Quick answer
F22 appears on Whirlpool commercial-grade residential dryers. The listing gives a power reset and no stated cause.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F22 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
Code listed on Whirlpool Product Help with only reset steps and no stated cause.
What F22 tells you
Not much on its own. For commercial-grade residential Whirlpool dryers, Product Help shows F22 and attaches a reset, but names no cause.
The reset, in plain terms
Cut power at the breaker (or unplug the dryer) and wait out a full 5 minutes. Restore power, start a time dry cycle, then keep watching the display for one minute to see if the code reappears.
If it reappears
A code that survives the reset is the point to schedule service rather than repeat the routine.
For a Whirlpool dryer in Los Angeles that still shows F22 after the reset, phone (310) 448-6692. Mention the model number and what you already did, and see our dryer repair page for the appliance overview.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
