Bought Dryer 2 years ago and just recently, last week, used for second home and getting error code on display tE1, thermistor open. What and where is the thermistor? Can it be replaced?

Below are some solutions that other customers have cited. The control board seems to have a glitch in it, so I would take it back and get a replacement. New product is covered by a factory warranty or a dealer replacement guarantee.
My husband and I just BARELY bought an LG Electric Dryer. I'ts model #DLE2516W. As soon as you hit the power button, "check filter" comes on. The right after that, the error code "Te1" flashes and it does nothing but beep. Clearly, the filter has NOTHING in it because I've never run a load of clothes thru it. When I look in the troubleshooting section of the owners manual, it tells me that this means that the thermistor is open and needs to be replaced. But I'm confused as to why a BRAND NEW dryer already needs a part replaced. Can ANYONE please help me. I have lots of laundry to do. Haha!

Well... we took it back to Home Depot and they are replacing it. i was trying to fix it because it takes 3 weeks to get a new one. They don't have any in stock!! And it takes 3 darn weeks to get a new one.
I am sorry, I missed,(or forgot), that it was 2 yrs.old. If the dryer worked ok the last time you used it, then I would think that a power surge may be responsible for the failure. I would disconnect it from the power supply for 10 minutes and power it back up to see if a static discharge helped. If not, then the control board may need to be replaced. Part no.1359831.
