Possible Causes

Open or shorted dryer heater, Faulty dryer thermostat or thermal fuse, Wiring fault to dryer heater, Faulty main PCB dryer relay

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power. Dryer heaters can remain hot; wait before touching.

F14 indicates the dryer heater is not operating correctly.

  • Check thermostats/fuses: Locate the dryer heater assembly and identify any inline thermostats or thermal fuses. Test for continuity; replace any that are open.
  • Test heater element: Measure resistance across the dryer heater. An open circuit means the heater must be replaced.
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure all connectors are tight and wires are not burnt or damaged.

If heater and thermostats are good but F14 persists, the dryer heater relay or control circuit on the PCB may be faulty and require board replacement.
