Reduced airflow has been detected; a blocked or restricted vent is possible, but the light alone does not identify a failed component.

What it means

Reduced airflow has been detected; a blocked or restricted vent is possible, but the light alone does not identify a failed component.

This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.

Clean the lint filter and inspect accessible ducting and the outside hood for an obstruction.
After correcting the airflow path, run an automatic cycle and check whether the light turns off; seek service if it persists.
