Samsung Range Error Code ts

The ts error code on a Samsung range stands for top sensor short error. It means the control system has detected a short condition in the top temperature sensor circuit. The cause can be a faulty sensor, damaged wiring, or a defective touch PCB assembly. The range will typically stop operating normally until the fault is diagnosed and repaired.

It is not recommended to continue using the range while the ts error is active. A shorted temperature sensor means the control system cannot accurately monitor heat levels in the cooking area, which could lead to uncontrolled temperatures. The range should be powered off until the fault is properly diagnosed and repaired.

Repair costs vary depending on which component is faulty. Replacing a top temperature sensor typically runs in the range of $20 to $80 for the part. A touch PCB assembly is a more expensive component, with parts generally ranging from $100 to $250 or more. Adding professional labor will increase the total cost of the repair.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by inspecting the wiring harness for visible damage and checking that the connector at CN03 is fully seated. Measuring the top sensor resistance and comparing it to the resistance chart is the key diagnostic step. If the sensor or wiring is faulty, replacing those components is straightforward, but replacing the touch PCB assembly is a more involved repair that some may prefer to leave to a technician.

Resetting the range by cutting power at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the ts error, but it will return if the underlying fault is not corrected. The short condition in the sensor circuit, wiring, or PCB must be identified and resolved. A reset alone is not a repair and should not be relied on as a solution.
