The F02 error code on a Whirlpool Duet Dryer indicates a Keypad/User Interface Failure. This error typically occurs when there is a stuck button or a mismatch in the user interface. The F02 error is a specific fault code that will only appear when the dryer is in the diagnostic test mode.

When the F02 error is displayed, it means that the dryer’s control system has detected an issue with the keypad or the interface panel. This could be due to a button that is stuck in the pressed position or an electronic malfunction within the user interface assembly. It's important to address this issue promptly as it can prevent the dryer from operating correctly or responding to user commands.

Although the F02 error code primarily indicates a problem with the user interface, it's crucial to perform a detailed diagnostic to identify the exact cause of the issue. The error might result from a loose connection, a fault in the console electronics, or an issue with the machine control electronics.

To resolve the F02 error code, it is recommended to run the Console Buttons and Indicators Diagnostic test to pinpoint which button or indicator is causing the problem. Depending on the results of the diagnostic test, you may need to check the console electronics, the P5 connector, or even replace the user interface assembly. Refer to the repair guide for a step-by-step troubleshooting process.

If you continue to experience issues with the F02 error code, it may be necessary to replace certain components to restore proper functionality. Visit our repair guide linked below for detailed instructions on how to troubleshoot and fix the F02 error on your Whirlpool Duet Dryer.
