How I fix an error code on a LG wm2669hna washer that says TE error

te error is thermistor error. some models have 3 thermistors 2 on top and one at heater (bottom rear )

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/donald_a8261495ff0777e2

A tE error code on the display of the washer indicates a heating error, usually caused by a faulty thermistor.

1. Unplug the washer from the power outlet for 10 seconds.
2. Plug the washer back in and press the POWER button and then the SPIN SPEED button until No Spin is selected. Press the START/PAUSE button.
3. Once the washer has drained, restart the wash cycle.
4. If the tE error code appears again, close the water taps and unplug the washer. The washer will require repair service.

The TE error code is a Thermistor error. Replace the thermistor and you should be good to go.

The TE error code indicates a heating error, usually caused by a faulty thermistor. First, attempt to clear the error by unplugging the power cord, waiting for 10 seconds, restore the power, and restart the wash cycle. If the same problem happens again, close water tap, unplug the washer because the unit may require service.

Check in the next link the Service Manual for LG WM2277 Service Manual that could help you.

It means the THERMISTOR is faulty and most likely needs to be replaced. It's about a 7-10 dollar part, plus shipping. The problem is, you'll need to take the machine apart to replace. The best thing to do, is contact a professional for repairs.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

The te code means a defective thermistor. but thermistors rarely fail in LG washers.

The most likey cause of the "te" error is:

1) Loose wiring at the control panel (directly behind the CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB)
2) Broken wire at the THERMISTOR (located at the bottom /front of the tub)


Test the washer. If the "te" error still occurs--it will be neccesary to remove the FRONT PANEL as well (two sets of special plier-type tools are needed).

Inspect the THERMISTOR closely--with good lighting. If there's a break in the wire it will be at or near the black sheathing / heat shrink material.

LG Tromm Washing machine te error. The manual says to call for service. Not much help there. The reason for the error is the thermistor circuit (resistive element that becomes less resistive as it increases in temperature). The thermistor acts as a heat sensor. In many cases, the error occurs because the wireing harness is too tight at the bottom of the drum and one of the wires in this circuit becomes disconnected with all of the movement of the drum (unbalanced load, normal cylcing etc).

1. Unplug the washing machine from the wall. The thermistor circuit is at line voltage (110 in the U.S.) and it will bite! So do this first before proceeding.

2. Move the washer out so you can get access to the back of it.

3. Remove the stainless panel (the one that is not painted, it is large (aprox. 16x18 inches). It is held in place by 4 phillips screws.

4. Locate the thermistor connection block near the bottom of the machine, at the center of the wash drum. It is the small white connector that has two wires running to it. One wire is dark blue, the other is light blue. Insure that neither wire has pulled out of the connector. If either of them have, repair the connector and provide enough extra wire ( aprox. 2") to provide cable relief.

5. If the cable connector and wires are ok, there are other solutions here that recommend either cleaning or replacing the thermistor.

Good luck to you.

TE Error Code = Heating Error - Thermistor failure

Perhaps the error is "[-E" and it means the thermistor is out of error. Replacing it will correct the problem

ARE YOU SURE IT'S CODE IS TE AND NOT DE
DE IS PROBLEM WITH DOOR LOCK . TAKE THE WIRE OF THE DOOR SEAL AT FRONT . PUT YOUR HAND IN BY DOOR LOCK POSSIBLE THE PLUG HAS COME OF THE DOOR LOCK, IF NOT THE LOCK NEEDS REPLACING.
SWITCH APPLIANCE OF FIRST. GOOD LUCK
