Hi

I believe that everything else is fine rather it is the thermal fuse that is located inside the rear panel to the exhaust duct that is bad and should be replaced. If you want you can test this fuse for continuity and if it is bad then it should be replaced, as it cannot be reset. If the fuse is fine then it can be due to the control board that is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

sounds like it maybe a problem where you might have to check your exhaust to outside make sure all is clear of lint if clogged unit won't work.

The dryer is designed to be vented outside therefore there's no way you can eliminate the humidity being introduced other than designing or installing a condensing system that would effectively extract the steam and turn it back into liquid. This condensing system must be constantly cooled to effectively to function as such.

Increasing the depth of the water may reduce the humidity being introduced but not significantly unless it is constantly cooled or deep enough that there will no temperature thereof during the entire drying cycle. The water loses its condensing ability as the dryer runs due to the consequent increase in the temperature thereof. Thus, there's a need to device a way to introduce fresh and cool water as the dryer runs in order to maintain the water temperature and extract as much steam and turn it back into water and be collected for disposal.

It is highly recommended to install a ventless dryer in locations where there's no possible way to install a vent. Ventless dryers are equipped with a built-in condenser that turns the steam back into water and dispose it to the drainage like a washing machine.

Take a good look on the control panel on the right ..It has a button that says press for 3 seconds for to lock ..Im not sure on your model ...but all models have a control locking button ..It may be the start cycle one ..If it is ..you have to press he button for 3 seconds and will unlock the controls ..
This happens when you try to make it start the cycle and hold the button on ..too long ..

Many times this is due to the internal passages of the dryer being clogged, especially
around the blower assembly and narrow ducting areas of the machine. I would
try a shop vac with the narrow extension and a refrigerator brush available at
the big box home improvement store. Hope this helps.

Hi dangv1...

Check and clean if necessary your vent hose.
If you vent hose "seems" to be clean then,try running the dryer with the vent hose off and see if the dryer is not running hot anymore.
Make sure your lint screen is in place and has no tears or holes in it and is still firmly attached to the frame.
If you are running too hot you are not moving enough air thru the system.
It could be that the fan blade is plugged up.
The problem could be a large lint ball build up in the center of the fan or a sock,thin pants,a pen,etc. that has gotten into the fan by falling down the hole where the lint screen is normally inserted.
You have to find the air restriction to solve the problem.
It also can be a loose or worn out blower wheel/fan.
Please take time to rate me.

F70 is "Central control unit heart beat failure" No communication is detected from the Central Control Unit to the User Interface. (In english, this means that the controler unit mounted in the bottom of the machine, probably in a plastic cover, has stopped talking to the control panel on the front of the machine where you push the buttons).

You need to take the top off the machine and check that the wiring harness between the 2 units is intact and that the plugs on the ends of the harness are firmly in place on both the Central Control Unit and the User Interface. If this fails to fix the problem, then the action indicated is that if the drum is rotating while this error is showing, the user interface is faulty and requires replacement. If the drum is NOT rotating while displaying this error, then the Central Control Unit should be replaced.

This problem is commonly caused by a blown thermal fuse located on the blower housing behind the bottom panel. Remove the bottom panel then the lint duct and check continuity of the thermal fuse. You can also bypass the thermal fuse for troubleshooting purposes. Check for blocked lint filter and restricted vent system if the thermal fuse is indeed blown then replace it including the thermistor.

A good option would be to try putting it on a short cycle, and leave it to run its course, most washers and dryers will unlock and open afterwards.

Hi
