How to Fix F9E8 Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Wait for at least 5 minutes to allow the internal electronics to fully reset.
Locate the accessory port on your dryer. This is typically on the back or near the control panel.
If an accessory (like a smart module) is connected, unplug it and then plug it back in securely to ensure a solid connection.
Plug the dryer back into the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
