How to Fix F6E2 Error

Disconnect the dryer from power.
This error indicates a communication problem between the main control board and the user interface (the panel with the buttons).
Remove the top panel of the dryer to access both boards.
Check the wire harness that connects the two boards. Unplug it and plug it back in firmly on both ends to ensure a good connection.
If reseating the connection doesn’t work, the user interface assembly is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.
