⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: F31 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Low or no line voltage is detected, preventing the heater from turning on.
How to Fix F31 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Check that the dryer’s power cord is pushed all the way into the wall outlet.
- Go to your home’s main electrical panel (breaker box) and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Locate the circuit breaker dedicated to the dryer. Electric dryers use a double breaker, which is two breakers linked together.
- If the breaker is in the middle (tripped) position, you must first push it fully to the ‘OFF’ position.
- After turning it fully off, push the breaker firmly to the ‘ON’ position to restore power.
- If the breaker trips again as soon as you start the dryer, do not reset it again. There may be a problem with your home’s wiring or the dryer itself that requires a professional electrician.
- 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.
