How to Fix Amana Dryer Error F3E2

Error Code: F3E2 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: A moisture sensor issue has been detected. This can occur if five consecutive loads are dried without the sensor registering moisture.

How to Fix F3E2 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet to prevent electrical hazards.
2. Locate the moisture sensor strips, which are two thin, metal bars typically found on the inside of the dryer drum, near the lint filter housing.
3. Clean the sensor strips thoroughly with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol, as a buildup of fabric softener residue can prevent them from working correctly.
4. If cleaning doesn’t solve the issue, you may need to replace the sensor, which usually requires removing the front panel.
5. Disconnect the wire harness leading to the sensor strips from the inside of the front panel.
6. Remove the old sensor strips and install the new ones, ensuring they are securely in place. Reconnect the wiring.
7. Reassemble the dryer, plug it in, and run a load to test the automatic cycle.
8. 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.
