Your Kenmore dryer is flashing a code — here's what it's telling you, whether you can fix it yourself, and when to call an OKC dryer specialist. Codes can vary by model year, so confirm against your manual.
Exhaust thermistor fault (Whirlpool-built models).
Likely cause: Many Kenmore dryers are built by Whirlpool, so they share codes — F22 is a failed exhaust thermistor.
What to do: The thermistor needs replacement; have the wiring checked too.
Main control board failure.
Likely cause: Electronic control board fault.
What to do: Usually requires board service or replacement.
Door error.
Likely cause: Door not sensing closed — strike or switch.
What to do: Make sure the door latches firmly; if it persists, replace the switch.
Control board reset / error display.
Likely cause: Often a power or control board glitch.
What to do: Unplug for a minute and restart. If it returns, the board needs service.
Restricted airflow.
Likely cause: Clogged vent or lint screen.
What to do: Clean the lint screen and full vent run. Persisting after that means call us.
