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