Detected condition

What may contribute
Possible causes

- A temporary control-state problem may clear after one documented power cycle.
- If the code returns, internal keypad, harness, or control diagnosis may be required.
Start conservatively
Safe preliminary checks
Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.
Record the code before resetting
- Photograph or write down F2 E2 and note what the dryer was doing when it appeared.
- Make sure no item is resting against the external controls and do not spray cleaner or water into the console.
Power-cycle once
- Switch the dryer circuit breaker off for one minute, restore power, and start a Timed Dry cycle as Amana documents.
- If F2 E2 reappears, stop repeating resets and arrange service.
Actions not recommended
- Do not remove the console, unplug internal keypad ribbons, or probe control wiring.
- Do not replace the control board or user interface from F2 E2 alone.
- Do not keep power-cycling a dryer that trips a breaker, smells burned, or shows heat damage.
When to stop and request service
- F2 E2 returns after one documented power cycle.
- The controls are unresponsive, activate unpredictably, or show visible damage.
- Internal keypad, harness, or control diagnosis is required.
