CODE 3 Flashing Red Bottom LEDs Severity: High Difficulty: Intermediate

FlexStyle 3 Flashing Red LEDs

The unit's micro-controller unit (MCU) triggered a thermal protection lockout due to the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor reading chamber temperatures exceeding safety thresholds (>125°C), caused by obstructed inlet airflow, brushless DC (BLDC) motor stagnation, or an open/shorted thermal sensor circuit.

CODE Triple Flashing Red LEDs Severity: High Difficulty: Intermediate

Triple Flashing Red Thermal Shutdown

The unit enters thermal protection lockout, signaled by all three airflow or heat setting LEDs blinking red simultaneously. This indicates a high-temperature limit trip caused by severe intake airflow restriction, a clogged bottom mesh filter cage, an NTC thermistor fault (normal reading ~50k-100kΩ at 25°C), or BLDC motor overheating.
