Possible Causes

    • Faulty heating element unable to generate sufficient heat • Defective temperature sensor sending incorrect readings to the control board • Broken or damaged thermal fuse that has blown due to overheating • Clogged lint filter restricting airflow and triggering temperature sensors • Blocked exhaust vent causing heat buildup and sensor shutdown • Kinked or crushed dryer vent hose preventing proper airflow • Malfunctioning control board unable to regulate heating element power • Poor electrical connection to the heating element circuit • Lint accumulation on the temperature sensor probe • Door latch switch failure preventing proper dryer operation

Safety Checks You Can Do

    • Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly with a brush to ensure maximum airflow and prevent sensor false triggers • Inspect the entire exhaust vent hose from dryer to wall outlet for blockages, kinks, or damage that restricts air passage • Check that the dryer door closes completely and latches securely, as improper closure can trigger error codes • Verify you are using the appropriate drying cycle setting for your load type and fabric • Inspect the exterior dryer vent opening outside your home to ensure it is not blocked by lint, debris, or bird nests • Use a vent cleaning brush or vacuum to remove lint buildup from accessible areas of the vent system • Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet for 60 seconds to perform a complete system reset, then plug back in and test • Ensure proper ventilation around the dryer with adequate clearance from walls and other appliances • Confirm all dryer connections are secure and the unit is not blocking its own vent with improper placement • Run a short test cycle after each troubleshooting step to determine if error F3 has been resolved
