What tE1 means

tE1 on an LG Styler steam closet is listed as a Duct Out Thermistor Error. A thermistor is a temperature sensor, and the name tells you the closet cannot read the one for the duct outlet side normally. With tE1 showing, the closet may not manage drying temperature correctly and may end the cycle early. Models like the S3MFBN use this list, and the next step is repair service.

Common causes of tE1

  • The duct out thermistor reading
  • The wiring and plug for that thermistor
  • The input on the control board that reads the duct outlet sensor
  • Whether airflow through the duct is normal
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Note tE1 and the cycle that was running. 2. Check the closet has free space around it and its vents are not blocked. 3. Do not restart cycles over and over, since that will not clear the code. 4. Call us to schedule a visit, because repair service is needed.

! Why to stop there
  • The sensor position is only named in the list, so we measure its reading and find where it sits before judging it.
  • A wire or connector problem can set the same code as a failed sensor, and we test the circuit first.
  • The written price comes before any work, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

tE1tE1 questions
What does tE1 mean on a Styler?

Its name is Duct Out Thermistor Error. The closet cannot read the temperature sensor named for the duct outlet side, so it cannot control drying temperature as it should.

What is a thermistor?

It is a temperature sensor whose resistance changes with heat. The closet uses it to know how warm the air is and to control drying.

Is tE1 the same as tE3?

No. tE1 is the duct out thermistor and tE3 is the duct in thermistor. They are separate sensors, each with its own wiring and board input, and we test the one your display names.
