Fix LG Dryer TE1 Error – Thermistor & Thermal Fuse Explained
This video covers how to diagnose and fix the TE1 error code on LG dryers. The TE1 fault is typically caused by a faulty thermistor, blown thermal fuse, or a larger airflow issue like a blocked vent line or failing heating element.
We walk through how to test the thermistor for proper resistance (around 10,000 ohms at room temperature), how to check continuity on the thermal fuse, and how a failing control board or poor ventilation can cause repeat failures.
Note: If the thermal fuse blows repeatedly or the TE1 code returns after resetting, the dryer may have a grounded heating element or a restricted exhaust system. Always inspect and correct airflow problems before replacing the same parts again.
This guide includes professional advice from real repair scenarios, including tips on using a telescopic inspection camera and the importance of booster fans in long vent runs. Follow these steps to get your LG dryer working again safely and reliably.
