Error code tE5
Appliance Dryer
Quick answer

tE5, listed on Samsung's UK page as tC5/tE5, is a compressor temperature sensor problem.

Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so tE5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Compressor temperature sensor problem.

Heat-pump Samsung dryers use tE5 for a problem with the compressor temperature sensor. The UK page pairs it with tC5 in one row.

What the UK page tells owners

  1. Give the dryer two to three minutes, then switch the power on and begin again.
  2. Examine the lint screen, which may be clogged.
  3. Examine the vent system, which may be restricted.

A code that remains is one for a Samsung service centre.

Related codes

  • tCA – compressor limit temperature sensor error.
  • tS, tC, tE – temperature errors in general.
  • tC7 – temperature sensor error.
