    How to Fix Amana Dryer Error F31

    Error Code: F31 Difficulty: Easy

    Problem: Low or no line voltage is detected, preventing the heater from turning on.

    How to Fix F31 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Check that the dryer’s power cord is pushed all the way into the wall outlet.
    2. Go to your home’s main electrical panel (breaker box) and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
    3. Locate the circuit breaker dedicated to the dryer. Electric dryers use a double breaker, which is two breakers linked together.
