Clean the lint filter because a

clogged lint filter can cause this
code. Check the exhaust vent
system for a clog or restriction
and clean system if blocked. If
the lint filter and exhaust vent
system are clear, unplug the
dryer and check the wire harness
connections between the
thermistor and the electronic

connections are okay, measure
the thermistor resistance using a
multimeter. You should measure
around 10,000 ohms of
resistance at room temperature.
Replace the thermistor if
resistance is off. If thermistor
resistance is okay and the wire
harness is intact, replace the
electronic control board

If you're attempting to start the

dryer with the door open, close
the door. If the door is closed
when the code appears, unplug
the dryer and check the wire
