Error Code: F6 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Control board fault.
How to Fix F6 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet. Safety is the first priority.
- Access the main control board. This is typically located behind the main console or on the side of the dryer. You may need to remove the top or back panel of the dryer with a screwdriver.
- Take a clear picture of the wire connections on the old control board before disconnecting anything. This will be your guide for connecting the new board.
- Carefully disconnect all the wire harnesses from the old control board. Most connectors have a small tab that needs to be pressed to release.
- Remove the screws or release the clips holding the old control board in place and gently remove it.
- Install the new control board, securing it with the screws or clips you just removed.
- Reconnect all the wire harnesses to the new board, using the picture you took as a reference to ensure each connection is in the correct spot.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
