One of the first things to do when a F2 error code appears is to perform a simple reset. To do this, turn the dryer off and disconnect power to the dryer. Wait 30 seconds to one minute, restore power and turn the dryer on. Choose a new dryer cycle and push "Start" to begin. If the error code does not return to the display, the reset was successful and no further action is necessary. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Addendum to original problem
rbf, the even heat board sits under the consol next to the timer. You could have a dual problem here. On your first post you said the dryer would run for approx 20 to 30 seconds and then shut off. This is a sure sign of a failed thermistor. You want to check it out. If you have to hold the start button in, then I would suspect the even heat board. I have seen this many times. Flip the consol up and inspect it. You will have to slide a putty knife under each end of the consol. You will feel a clip. Push on it and pull up at the same time. The consol will lift up. See if you see any burn marks on the board. Sometimes they look good but are bad. The part number for the board is 8545904. Double check that but Im sure it's right. With out being there and from what you are describing, I would go for the even heat board. But I would also check out the thermistor. Catriver.

have you checked the thermal fuse, if bad replace and clean vent.
2 more things could be wrong,check the blower box to see if you have a thermister thermostat on it,check that with your omns meter,the other thing is the motor is no longer strong enough to turn the drum and it heat up and tips off,let me know what you find-mike

i would have to guess that its a problem with the control board. if it were the user interface it would most likely fail right away and not after a few minutes.
either one are expensive, but the board should cost about 120 bucks

it is the thermal switch look at the inside schematic it will show you where it is located
Set your ohmmeter to the R x 1 setting. Take each probe and touch it to one wire. A normal reading for most dryers is in the 2000 to 3000 ohms range. Try to locate a schematic for your dryer. It should be in one of the service areas of your dryer or in the owner's manual. This schematic should indicate the proper resistance reading for your specific timer motor.

The board has these flaky little white switches and they are impossible to unsolder, so I ordered a new user interface board online. Swapped it out and it worked! I wonder if the stacks of clothes I used to leave crammed up against the panel caused overheating, so I keep the surface clean now. Board cost about $100. Probably would have cost $200 for a service call.
I fixed this almost years ago but didn't post the solution in the right place. Still working :-)
