Error Code: F7 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Service program wrongfully engaged.
How to Fix F7 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 inside the top panel of the dryer. You will likely need to remove a few screws from the back of the top panel to slide it off.
- Before disconnecting any wires, take a clear picture of the connections on the old control board with your smartphone. This will be your guide for connecting the new board.
- Carefully disconnect all the wire harnesses from the old control board. The board itself is usually held in place by a few mounting screws or plastic clips. Remove these to free the board.
- Install the new main control board, securing it with the same screws or clips. Refer to the picture you took to reconnect all the wire harnesses to the correct terminals on the new board.
- Reassemble the dryer by sliding the top panel back into place and securing it with the screws you removed earlier.
- Plug the dryer back into the power outlet and run a test cycle to ensure the error is cleared and the dryer is functioning correctly.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
