What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

Product Help covers F71 for commercial-grade residential dryers with a reset and nothing more, so no cause can be named.

Reset

Shut off the breaker(s) feeding the dryer for 5 minutes. Switch them back on and start a time dry cycle. Then watch the dryer for a minute; the code should not return.

When it does return

Product Help points to a qualified technician at that stage.
