    The "tS"error code means thermistor short sensed. Unplug the dryer, and remove the thermistor from the dryer. Using and Ohm meter, test the thermistor. The thermistor at room temperature should read approximately 10k ohms. If it is far off from that, the sensor will need to be replaced. Once the bad sensor has been replaced, you will need to reset the code or else the TS code will continue to display. If the sensor checks out okay, then look for a short in the wiring, or you could also have a bad control board, or a clogged lint filter or dryer vent. Let me know what you find, and how the repair goes for you.

    Here is how to get into service mode to clear the TS code:


    • First, Enter Service Mode. Dryer must be on before Service Mode can be entered. Press Chime and Temperature Keys for 3 seconds, or until 3 beeps are heard. The machine will now be in Service Mode.
    • Next, access diagnostic codes by entering the Service Mode and pressing Wrinkle Prevent. A “d” will be displayed. Rotate the Cycle Selector Knob in either direction to step through the list of codes one code at a time.
    • Then, to clear the diagnostic code list press the Sensor Dry Level and Time keypads together for 3 seconds while viewing the list. The cycle count for each diagnostic code will be reset to 0, but not the machine cycle count.
    • Finally exit service mode by pressing the OFF key or repeat the Chime and Temperature sequence.



    This is the thermistor for your dryer:

    Thermistor - DC32-00007A
