Kenmore Dryer F02 Error Code — Keypad or User Interface Fault

Kenmore Dryer

Medium Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the F02 error code and you are unsure how to proceed, turn off the appliance and contact a qualified technician. Some errors require professional repair to avoid further damage or safety risks.

The F02 error code on a Kenmore dryer indicates a problem with the user interface control or keypad. The dryer has detected that a button on the control panel is stuck, or there is a communication fault between the user interface and the main control board.

Causes

  • Stuck button on the control panel
  • Moisture or debris under the touchpad causing a false key press
  • Damaged user interface/touchpad assembly
  • Wiring fault between UI and main board

Troubleshooting

  1. Press each button on the control panel to check if any feel stuck or sunken.
  2. Clean around the buttons with a dry cloth.
  3. Unplug the dryer for 5 minutes and restart.
  4. If F02 persists, the touchpad or user interface board requires professional replacement.
