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.
