What this code means

  • The touch panel or display board is shorted
  • A connector or main-control input is faulty

Safe checks for the owner

  1. Turn the dryer off and press and release each button individually.
  2. Wipe the panel with a barely damp cloth, then dry it fully.
  3. Disconnect power for several minutes and retry without holding any buttons.
