The control board has detected an issue with the incoming power supply. For electric dryers, this requires 240V split-phase. Check the dryer outlet with a voltmeter — L1 to L2 should be 230-240V, each leg to neutral 115-120V. A tripped breaker on one leg results in 120V total. Check dryer power cord connections at the terminal block. Ensure the circuit breaker is a double-pole 30A breaker.
