What to do when F158 shows on the dryerKind of codeHeating
The dryer expected heat and did not get it, or got it too slowly. On an electric model the element and its wiring; on a gas model the igniter, the flame sensor and the valve coils. A blocked vent is ruled out first.
Usually leads toHeating element repair
No heat or weak heat on an electric dryer, traced to the coil, its terminals or the safety parts on its housing.

The cabinet, the door or the clothes come out far hotter than normal, sometimes before the dryer shuts itself off.
