Error Code: F3 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Water level problem caused by incoming or drain pump is not working.
How to Fix F3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- This error is related to the water system in steam-capable dryers. Begin by confirming the water supply faucet connected to the dryer is fully open.
- Examine the water inlet hose for any visible kinks or blockages that might stop water from entering the machine.
- If your specific model uses a water reservoir tank, remove it and verify that it is filled with water to the indicated fill line.
- For models that drain water, inspect the drain hose to make sure it is not clogged or improperly positioned, which could prevent proper draining.
- Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet and wait for five minutes to allow the internal computer to perform a soft reset.
- Plug the dryer back in and attempt to start a new cycle to see if the issue has been resolved.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
