How to Fix F2E6 Error (Step-by-Step)

Cancel the current cycle by pressing the ‘Cancel’ button and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Open the dryer door and redistribute the load of clothes to ensure it is balanced.
Check for any items that may be caught in the drum and preventing it from turning freely.
Close the door firmly and try to start the cycle again.
If the error persists, unplug the dryer for one minute to reset the motor’s electronics.
Plug the dryer back in and attempt to run a cycle with an empty drum.
If you still hear a humming or buzzing noise without the drum turning, the motor may be jammed.
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.
