The Washer Heater Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for LG washing machines. It provides heated water to wash cycles, helping activate detergents and release tough soils for deeper cleaning.
Causes of a faulty heater assembly typically include cracks in the heater element from chemical exposure or thermal expansion/contraction cycles over time. Electrical connections can corrode from mineral deposits.
Symptoms of a bad heater assembly include:
- Inability to select hot water cycles
- Slow or incomplete activation of detergents
- Reduced cleaning performance on heavily soiled loads
- Error codes indicating temperature sensor problems
This OEM LG part is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore washers.
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
My lg washer was displaying te error code Diane S. • Vancleave , MS • May 13, 2014
I looked online ans read where the tE error code meant the thermistor was bad. I then found a video on YouTube showing how to replace the part. On AppliancePartsPros.com I chatted with a technician that told me the thermistor on my particular model was built into the heater unit and he gave me the link to purchase it. After it arrived via FedEx I followed the repair video and installed it myself (I'm a girl). So far I have run about a half dozen loads and no problems! Thank you so much...
