F05Warning

Amana Dryer F05 Error Code

The dryer detects airflow blockage due to lint buildup or kinked vent hose, leading to long dry times.

Common causes

  • Clogged lint screen
  • Kinked or crushed exhaust vent
  • Long vent run with too many turns
  • Lint buildup in vent pipe

How to fix it

  1. Clean the lint screen thoroughly.
  2. Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer and check for obstructions.
  3. Ensure the vent hose is not kinked and is as short and straight as possible.
⚠ When to call a pro: If cleaning and straightening the vent does not resolve the code, or if vent is buried in wall, call a pro for vent cleaning.
