Well, you are right, an F2 error code does indicate a problem (usually a stuck key) with the interface board. Make sure the ribbon cable connectors are clean and dry. Make sure that there isn't anything at the bottom of the cable socket that might be shorting out 1 or more connectors. If you can't find anything wrong, the procedure is to replace the user interface first, and then if that doesn't work, replace the main controller. (Yes, I know, that can get expensive.)

SOURCE: error code AF Whirlpool cabrio dryer

I found the answer to the code AF also and it means the air flow is blocked. I checked my dryer vent on the outside and it was clear. However when I removed the dryer duct it was clogged just inside the machine. I had washed and dried a blanket that shed alot!

SOURCE: Whirlpool Cabrio model WED6200SW1 clothes dryer

There are two thermistors (thermal sensors) in this dryer; one is the outlet thermistor located on the blower housing and the other is the inlet thermistor located on the heating element housing as an integral part of the high-limit thermostat.

These thermistors are negative coefficient type and monitors the dryer temperature on their locations according to their resistance which varies inversely with the temperature. The resistance drops as the temperature rises and rises as temperature drops.

One or both of the thermistors has an open connection or high resistance which makes the electronic control board thinks that the dryer temperature is low no matter how high it is. The electronic control board then doesn't cycle the heater relay and continue to turn on the heating element. The dryer temperature continues to rise and this blows the thermal fuse.

Make sure the thermistors are connected snugly. Remember that loose or open connection means high (infinite) resistance which makes the electronic control thinks of low dryer temperature. Measure the resistance of each thermistor then refer to the tables below. Replace the thermistor if the resistance reading doesn't comply with the table.

F2E1 light is on but all buttons work

The F2E1 error code on a Whirlpool Cabrio dryer indicates a problem with the user interface control board. Even though the buttons on the keypad appear to work, there may be an issue with the board that is preventing the dryer from starting.
One potential solution is to try resetting the dryer by unplugging it from the power source for at least one minute, then plugging it back in and attempting to start it again. If this does not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to replace the user interface control board.
It is recommended to contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer for assistance with replacing the control board, as working with electrical components can be dangerous if not done properly.

f25 is a bad thermisiter,find the tech sheet in the dryer and it will tell you how to read out the thermisiter,if the thermisiter is good then you have a bad computer board.

Clicking noise in blower wheel area

Remove the rear cover and get the filter chute off there. Clean her up. This dryer is no different than other dryers with filter in the top.

Kenmore 110.6807 Dryer won't run properly. In diagnostic mode, everything checks out, Dryer runs and heats. Getting F2 error in normal and diagnostic modes. I disconnected P5 and checked the switches on...

One of the first things to do when a F2 error code appears is to perform a simple reset. To do this, turn the dryer off and disconnect power to the dryer. Wait 30 seconds to one minute, restore power and turn the dryer on. Choose a new dryer cycle and push "Start" to begin. If the error code does not return to the display, the reset was successful and no further action is necessary. Hope this helps.
