What tE5 means

tE5 on an LG Styler steam closet is listed as an EVA In Thermistor Error. EVA stands for the evaporator, the part of the cooling circuit that pulls moisture from the air in the closet. The thermistor on its inlet side is not reading normally, so drying may be weak or the cycle may stop. The display shows tE5 on the Styler line, including the S3RFBN, and the next step is repair service.

Common causes of tE5

  • The evaporator inlet thermistor reading
  • The sensor wiring and its plug at the control
  • The board input for the evaporator inlet sensor
  • Frost or restricted airflow at the evaporator
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Note tE5 and the cycle that was running. 2. Check that the closet has clear space around it and the door seals fully. 3. Do not restart cycles repeatedly in hopes of clearing it. 4. Call us to schedule a visit, because tE5 needs repair service.

! Why to stop there
  • We read the sensor against the actual temperature, because tE5 can come from the sensor, its wiring or the board.
  • We also look at airflow around the evaporator, since a blocked path can affect the readings.
  • We quote in writing first, and the repair is covered by our 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.

tE5tE5 questions
What does tE5 mean on a Styler?

It is an EVA In Thermistor Error. The temperature sensor on the evaporator inlet is not reading normally, so drying may be weak or the cycle may stop early.

What is the evaporator in a Styler?

It is part of the cooling circuit that removes moisture from the air during drying. The sensor tells the closet how that part is running, and the control relies on it.

Is tE5 something I can fix at home?

Repair service is the next step for tE5. You can check the clearance around the closet, but the sensor itself needs testing on site by a technician with the right tools.
