What tE4 (Steam Thermistor Error) Means
tE4 indicates a Steam Thermistor Error, per LG's Styler Help Library error-code list - a fault with the sensor monitoring the temperature of the Styler's steam-generating system.

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
The unit will require a repair service, per LG's documentation.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- The steam-generating components are inside the Styler's water-heating system, not a homeowner-accessible part, and a faulted steam-temperature sensor means the unit can't safely confirm the steam cycle is operating within its intended range.
