F3 usually means a sensor failure, and the H could mean the humidity sensor is the culprit.

There should also be a very helpful "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel. It's very helpful when troubleshooting.

Basic disassembly on this is as follows:

1. Unplug it from the outlet.

2. Remove any screws and unlatch any tabs in the vent grille.

3. Pull up and/or out to remove the grille.

4. Remove the screw now revealed at the top of the control panel assembly.

5. Lift up and/or swing down the control panel assembly.

6. Retrieve the aforementioned mini-manual.

7. Use the mini-manual to check the sensors.

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: Appliance Parts From PartSelect | Repair Parts For Major Appliances.
