Whoever answers (415) 223-7887 will want tE4, the Styler’s model number and a note of any attempts. Background on the work is under LG styler repair.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so tE4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
