If your Samsung Dryer is displaying the tS3 error code, you’re likely dealing with a temperature sensor issue. While this might sound serious, don’t panic—many homeowners are able to troubleshoot this error themselves. But if things get tricky, our local express repair team is ready to help with same day service, including a free service call with repair. Let’s walk through what the error means and how you might fix it.
The tS3 code is a temperature sensor error, indicating that the dryer’s internal sensor isn’t reading temperature levels correctly. This sensor helps regulate drying cycles and keeps your appliance operating safely. If it malfunctions, your dryer might:
The cause could range from a faulty sensor to a wiring problem or even a control board issue.
Before calling a technician, here are some steps you can try yourself:
Unplug your dryer for 5–10 minutes. This resets the system and can clear temporary glitches. Plug it back in and try running a short cycle.
Restricted airflow can trigger sensor errors. Clean out the lint trap and check the exhaust vent for clogs.
If you’re comfortable doing so, you can open the dryer and use a multimeter to check the resistance of the sensor. A healthy sensor typically reads between 10k–12k ohms at room temperature. If it’s way off, it might need replacing.
Sometimes it’s not the sensor but the wiring. Look for disconnected or frayed wires between the sensor and the control board.
If you’ve tried the steps above and your dryer still isn’t working properly, it’s time to bring in a pro. Electrical components can be delicate, and further DIY attempts might risk causing more damage or voiding your warranty.
