5 The F01 indicates a failed electronic machine control board. This error code can sometimes be caused by a glitch or power surge through the electrical lines. You may be able to clear this code by unplugging the dryer for 5 minutes. If the code returns after plugging the dryer back in, then the electronic machine control board will need to be replaced. You can order a new control board from the Sears PartsDirect website. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdir... Here's how to do it: http://media.fotki.com/1_p,wkwdftgtbkdgf... Be sure to unplug the dryer before accessing internal components. When you access the control board, I recommend transferring the wires from the old control board to the new replacement control board one connection at a time. Once you have all of the wires transferred, remove the old control board and mount the new control board in the dryer. Reassemble and test the dryer. Alternatively: As with many appliance boards, relays that switch 120 VAC tend to create surge currents through the solder connections that attach the relays to the PC board. My dryer displayed a F01 also. After taking the control board out and examining the solder side of the board, it was immediately apparent that the solder joint for one of the relays had worn away and was causing arcing on the underside. I simply soldered a piece of 16 AWG wire in its place and the F01 issue is now resolved. Don't pay hundreds if dollars for a simple repair like this.
