How to Fix F3 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. 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.
  2. Examine the water inlet hose for any visible kinks or blockages that might stop water from entering the machine.
  3. If your specific model uses a water reservoir tank, remove it and verify that it is filled with water to the indicated fill line.
  4. For models that drain water, inspect the drain hose to make sure it is not clogged or improperly positioned, which could prevent proper draining.
  5. Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet and wait for five minutes to allow the internal computer to perform a soft reset.
  6. Plug the dryer back in and attempt to start a new cycle to see if the issue has been resolved.
  7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
