I’m receiving a f01 error message. Please help.
For model number WED8300SW2
PartSelect logo
Hello Lakisha, thank you for your question. Our research indicates that an F01 error code could be resolved with a simple reset, by unplugging the dryer for 1 minute and then plugging it back in. If this does not resolve the issue, your thermostats and fuses will need to be inspected for continuity. If these parts are in working condition, then your main control board may need to be replaced. We hope this helps!

I returned to dryer to find the door open and F01 flashing. Clothes were very hot, not sure how long had been open. Dryer type is Dhzn-Ele-2406024-EL54

Hi Jeff, thank you for the question. The error code F01 on the dryer indicates a malfunction of the control board or one of the components connected to it. It is often caused by a power outage or a power surge. We recommend replacing the control board, part number PS11748333, to fix the issue. Good luck with this repair!

Hello Duane, Thank you for your inquiry. We have researched the model you have provided and we would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: the moisture sensor, the thermal fuse, the cycling thermostat, and the user interface board with timer switch. Check the board for any visible damage or loose connections, and you can test the other parts with a multimeter. Also check for any restrictions to the vent and lint filter duct. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Dryer was working, but no heat.
First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils.
Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts.
So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading.
I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart.
Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes.

No heat but would run otherwise
Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.

Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.

The actual repair was quite simple and didn't take but 15-20 minutes.

Door Catch part had fallen out,/ was missing
Received your parts, Popped them both right into place, Even though only one side needed to be replaced, I wanted them to match up. It was amazing how easy this was. My husband was quite impressed I had ordered these rather then look for either a new or used dryer from some other source.
