How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing electronics.
Attempt reset and inspection:
- Unplug the dryer for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge and the control to fully reset.
- Reconnect power and attempt to start a simple timed cycle.
- If F63 reappears, inspect the control board for visible damage (burn marks, corrosion).
- There is no user-serviceable firmware repair; the control board will typically need replacement by a qualified technician.
