Samsung Dryer tS Error — Temperature Sensor

Samsung Dryer · Error code tS

What tS Means

tS is a temperature error — the dryer detected an abnormal temperature-sensor reading.

Symptoms

  • Dryer stops or runs cool/hot
  • tS on the display

Common Causes

1
Clogged lint screen or vent

Restricted airflow skews the temperature reading — clean the screen and full vent first.

2
Failed thermistor

The temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed or its wiring is faulty.

How to Fix It

  1. Clean the lint screen and the entire exhaust vent.
  2. If tS returns with a clear vent, test the thermistor and replace it if out of spec.
