What this one means
The fan that moves air through the zeolite chamber has stopped. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- The fan motor
- Its wiring
Then what
Same symptom as the heater above and a different part — which is why the code matters more than the wet plate does.
