How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the dryer before accessing the motor or control board.
- Step 1 – Inspect motor and harness: Remove the front panel and drum to access the motor. Check for burnt smell, discoloration, or melted wires.
- Step 2 – Test motor windings: Disconnect the motor and measure resistance across windings per the tech sheet. Replace the motor if windings are shorted or open.
- Step 3 – Inspect control board: Check the main control for burnt traces or components in the motor drive area.
- Step 4 – Replace faulty parts: Replace the drive motor if defective. If the motor is good but F01E2 persists, replace the main control board.
Due to the complexity of motor control circuits, professional diagnosis is often recommended.
