Error Code tC

Your dryer's temperature sensor isn't reading correctly

Moderate

Address soon - your appliance may not work properly

Also displayed as: tC

What This Means

Clogged case filter restricting airflow and causing abnormal temperature readings; Thermistor 1 resistance out of range (open or shorted); Damaged or disconnected thermistor wiring

What actually causes this:

Usually a clogged lint screen or blocked exhaust vent — restricted airflow causes the sensor to misread temperatures.

First Thing to Check

Pull out the lint screen and clean off all the lint, then check that your exhaust vent hose isn't kinked or blocked.
