Problem: Motor / Drive Fault

How to Fix F50 Error

1. This is a general motor fault, similar to F
2. Disconnect the dryer from power.
3. Check the drive belt to ensure it is not broken or slipped off the pulleys.
4. If the belt is fine, the drive motor is the most likely cause. This requires disassembling the dryer cabinet to access and replace the motor.
5. If replacing the motor does not fix the error, the fault lies with the main control board, which will need to be replaced.

Problem: Communication Error (UI → Main Board)

How to Fix F6E2 Error

1. Disconnect the dryer from power.
2. This error indicates a communication problem between the main control board and the user interface (the panel with the buttons).
3. Remove the top panel of the dryer to access both boards.
4. Check the wire harness that connects the two boards. Unplug it and plug it back in firmly on both ends to ensure a good connection.
5. If reseating the connection doesn’t work, the user interface assembly is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.

Problem: Communication Handshake Failure

How to Fix F6E3 Error

1. Disconnect the dryer from power.
2. This is a more severe communication error. Access the main control board and user interface by removing the top panel.
3. Check the wiring between the two boards for any damage or loose connections.
4. If the wiring is good, the problem is a failed component. It can be difficult to determine which board is at fault. Technicians often start by replacing the main control board first.
5. If that doesn’t work, the user interface is the faulty part.
