Lg Washer Heating Element

This heater assembly warms the wash water inside the tub so the control can reach and maintain the selected temperature. Replacing a failed element restores proper heating performance and helps return cycle times to normal. What it does:

• Heats the water in the washer's tub during applicable cycles
• Helps the control reach and hold target temperatures for better cleaning
• Failure symptoms can include cold wash water, extended cycle times, and reduced cleaning performance
• Visual damage or an open circuit on the element indicates replacement is needed

• 1 heater assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• The heater mounts at the bottom of the outer tub; remove front or rear panels as required by your model to access it
• Note wire locations; loosen the center nut, press the stud to release the old seal, and carefully withdraw the element
• Seat the new gasket evenly, tighten the nut to compress the seal, then run a test cycle to check for leaks and proper heating

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.

This heater assembly restores consistent, controlled heat inside your appliance so cycles reach the correct temperature. Replacing a failed heating element assembly helps resolve no-heat complaints and performance issues that leave loads cold or extend run times.

• Generates the heat required during the appliance's heating phases so temperatures rise as intended
• Works with thermostats/sensors to achieve and maintain target temperature
• Typical symptoms: no heat, lukewarm operation, unusually long cycles, or heating-related error codes
• Often confirmed by an open element or out-of-range resistance in continuity tests

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Access the heater per the service documentation; photograph wiring and routing to aid reassembly
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging coils; transfer any brackets/sensors from the original if they are not supplied with the new part
• After installation, inspect and clear airflow or circulation paths and verify correct voltage before test operation
