for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where your
dryer is located.
For Steam Cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Odors are left in garments after
wearing.
Load removed before cool down
portion of cycle complete.
Using Timed Dry Cycle with a high
temperature setting.
The drying cycle has been
interrupted by a power failure.
There may be a problem with your
home power supply keeping the
dryer's heater from turning on.
The dryer is in need of service.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water
inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Enhanced
Touch Up or Quick Refresh (on some models). These cycles are
best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of
wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits,
and synthetics.
Allow the dryer to complete the cool down portion of the cycle
before removing the load.
Select an Automatic cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid
overdrying the load.
Press START/PAUSE twice to resume the cycle, or press
POWER to select a new cycle.
The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code
is present. Press any key to clear the code from the display
and return to the estimated time remaining.
Try the following:
Check to see if a household fuse has blown or circuit
breaker has tripped. Electric dryers use two household fuses
or breakers. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Confirm the power cord is properly installed. Refer to
"Installation Instructions" for details.
Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.
If a code beginning with an "F" appears in the display.
Alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has
detected a problem that requires service. Call for service.
