What this code means

The dryer is not detecting the expected second line of supply voltage.

Most likely causes

  • A tripped breaker or blown fuse
  • A loose or miswired power cord
  • A damaged terminal block or home supply issue

Safe checks for the owner

  1. Reset both dryer breakers fully off and on.
  2. Stop use if the cord or terminal block looks burned.

Estimated U.S. repair cost

$120–$450, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
