tE

On a Kenmore washer, the error code "tE" typically indicates a thermistor error. The thermistor is a sensor that monitors the water temperature inside the washer. A tE error signifies the control board is not receiving a proper signal from the thermistor, which could be due to a malfunctioning thermistor or a loose connection.

Here's what a tE error might mean:

  • Faulty thermistor - The thermistor itself might be malfunctioning and sending incorrect temperature readings to the control board.
  • Loose connection - The wires connecting the thermistor to the control board might be loose or damaged, preventing a proper signal from being sent.

How to troubleshoot the tE error on your Kenmore washer

Important safety precaution - Before attempting any troubleshooting steps, unplug the washer from the power outlet to avoid any electrical hazards.

  • Consult your user manual - Your Kenmore washer's user manual might have specific troubleshooting steps or diagnostics for the tE error code. It can also guide you on locating the thermistor on your particular model.
  • Inspect the thermistor connection - If you're comfortable doing so, visually inspect the thermistor connection for any loose wires or damage. Refer to your user manual for proper disassembly instructions to access the thermistor.
  • Consider professional help - Unless you're comfortable troubleshooting appliance components, it's advisable to contact a qualified appliance repair technician. They can diagnose the exact cause of the tE error (faulty thermistor or loose connection) and recommend the appropriate solution, which might involve replacing the thermistor or repairing the connection.
