Whirlpool Dryer F20 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F20
Appliance Dryer

Product Help lists F20 for commercial-grade residential Whirlpool dryers and offers a power reset without naming a cause.

Five-minute breaker reset

  1. Shut off the breaker or breakers for the dryer, or unplug it, and keep it that way for 5 minutes.
  2. Turn the power on again.
  3. Run a time dry cycle.
  4. Observe the display for one minute to see if F20 comes back.

If it does, schedule a technician rather than repeating the routine.

Other reset-only entries

  • F22 has the same reset steps.
  • F23 is another entry of this kind.
  • F2E1 is a stuck-key code on laundry towers.
