LG Dryer Error Code: tE1, tE2, tE3

LG Dryers are equipped with advanced sensors and error code systems to help you troubleshoot and resolve issues efficiently. In this article, we’ll explore the tE1, tE2, and tE3 error codes, which all relate to problems with the dryer’s thermistor. Understanding these error codes and their solutions will enable you to keep your LG Dryer running smoothly and efficiently.

tE1 Error Code:

A tE1 error code on your LG Dryer’s display is an indication of a problem detected with the dryer’s thermistor. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Perform a Factory Reset: Begin by unplugging the LG Dryer from the electrical outlet or tripping the circuit breaker to ensure it’s without power.
  2. Reset the Dryer: While the dryer is powered off, press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 5 seconds.
  3. Restore Power: After performing the factory reset, restore power to the dryer by plugging it back in or resetting the circuit breaker.
  4. Test the Dryer: Try running a cycle on the dryer to check if the tE1 error code has been resolved.

If the tE1 error code persists after performing the factory reset, it may indicate a more complex issue with the thermistor or another part of the dryer. In such cases, it’s advisable to contact LG customer support or a certified appliance technician for a professional diagnosis and repair.

tE2 Error Code:

A tE2 error code on your LG Dryer’s display is also related to a problem with the dryer’s thermistor, specifically occurring during certain cycles. Here’s how to address it:

  1. Select SteamFresh Cycle: If the tE2 error code appears during the SteamFresh, Steam Sanitary, or Steam Option cycles, start by powering on the dryer.
  2. Adjust Settings: Select the SteamFresh cycle and press the MORE TIME button until “Big” is displayed on the screen.
  3. Start the Cycle: Press the START button to initiate the cycle.
  4. Observe Operation: Monitor the dryer during the cycle to ensure that the tE2 error code does not reappear.

If the tE2 error code occurs again after resetting the dryer, it may still require professional service to address the underlying issue.

tE3 Error Code:

The tE3 error code is yet another indication of a problem with the dryer’s thermistor. To resolve it, follow the same steps as for the tE1 error code:

  1. Perform a Factory Reset: Unplug the LG Dryer from the electrical outlet or trip the circuit breaker to disconnect power.
  2. Reset the Dryer: While the dryer is without power, press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 5 seconds.
  3. Restore Power: After the factory reset, restore power to the dryer by plugging it back in or resetting the circuit breaker.
  4. Test the Dryer: Try running a cycle on the dryer to check if the tE3 error code has been resolved.

If the tE3 error code persists, it’s advisable to contact LG customer support or a certified appliance technician for a professional diagnosis and repair, as there may be an underlying issue with the thermistor or other components.
