Error Code: F8E7 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Heater box thermal cut-out (TCO) error.
How to Fix F8E7 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet to ensure your safety.
- Pull the dryer away from the wall to get full access to the rear exhaust duct.
- Disconnect the flexible duct from both the back of the dryer and the wall vent opening. Be prepared for some lint to fall out.
- Inspect the entire length of the duct for clogs, kinks, or excessive lint buildup. Clean it out thoroughly using a vacuum or a specialized dryer vent cleaning brush.
- Go outside to where the dryer vents and check the exterior vent flap. Make sure it can open and close freely and is not blocked by lint, debris, or animal nests.
- Once the entire vent path is clear, securely reattach the ducting. Plug the dryer back in.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
