Problem: Main control board failure – brain of machine has failed
How to Fix F01 Error
- UNPLUG THE DRYER. This is a fatal error indicating the main control board has failed.
- Try a hard reset by leaving the unit unplugged for 10 minutes to discharge capacitors. If the error persists after plugging it back in, the board is confirmed bad.
- The main control board must be replaced. Locate the board (usually in the top console). Take a photo of the wiring connections for reference.
- Carefully label each wire connector with tape and a number. Disconnect all connectors from the old board.
- Remove the screws holding the board, swap it with the new one, and meticulously reconnect all wires to their correct spots. Reassemble the dryer.
