Don’t worry. This guide will walk you through what the code means, some basic troubleshooting steps you can try yourself, and when it’s time to call in fast, local experts for same-day help.
The tE2 error shows up when your dryer’s temperature sensor (thermistor) detects abnormal temperatures or fails to report them properly. This might be caused by:

Before you call for help, try these quick steps to see if you can fix the issue yourself:

Remove the back panel and locate the temperature sensor, usually near the blower housing. Look for:
Gently reconnect or clean any visible wiring if you’re comfortable doing so.
Overheating can trigger sensor issues. Make sure your lint trap is clean, and check your vent hose for clogs or blockages. Poor airflow is a common culprit behind overheating.
Plug the unit back in and start a normal drying cycle. If the tE2 error disappears, your fix may have worked.
