Error Code: F6E1 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Communication error between the main control board and the user interface (touchpad). This could be due to a problem with either board or the connecting wiring.

How to Fix F6E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet to prevent electrical shock.
2. Gain access to the main control board, which is typically located inside the top panel or on the back of the dryer.
3. Carefully inspect the wiring harness that connects the main control board to the user interface (the touchpad control panel).
4. Disconnect and then firmly reconnect the wiring harness at both ends to ensure a secure connection.
5. Look for any signs of damage to the wires, such as cuts, burns, or pinched areas.
6. If the wiring appears to be in good condition and the connection is secure, the main control board is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.
7. Due to the complexity of diagnosing and replacing electronic components, it is recommended to have a qualified service perform this repair.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: F4E3 Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Restricted airflow is detected. This is the same as the ‘AF’ code and can be caused by a clogged lint screen or vent issues.

How to Fix F4E3 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. First, pull out the dryer’s lint screen and clean it completely, as even a thin layer of lint can restrict airflow.
2. For safety, unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet before checking the vent.
3. Look inside the slot where the lint screen goes and use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool to remove any lint that has built up.
4. Carefully pull the dryer away from the wall to get to the exhaust vent hose.
5. Check the hose for any kinks or sharp bends that could be blocking air, then disconnect it and clean it out thoroughly.
6. Go outside and check the vent cover. Make sure the flap can move easily and is not clogged with lint or debris.
7. After ensuring the entire path is clear, reconnect the hose, plug the dryer in, and it should work correctly.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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.

Error Code: F22 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Indicates a door lock issue. The door may not be firmly shut, or there could be an obstruction.

How to Fix F22 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet to ensure your safety during the repair.
2. Open the dryer door and check for any clothes or foreign objects that might be preventing the door from closing securely.
3. Inspect the door strike and the latch mechanism for any signs of damage or misalignment.
4. To replace the door lock assembly, you will likely need to open the top panel or remove the front panel of the dryer.
5. Locate the door lock assembly on the inside of the front panel and disconnect the wiring harness attached to it.
6. Remove the screws securing the old lock assembly, take it out, and install the new one in its place.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: F30 Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Restricted airflow condition. This can be caused by a clogged lint screen, blocked door seal, or an obstructed vent.

How to Fix F30 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Start by cleaning the lint screen. Remove it from its housing and thoroughly clean off all lint.
2. Unplug the dryer from the power source before proceeding with further checks.
3. Inspect the lint screen housing inside the dryer for any lint buildup that the screen might have missed and use a vacuum to clean it out.
4. Check the dryer’s exhaust vent at the back. Ensure the ducting is not crushed, kinked, or clogged.
5. Disconnect the vent from the dryer and clean out the entire length of the ducting to the outside of your home.
6. Make sure the exterior vent flap on the outside of your house can open and close freely and is not blocked by debris.
7. Once clear, reattach the vent, plug in the dryer, and start a new cycle.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
