How to Fix F1E4 Error (Step-by-Step)

For your safety, unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet before beginning any work.
The control unit is usually located inside the control panel or on the back of the dryer. You will need to remove the necessary panels to gain access.
Carefully examine the wiring connected to the control unit. Look for any loose plugs or wires that may have become disconnected.
Re-seat any connectors that appear to be loose by unplugging them and plugging them back in securely.
Inspect the wiring for any visible signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or burn marks.
If all wiring appears to be intact and securely connected, the control unit itself may be faulty and require replacement by a qualified appliance service.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
