What Does The Code Upside Down F0 Mean? Dryer Keeps Shutting Off.

My dryer will run for a few seconds and then shuts off. It has a code showing like an upside down F with an 0 beside it. The code is not in manual and I called Samsung they don't know. I also had a repairman out and he said to replace the control panel which we did and it is still doing the same thing. It will not stay on. Thanks, Frustrated
