My Kenmore Elite Smartheat Quietpak 4 will not start. Dryer light is on. When I press the Power button I get 3 quick beeps. After a minute the display flashes F70. What's wrong???
The F70 error indicates a heartbeat failure of the central control.
If the error occurs while the washer is running then likely it is a problem with the interface. If the error occurs while nothing is running then the central control is most likely at fault.
If the error occurs while the motor is running then the console/membrane is most likely at fault.
This problem can be caused by a short in the low voltage circuit.
It is a difficult problem to pin down and the parts are to expensive just to replace so I suggest a technician check and repair this problem.
Hi,
There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...
The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor going bad...

I am regularly getting the F70 error code. I have to power off, ull out the lint vent and restart. Sometimes i have unplug it and repeat those steps. Frustrating.
