Error Code tE

Heating Error — thermistor out of order

What This Means

Heater connector broken or loose (steam generator heater or wash heater); Heater resistance out of range (should be 12-18 Ohm); Thermistor connector broken or loose; Thermistor resistance out of range (should be approximately 39.5 kOhm at 30°C); Water leaked into thermistor connector

How to Fix

1. 1

   Confirm tE error is displayed.

2. 2

   Check heater connector (steam generator heater and wash heater) for damage or looseness — reconnect or repair.

3. 3

   Check heater resistance (should be 12-18 Ohm). If out of range, replace Heater Assembly.

4. 4

   Check thermistor connector (steam generator thermistor and wash thermistor) for damage or looseness — reconnect or repair.

5. 5

   Check thermistor resistance: should be approximately 39.5 kOhm at 30°C. If out of range, replace Thermistor Assembly.

6. 6

   Check for water in thermistor connector — replace Thermistor Assembly if water present.

7. 7

   Note: control board failure for thermistor circuit is rare; sensing parts are only resistors and capacitors.
