LG Dryer tE2 Error Code
What it means
tE2 is a thermistor-related condition that can occur in very cold weather or when cold outside air enters through the exhaust vent during a steam cycle.
Try this first
- Clean the lint filter and make sure the exhaust vent is not blocked by lint, snow, ice, or frost.
- Check that exterior louvers or flaps close properly so cold air does not flow back into the dryer.
- Warm the dryer by running it empty on another cycle for a few minutes, or use the Steam Fresh cycle as directed by LG.
- If tE2 continues, arrange service.
