LG Dryer tE1 Code: Thermistor Meaning and Safe Steps

LG dryer code tE1 is associated with a thermistor or temperature-sensing fault on applicable models. It is not a washer code. The exact meaning and service procedure depend on the dryer model; check the model manual for the correct code description.

Safe Steps

Stop the cycle and record the code. If the manual recommends a power reset, follow its instructions and allow the dryer to cool. Do not open the cabinet, test the thermistor, access wiring, or replace internal parts yourself.

If tE1 returns after the model-approved reset, arrange qualified dryer service. Provide the exact model number and code; a technician can test the temperature-sensing circuit using the appropriate service information.
