Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before servicing electronics.
- Step 1 – Power cycle: Unplug the dryer for 10 minutes, then restore power and attempt to start a cycle.
- Step 2 – Check for other codes: If additional codes appear, address them first as they may be related.
- Step 3 – Replace main control: If F01E1 returns consistently, the main control board’s memory is likely corrupted. Replace the board with the correct OEM part, transferring all connectors one at a time.
EEPROM errors are not typically repairable at home; board replacement is the standard fix.
