How to Fix Amana Dryer Error F02

Error Code: F02 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Indicates a potential issue with the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the associated wiring.

How to Fix F02 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the power outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Remove the screws from the rear panel of the dryer and set the panel aside.
3. Locate the thermistor. This sensor is mounted on the silver-colored blower housing, which is where your flexible vent hose connects to the dryer.
4. Disconnect the wire plug attached to the thermistor. You may need to press a small tab to release it.
5. Use a 1/4-inch nut driver or a Phillips screwdriver to remove the single screw holding the thermistor in place.
6. Install the new thermistor, secure it with the screw, and plug the wire connector back in securely.
7. Reinstall the rear panel, plug the dryer in, and run a timed dry cycle to confirm the error is resolved.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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