Error Code tE1
Thermistor of blower housing — outlet thermistor open or shorted
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: tE1
How to Fix
- 1
Enter diagnostic test mode: Unit in standby, press Power + More Time + Less Time simultaneously for 0.5 sec, then press START/PAUSE.
- 2
If tE1 displays, disconnect power.
- 3
Locate the NA6 6-pin connector on the main PCB. Remove harness from thermistor assembly connector.
- 4
Measure resistance between thermistor terminals and compare to Table 1: at 50F(10C)=18.0kΩ, 60F(16C)=14.2kΩ, 70F(27C)=9.3kΩ, 80F(21C)=11.7kΩ, 90F(32C)=7.7kΩ, 100F(38C)=6.2kΩ, 110F(43C)=5.2kΩ, 120F(49C)=4.3kΩ, 130F(54C)=2.9kΩ, 140F(60C)=3.0kΩ, 150F(66C)=2.5kΩ, 160F(71C)=2.2kΩ.
- 5
If resistance is NOT in range: Replace thermistor.
- 6
If resistance IS in range: Short NA6 Pin 1 (Yellow) and Pin 4 (Blue/Orange) with metal wire to controller. If controller responds YES, check harness-linking connector. If NO, check that control and 6-pin connector are properly connected, then replace controller.
- 7
Check harness connector between PCB and thermistor for secure connection.
