Whirlpool Whirlpool WED75HEFW 7.4 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with Steam F6E3 Error Fix: Gas Valve Relay Failure

Error code F6E3 on the Whirlpool Whirlpool WED75HEFW 7.4 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with Steam means: Gas Valve Relay Failure. On gas dryers only: the relay controlling the gas valve solenoids on the main board has failed. The gas valve will not open, so the dryer runs but does not produce heat. The main electronic control board must be replaced. Note: this is different from the common gas valve coil failure — if the coils themselves are weak (dryer heats initially but stops heating after 5-10 minutes), replace the gas valve coils instead.

The most successful fix is "Replace the Main Electronic Control Board" (hard difficulty, ~60 minutes). Estimated DIY cost: $50-$80. HomeMD has 2 community-ranked fixes for this error.
