Problem: Thermistor short circuit—Neptune series alternate display for tS code
How to Fix Dryer Error
- Unplug Neptune dryer and remove front lower panel to access blower housing.
- Locate thermistor WP35001191 mounted on air inlet duct.
- Disconnect wiring harness and measure resistance with multimeter—short circuit indicated by reading below 500 ohms (normal: 10k-12k ohms at room temp).
- Remove mounting screw and extract faulty thermistor.
- Install new thermistor WP35001191 ensuring proper seating in mounting hole with sensor tip facing airflow.
- Reconnect wiring harness securely.
- To clear t5 code: press and hold SENSOR DRY LEVEL and TIME buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until display resets to normal.
- Power on dryer and select any cycle—error should not return.
- Run test cycle monitoring drying performance—cycle should terminate appropriately based on load moisture content.
- If t5 returns after replacement, inspect wiring harness for short circuit between thermistor and control board—repair or replace harness as needed.
