Error Code: F68 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Circulation pump operation after switch-off.
How to Fix F68 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet. Also, turn off the water supply if you have a condensation dryer connected to a water line.
- Remove the lower front access panel of the dryer. This may require removing a few screws, typically located at the bottom edge of the panel.
- Place a shallow pan and towels under the circulation pump to catch any residual water. The pump is usually located at the bottom of the appliance and has several hoses connected to it.
- Carefully disconnect the wire harnesses attached to the pump. Then, use pliers to release the clamps on the hoses connected to the pump and slide them off.
- Unmount the old circulation pump from the dryer’s base. It may be held in place by screws or a mounting bracket.
- Install the new circulation pump, ensuring it is securely mounted. Reconnect the hoses and secure them with the clamps, then plug the wire harnesses back into their correct terminals.
- Reattach the lower access panel, restore power and water to the dryer, and run a test cycle to ensure the pump operates correctly and there are no leaks.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
