Washer-dryer combo displays tE2; often associated with heater or high-limit thermostat issues in drying mode.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool fully. Heating components can remain hot for some time after use.

• 1. Inspect lint and airflow:
  • Clean the lint filter and internal ducts to prevent overheating.
• 2. Access heater assembly:
  • Remove the rear panel or top cover (model dependent).
  • Locate the dryer heater housing and attached thermostats.
• 3. Check thermostats and heater:
  • Use a multimeter to test continuity of the high-limit thermostat and thermal cutoff; replace if open.
  • Test the dryer heater element for continuity and shorts to ground; replace if shorted or open.
• 4. Inspect wiring:
  • Look for burnt connectors or melted insulation around the heater and thermostats.
  • Repair or replace damaged wiring harness sections.
• 5. Control board:
  • If all heater components test good, the main PCB may be misreading temperature or miscontrolling the heater; professional diagnosis is recommended.
