LG Tromm TE1 Code

[Gareth]

I have an LG DLE6977S TROMM dryer that stopped working a while back, it would turn on, then turn off after a few seconds. No code or anything, just kept turning off. I talked to a Sears repair tech and he told me to change the thermistor. I changed it and it immediately started working again...for about 5 minutes, then I got the TE1 code, tempreture error. Apparantly this is fixed by changing the thermistor, but I already did that. Does the dryer store codes or something?? The dryer will work for about 5 seconds then I get TE1 and it stops. Before I changed the thermistor it would just turn off and not give me any codes. Is there anything I can do to fix this damn dryer?? Its driving me nuts!!

TE1 says thermister open I would check the wires from the board to thermister

Gary make sure the wires are on the thermister; if so, try another thermister.
