tE
Defective thermistor (temperature sensor)
- Issue:
- Clean the lint filter because a clogged lint filter can cause this code. Check the exhaust vent system for a clog or restriction and clean system if blocked. If the lint filter and exhaust vent system are clear, unplug the dryer and check the wire harness connections between the thermistor and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, measure the thermistor resistance using a multimeter. You should measure around 10,000 ohms of resistance at room temperature. Replace the thermistor if resistance is off. If thermistor resistance is okay and the wire harness is intact, replace the electronic control board.

Unplug the dryer and check the wire harness connections between the electronic control board and the heater. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. For an electric dryer, check the heating element for damage and replace if broken. For a gas dryer, have a technician check and repair the heating system.
