Error Code: F5 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Wrong variant – Wrong combination of switches on PCB.
How to Fix F5 Error (Step-by-Step)
- This error indicates a communication issue within the dryer’s main computer. Start by pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button to attempt to clear the code.
- If the code remains, perform a power cycle by unplugging the dryer’s power cord directly from the wall outlet.
- Leave the dryer unplugged for at least 5 minutes. This allows the internal electronic components to fully discharge and reset their memory.
- Plug the power cord firmly back into the wall outlet.
- Select a simple timed dry cycle and press the ‘Start’ button.
- If the dryer starts and runs normally, the reset was successful and the issue is resolved.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
