Error Code: F7E1 Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Motor speed sensing error; the motor is not reaching the correct speed for the selected cycle.

How to Fix F7E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Open the dryer door and check the load size. An overly large or heavy load can prevent the drum from spinning up to the correct speed.
2. Untangle and redistribute the items inside the drum to ensure the load is balanced.
3. Remove any items if the dryer is overloaded, then close the door firmly.
4. Select a new cycle and press the ‘Start’ button and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
5. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
6. Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
7. Make sure all doors, lids, and hoses are fully closed and seated correctly.

Error Code: FD Difficulty: Easy

Problem: On some washer/dryer combo units, this indicates a drainage fault or a heating issue. On standalone washers, it means “Factory Default” settings have been restored.

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

1. Press the ‘Cancel’ button to clear the code. This error indicates a drainage issue on washer/dryer combo units.
2. Check the drain hose at the back of the appliance. Ensure it is not kinked, crushed, or clogged.
3. Verify that the end of the drain hose is not sealed into the standpipe; there should be an air gap to allow for proper draining.
4. Confirm that the standpipe or utility sink where the unit drains is not clogged.
5. Locate the drain pump filter access panel on the bottom front of the unit. Place a towel down and unscrew the filter to clean out any accumulated lint or debris.
6. Reinstall the filter securely and run a test cycle to see if the error is cleared.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: PF Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: A power failure has occurred, interrupting the drying cycle.

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

1. The ‘PF’ code simply indicates the dryer cycle was interrupted by a power failure. Press the ‘Start’ button to clear the code and resume the cycle.
2. If there was no known power outage and the code appears, unplug the dryer from the wall outlet.
3. Wait for at least 10 minutes to allow the internal electronics to fully discharge and reset.
4. While unplugged, inspect the power cord for any signs of damage or a loose connection at the terminal block on the back of the dryer.
5. Plug the dryer securely back into the outlet and attempt to start a new cycle.
6. If the code persists or the dryer behaves erratically, a power surge may have damaged the main electronic control board, which will require professional diagnosis and replacement.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: F# E# Difficulty: Hard

Problem: A general fault has been detected by the dryer’s control board that requires service.

How to Fix F# E# Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Attempt a system reset first. Unplug the dryer from the power outlet or switch off its circuit breaker for 5 minutes. This can sometimes clear temporary glitches.
2. Access the control board by removing the screws on the back of the top control console panel.
3. Before touching any wires, take a clear, well-lit photo of the board and all its connections. This is your map for reassembly.
4. Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses from the old board. They have small clips that need to be pressed to release.
5. Remove the screws or clips holding the old board and swap it with the new one.
6. Using your photo as a guide, meticulously reconnect every wire harness to the correct port on the new board until they click into place.
7. Reassemble the control console, plug the dryer in, and test its operation.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: F01 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Primary control failure.

How to Fix F01 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Start by performing a hard reset. Disconnect the dryer from power by unplugging it or turning off the breaker for at least 5 minutes to discharge the control board.
2. Plug the dryer back in and attempt to start a cycle. If the F01 code returns, the control board has failed and must be replaced. Unplug the dryer again.
3. Locate the main control board, which is typically inside the top control console. Remove the rear screws of the console to access it.
4. Take a detailed photograph of the wire connections on the old board to use as a reference.
5. Systematically unplug each wire harness from the old board. Most have a locking tab you must press to release.
6. Remove the old board by releasing its mounting clips or screws. Install the new board in its place.
7. Carefully and correctly reconnect all wire harnesses to the new board based on your reference photo.
8. Secure the control console, restore power, and run a test cycle to ensure the dryer is functioning properly.
