tE Errors

Thus the dryer may potentially under heat and fail to dry properly, or overheat and become a fire hazard. For error codes tE1 and tE2, the Kenmore Elite manual recommends that owners turn the dryer off and call for servicing.

PS Error

The PS error code appears only on electric Kenmore dryers and does not apply to gas dryers.
