How I fixed an F70 Error Code on a Sears Kenmore HE3 Dryer. Communication Error. Possible loose or corroded electrical connection at circuit board plug connectors.
My unit will just not start, no fault codes unless i go into the diagnostics set up, Then i get the F70 & F25 INLET THERMISTOR, don't know if the F25 fault is an additional fault because of the F70. Prior to that i had the main controller board smoke. Replaced it and everything ran fine for 3 months, This dryer is at the 10yr cycle just out of warranty by a couple of weeks. Called up kennmore sears and could not get any goodwill. They told me we don't care if its 1 day out of warranty we will not fix it.
Not sure if you check/reply to your comments or not, but I have the exact same dryer and have a question that I’m hoping you may have some advice on - my front control panel won’t do ANYTHING. No error codes, no lights, no beeps...nothing. I know the dryer is getting power because the drum light comes on when you open the door - but the drum light does NOT come on when the door is closed and you press the drum light button. Any suggestions?? :-)
I'm not a service/repair person, I just figure things out, so i don't have a good answer, but it could be a "controls" communication problem due to a loose or corroded connection. See my Video for "Dryer F70 Error Code Fix for Sears HE3. It might help.
Looks like a new board possibly i ran continuity checks for open or shorted wires, checked connection and pins everything checks out. looks like i'm buying more parts. Really i can't complain i got 10 yrs out of it. Just seems like everything goes to pot after the warranty runs out. Nothing lasts forever anymore.
Thank you. Had the same issue. Followed your instructions and it works. Saved me so much money on repairs.
It worked for me thanks for taking out the time to make this video
