The symptom this code usually arrives with
A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.
-
Air first, then heat Dryer not heating
A dryer that runs cool, or one that stops with a heating code. On a condensation dryer, a blocked air path imitates a dead heating element closely enough that it is always checked first.
- Runs a full cycle, clothes still damp
- No warmth at all in the drum
- Stops early with a code
On the same appliance
What else belongs to the dryers
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.

What this one means
There is a problem in the heating circuit.
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- The heating element
- The safety devices around it
Worth doing before you call
- Note whether the drum turns and the cycle runs while producing no heat
Then what
The manufacturer's own guidance is that this one needs a technician, and we agree with it — a heating element and its cut-outs inside a sealed cabinet is not a home repair, and the failure modes are not forgiving.
This code is published for dryers. The full list of codes has the rest.
