How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off the breaker and unplug the dryer before inspecting electrical components. Only perform live tests if you are trained.
- Step 1 – Reset breaker: Firmly reset the double-pole breaker for the dryer at the service panel.
- Step 2 – Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear cover and check for loose or burned connections at the terminal block. Tighten screws and replace any burned parts.
- Step 3 – Check power cord: Inspect the cord for cuts, burns, or melted insulation. Replace if damaged.
- Step 4 – Verify outlet voltage: Using a multimeter, confirm that the outlet provides correct voltage (approximately 240V across the two hot legs). If not, contact an electrician.
- Step 5 – Test dryer: After correcting any power issues, reassemble, restore power, and run a heated cycle to ensure F73 is cleared.
