There are 3 parts that can cause this error.
Before trying any of these turn electric and water off!
1. Remove the silver metal plate from the back of the machine, looking at the back on the left side just inside you will see a plastic chamber with a large black rubber hose attached and held in place with a holding loop. Loosen the holding clip screw and then pull the black rubber hose off of the chamber. Using your fingers feel inside the chamber and the rubber hose and remove any blockage such as lint build up. Carefully put the rubber hose back on to the chamber, then fully tighten the holding loop screw backup and finally put the rear metal panel back on. Once confirmed back together turn the water and electric back on and test.
2. Carefully undo the remaining water plug found behind the panel on the front bottom right corner of the machine making sure you a nice big towel of something that can absorb a lot of water. Once drained feel inside checking for any blockages. Once confirmed put the plug back in, turn the water and electric back on and test.
3. Remove the top panel from the machine, looking from the front of the machine on the right side you will see the heating unit, on the right of this between it and the side panel you will some 2 cables plugged into nodes on the heater. On one of these nodes in between the 2 cables there is a small black cylinder switch, push this in and you should feel a and hear a click. This small black switch is actually a trip switch for the heater and activates when the dryer is used to much and activates to stop the machine from over heating. Once confirmed put the lid back on, then turn the water and electric back on and test.
