How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the console or control board.

  • Power reset: Disconnect power for 5 minutes to allow the control to reset. Plug back in and try a cycle.
  • Inspect wiring: Remove the top panel or console (depending on model). Locate the main control board. Check all harness connectors for being fully seated, corrosion, or burnt spots.
  • Check for visible damage: Look for burned components or cracked solder joints on the control board.
  • Reassemble and test: If no damage is found and connections are secure, restore power and test again.

If F1/F01 returns, the main control board is typically defective and must be replaced with the correct Amana part number. This repair involves handling sensitive electronics; if unsure, contact a qualified technician.
