LG Styler Code tE2: Compressor Thermistor

Medium · inspection needed

Code: tE2
Appliance: Styler
Brand: LG
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What tE2 means

tE2 on an LG Styler steam closet is a Comp Thermistor Error, which means the temperature sensor associated with the compressor is not reading normally. The closet watches the compressor temperature during drying, so a bad reading can stop a cycle or leave clothes damp. The display shows tE2 on S3RFBN and the rest of the Styler line, and repair service is the next step.

Common causes of tE2

The compressor thermistor reading
The wiring and plug for that sensor
The board input that reads the compressor temperature sensor
Whether the compressor is running at a normal temperature

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Write down the code and what the closet was doing when it appeared. 2. Check that nothing blocks the air around the closet. 3. Hold off on further cycles until we have checked it. 4. Call us to schedule a visit, since tE2 needs repair service.

! Why to stop there

We measure the sensor and the compressor circuit together, because a hot compressor and a bad sensor can both set this code.
The compressor is part of a sealed system, so we handle anything near it.
You see a written price before work, and our repair carries 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.

tE2tE2 questions

What does tE2 mean on an LG Styler?

It means Comp Thermistor Error. The temperature sensor tied to the compressor is not reading correctly, so the closet cannot watch the compressor the way it needs to.

Is tE2 a compressor failure?

Not necessarily. It points to the sensor circuit, which could be the sensor, its wiring or the board. We test before deciding on any repair.

Can I clear tE2 myself?

tE2 calls for repair service. Unplugging the closet will not correct a sensor reading, so we check the sensor, its wiring and the board input to find where the problem sits.
