🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

The unit will require a repair service, per LG's documentation; request a repair or use LG's chat support rather than attempting to access the compressor area yourself.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • The compressor and its thermistor are sealed-system components similar to a small refrigeration unit - not a homeowner-accessible or homeowner-repairable part.
  • A compressor that can't be temperature-monitored correctly risks running outside its safe operating range, which can shorten its life if used repeatedly while faulted.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FAQ

tE2 (Comp Thermistor Error) FAQ

Yes - LG's Styler uses a small heat-pump-style compressor as part of its steam and drying system, similar in concept to (though smaller than) the one in a refrigerator or heat-pump dryer.

Not a safety emergency, but avoid running cycles until it's repaired, since the compressor's operation can't be properly monitored with this sensor faulted.
