Possible Causes
• Thermal sensor or thermistor failure or malfunction
• Loose or disconnected thermal sensor wiring harness
• Blown thermal fuse due to overheating or electrical surge
• Faulty heating element preventing temperature regulation
• Blocked exhaust vent causing internal temperature buildup
• Failed temperature control board or electronic component
• Power supply fluctuations affecting sensor calibration
• Lint accumulation interfering with sensor function
Precautionary measures
• Verify the dryer is firmly plugged into a grounded 240V outlet and check the power cord for visible damage
• Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches securely
• Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly, then inspect the filter housing for lint buildup
• Check the external exhaust vent outside your home to confirm it is not blocked or restricted
• Verify adequate airflow by feeling air exiting the exterior vent while the dryer runs
• Confirm the circuit breaker for the dryer in your electrical panel has not tripped; reset if necessary
• Avoid overloading the dryer drum—ensure loads are at normal capacity
• Verify you have selected an appropriate drying cycle for your laundry load type
• Unplug the dryer or turn off its dedicated circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power to reset the appliance
• Attempt a test cycle to see if the error has cleared
• If the F6 error code continues to appear after these steps, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service to diagnose and repair the thermal sensor or related components
