Error Code: DR Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Door switch is not closed.

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

1. Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Open the dryer door and locate the door switch, which is usually a small plastic component with a button or lever near the door opening.
3. Check if anything is physically blocking the door from closing completely and engaging the switch.
4. Remove the screws holding the door switch in place. You may need to pry it out gently.
5. Disconnect the wire harness attached to the back of the switch.
6. Connect the new door switch to the wire harness and secure it in the original position with its screws.
7. Plug the dryer back in and test the door to ensure the dryer starts.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: DP Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Drain pump activated.

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

1. For condenser or heat pump dryers, locate the water collection tank, which is usually at the top left of the unit.
2. Carefully slide the water tank out of its housing and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
3. Carry the tank to a sink and empty all the water out.
4. Slide the empty tank firmly back into its slot until it clicks into place.
5. If your model drains directly into a standpipe, check the drain hose for any kinks or clogs that would prevent water from draining properly.
6. Ensure the end of the drain hose is not pushed too far into the standpipe, which can create a siphon effect and prevent proper drainage.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: UO Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Vent open.

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

1. Check the back of the dryer to ensure the vent hose is securely attached to the dryer’s exhaust port.
2. Follow the vent hose to the wall and confirm it is also securely attached to the wall duct opening.
3. Straighten out any sharp kinks or bends in the flexible vent hose that could be restricting airflow.
4. Disconnect the hose from both the dryer and the wall and look through it to check for any lint blockages.
5. Clean any accumulated lint from both the dryer’s exhaust port and the wall duct opening before reattaching the hose.
6. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
7. Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

Error Code: UF Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Fan not running.

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

1. Disconnect the dryer from its power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Depending on your model, remove either the front or rear panel to access the blower wheel housing.
3. Locate the blower wheel, which looks like a hamster wheel. Check for any lint, socks, or other debris that may be jamming it and preventing it from turning.
4. Inspect the drive belt. If it is broken, frayed, or has come off the motor pulley, it will need to be replaced.
5. If the blower wheel is clear and the belt is intact, the issue may be the drive motor itself. A seized or failed motor will need to be replaced by a professional.
6. Check the wiring between the motor and the main control board for any loose or burnt connections.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: HF Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Line safe sensing circuit failure (main board failure).

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

1. Ensure the dryer is completely disconnected from the power supply by unplugging the power cord.
2. Remove the top panel of the dryer to gain access to the internal electronics.
3. Identify the main control board, usually found near the top front of the unit.
4. Photograph the existing wire connections to the board to ensure correct reassembly.
5. Systematically unplug each wire connector from the old board. Be gentle and press any release tabs on the connectors.
6. Unscrew the mounting screws that hold the control board in its housing and carefully remove it.
7. Place the new main control board into the housing, secure it with the screws, and reconnect all the wires exactly as they were on the old board.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
