If I remember correctly that means the thermistor is shorted or open on a Kenmore elite model. You can take off that bottom front panel and should find the tech sheet which will inform you what the code means.. The thermistor is located behind the lower panel, then behind that black duct which 1/4 inch screws hold it in. Remember to take the lint screen out before duct can be removed fully. Then once duct is removed you'll see 4 wires connected to 2 different thermostats. White one is thermal fuse and the black one on the right is the thermistor. Unplug power or shut off breaker before going any further. Hope this helps
