Error Code tE1

Outlet thermistor (blower housing) open or shorted — Temperature sensor error 1. Displayed during drying cycle or test mode.

Also displayed as: tE1

What This Means

Outlet thermistor open or shorted; Harness connector at NA6 pin loose or disconnected; Defective main PCB

How to Fix

1. 1

   Enter diagnostic test mode: unit in standby, press Power, then press More Time and Less Time simultaneously for 0.5 seconds

2. 2

   Press START/PAUSE once to advance to thermistor check step

3. 3

   Turn off power and disconnect dryer before measuring resistance

4. 4

   Remove NA6 connector from the controller

5. 5

   Short pin 2 (Blue Wire) and pin 3 (Orange Wire) of the NA6 connector together with a metal jumper

6. 6

   If controller shows no error with pins shorted: check that NA6 connector and 6-pin harness are properly connected to controller; if OK, replace controller

7. 7

   If short test does not clear fault: separate harness from thermistor assembly connector and measure resistance between thermistor terminals

8. 8

   Compare measured resistance to Table 1 values: at 50°F (10°C) expect 18.0 kΩ, at 70°F (21°C) expect 11.7 kΩ, at 90°F (32°C) expect 7.7 kΩ, at 104°F (40°C) expect 6.2 kΩ

9. 9

   If resistance is out of range, replace thermistor assembly

10. 10

    If resistance is in range, check and reseat harness-linking connector between thermistor and controller
