Make sure your exhaust duct work isn't kinked or restricted in some way. If it is, fix it. If you don't see anything disconnect the exhaust hose from the dryer, and run it. Check the air flow at the pipe at the back of the dryer. If you get the same error, you know the problem is in the dryer, if you feel air coming out of the pipe at the back of the dryer. If you get the error code, you have air coming out the pipe. You may have a bad Thermistor on the blower housing. No air coming out of pipe, and you hear the dryer run, maybe a bad blower wheel.

If this helped, please "ACCEPT" my answer.
