How to Fix F7E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

Open the dryer door and check the load size. An overly large or heavy load can prevent the drum from spinning up to the correct speed.
Untangle and redistribute the items inside the drum to ensure the load is balanced.
Remove any items if the dryer is overloaded, then close the door firmly.
Select a new cycle and press the ‘Start’ button and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
Make sure all doors, lids, and hoses are fully closed and seated correctly.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
