What this code means

The dryer detected an abnormal AC power frequency or a fault in the circuit that measures it.

Most likely causes

  • Generator, inverter or utility power outside the dryer specification
  • An unstable electrical supply
  • A damaged power-sensing circuit on the main control

Safe checks for the owner

  1. Stop the dryer and confirm it is connected to a normal household branch circuit.
  2. Avoid operating it from an unapproved generator, converter or extension cord.
  3. Have the supply checked if other appliances are also behaving abnormally.

Estimated U.S. repair cost

$320–$650, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
