E5 code what this means on Amana dryer? - Amana Dryers

SOURCE: I have replaced the thermistor

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

I'll start by saying your post indicates it is a Amana dryer, (as you may or may not know this model is built by Samsung) and it is displaying a e5 error (actually looks like a e5 error, but it is indeed t5 but that's because of the digital display)...it is actually a "temperature sensor" error, hence the "ts".

As described in the service manual from Maytag...

"tS" Dryer Thermistor Short Sensed - The Thermistor resistance is very low.

Check for:

Clogged lint screen. (remove and wash under hot water & mild soap...a old toothbrush works well for scrubbing)

Restricted vent system.
Check Thermistor resistance...10000 ohms @ 77°F/25°C
If you've replaced the thermistor already, that leaves either poor air flow due to clogged lint screen or clogged exhaust somewhere else along the line. Here's what I would suggest you try. Remove the lint filter (clean it as mentioned above) and unfasten the vent from the back/side of the dryer, whatever the case on your machine. Run it through a cycle without a load and post back with the results.

I can send you the service manual if you think it may help you move forward,(It says Maytag, but those are Amana/Samsung as well) but you'd need to provide an email address for me to attach it to. It is a "pdf" and 9.9mb in size.

I'll watch for your reply.
