How to Fix F01 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet. This is a critical safety step.
  2. Locate the main control board, which is typically found inside the control console at the top of the dryer.
  3. Remove the screws holding the top or back panel of the control console to gain access to the board.
  4. Carefully take a photo of the wire connections on the old board to remember where everything goes.
  5. Disconnect all the wire harnesses from the old control board. They usually have locking tabs that need to be pressed.
  6. Remove the mounting screws holding the old board in place and install the new control board.
  7. Reconnect all the wire harnesses to the new board using your photo as a guide, reassemble the console, plug in the dryer, and test its functions.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
