How to Fix Amana Dryer Error F23

Error Code: F23 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Fault in the exhaust/outlet thermistor.

How to Fix F23 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Always begin by unplugging the dryer from the power outlet for safety.
2. The outlet thermistor is usually located on the exhaust housing; you will need to remove the back panel of the dryer to access it.
3. Locate the small, oval-shaped thermistor. It will have two wires connected to it.
4. Disconnect the two wires from the thermistor terminals and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
5. Remove the screw that holds the thermistor in place and take out the old part.
6. Install the new thermistor, secure it with the screw, and reconnect the two wires.
7. Replace the back panel, plug the dryer back in, and run a test cycle to see if the error is resolved.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
