You decided to wash things, closed the door, but then the te error appeared on the indicator, and your washer went into a stupor. Or the washing machine pumped water, turned the drum and stopped after 5-10 minutes when it started to wash, showing the same thing. Error tE is usually found on all washing machines, indiscriminately.
If you have an old-fashioned Samsung washing machine, then it will pay attention with the ability to display. The temperature LEDs “BIO 60 °C” and “60 °C” will light up, and the washing mode indicators will light up.
Frequent errors on Samsung and error decoding
In addition to all of the above, it can also show the code tE1 / tE2 / tE3. These problems are only for washing machines with a dryer, and it shows after spinning, before the drying option.

te errors in the Samsung washing machine let you know that there are problems with the thermal sensor. Your technique “does not show” it at all, or it receives the wrong data. For he "does not know" how and what.
In theory, the error code te is a temperature sensor error. Error ec - a copy of te for Samsung equipment, the old year of manufacture. Error information te notifies when the voltage of the temperature indicator is less than 0.2 V for more than 4.5 V.
Draw attention!
Samsung with the ability to dry, in addition to the problem with water tE, has problems with other thermal sensors - tE1, tE2, tE3. Notifying about problems with drying indicators, being at any moment of the drying mode.
- tE1 sounds dry temperature sensor error, the unit receives an emergency message or the thermistor "shows" the wrong data.
- tE2 indicates a malfunction of the fan housing sensor, does not urgently notify or the temperatures are very high.
- tE3 indicates an error in the condensate flow sensor, which is during drying. Giving out through - a daring temperature or does not say anything at all.
Home variety! The te error shows immediately when the washing machine is turned on or at the first stage of washing before heating the water. Codes tE1 / tE2 / tE3 are shown only at the end of washing and spinning, before or during drying.
According to the experience of service specialists, the code EU / tE / tc / tE1 / tE2 / tE3 usually talks about problems with washing machines, only in rare cases is it possible to change something yourself.
Error te / tc / ec / tE1 / tE2 / tE3 - in which cases can you fix it yourself:
- Sometimes it happens, the error is thrown randomly, any device is capable of “lag”. It is possible to fix it by “rebooting” by reconnecting the washing machine using an outlet. First of all, turn off the washing machine, then remove the plug from the socket. Wait a while with a cup of coffee, then put everything back and restart the washing machine. If this was an ordinary "lag", then nothing else should happen.
- Bad connection of contacts. There is an option that the contacts of the temperature sensor or heating element may have disconnected, this happens if the washing machine was dragged to another place, for example, when moving. Pull the wiring contacts, make them stronger, as if you are pushing something very far with difficulty. If a breaking was in this version, then the washing machine will definitely work.
- Malfunction of the display of sensors. It happens that the sensors lie, that the temperature of the controlled nodes is too high. On individual sensors in washing machines, you can reset the readings. If the error was in this, after the repair everything will be fine.
Common problems to fix:
| The first signs of an error | Probable cause of occurrence | Repair or replacement | Price (spare parts + work of the master) |
Samsung washing machine:
|
Usually the cause is a problem. thermistor temperature meter liquids in the washing machine. | You may need to change the sensor.
Usually it is not so easy to change it, so it remains only to change the heating element. |
from 2450 to 4950 rubles |
| The Samsung washing machine, when washed in certain modes, does not heat the water and shows a te malfunction after 5-15 minutes of washing starts. Then everything stops. | Out of order (TEN). | If necessary, change the heating element to another working one. | from 3100 to 4950 rubles. |
| Samsung machine:
|
Does not show signs of life leading element of the washing machine. | If the master module is broken, then the connection is made by soldering the contacts, that is, you just need to fix the board.
If after that nothing works, you need to change the entire control module. |
Repair - from 3400 to 5000 rub. Replace - from $65. |
| As soon as the washing machine is turned on, the hatch stops, but it immediately shows the te error, and the washing machine stops working .. | The wiring connecting the heating element with the thermistor and the control module is damaged or the wires are burnt at the junctions.
In private residences, mice can be a problem. |
It is necessary to twist the broken wiring or change the cable with guts as much as possible.
If there is a problem with the contacts, for work, you need to completely change the wires. |
from 1450 to 2950 rubles. |
| Samsung machine notifies te error:
|
Drying heater sensor is uncontrollable. | If the sensor is separate, then it simply needs to be changed .. If the sensor is part of the drying heating unit, then without a choice, you will have to completely change the heating element. | from 2450 to 69$ |
| The machine reports a te error after a few minutes as soon as the drying starts and immediately stops. | The temperature indicator of the fan case does not function. Usually the problem with this is short-term shorting in the element. | You may need to replace the fan housing thermistor. | |
| After the start of drying, after a few minutes, everything turns off showing the error te | The drain sensor is damaged. | The condensate flow thermistor needs to be replaced. | |
| After you have switched on the washing machine, after a moment the error te is displayed and the selected washing option is terminated. | The wiring is broken, and maybe the contacts are indicators of the drying temperature, the fan, or maybe the condensate flow. Sensors are blind to monitored nodes or do not show data to the control module.
The contacts are broken due to high humidity if the washing machine does not dry or does not dry well. Cutting wires is possible with mice if the equipment is installed by private traders or in the basement of the house. |
It is necessary to twist the problematic part of the wiring or completely change them.
If there is a problem with the contacts, it is necessary to partially clean them, if it does not help, then change them completely. |
from $14 to $29. |
