The code resets when the shorted thermistor issue is addressed. The thermistor is replaced therefore it is definitely not the issue now. The short circuit therefore lies either in the thermistor wire harness or the main control board terminals. Check it by measuring the
resistance between the wires of the thermistor wire harness with a multimeter. Set the multimeter to
its lowest Ohm scale setting (R X 1). If there's indeed a short circuit condition,
recheck the resistance between the wires at the main control board side. Replace the wire harness should it confirm a short circuit
condition. Otherwise, check the resistance between Pin #2 and Pin #6 of
connector CN6 on the main control board. Replace the main control board if a short circuit is found.
Here is the picture/diagram of the main control board for your reference.

Hi
The error is describing a tS code. It is
an indication that the thermistor is shorted. The thermistor is the temperature
sensing device used on this dryer. Before replacing the thermistor check for a
clogged lint screen or dirty vent pipe.If these are clear and you are still
getting the code the thermistor would need replaced, the resistance of the
thermistor should be about 10K ohms at room temperature.
The
thermistor is located on the blower housing in front of the motor.
Thanks for contacting fixya.com
Please do get back to us for further
query.
tS = Dryer Thermistor Short Sensed
{The Thermistor resistance is very low}.
Check for:
- Clogged lint screen.
- Restricted vent system.
- Check Thermistor resistance.
- Check for diagnostic code 1
The thermistor is item 50 this link: PN 35001191

The thermistor has to be shorted to the chassis to get this code.
