Kelly February 20, 2020 for Model Number 79641072311 I have Kenmore elite front loader with the tE code. I have replaced the thermistor and the main control board. The front control panel also. The dash lights up and shows the tE. I am not able to dial any settings. I just get beeping. All of the connects look tight. I cannot see any damaged wires. I am at a loss as to what it might be. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you
1 Answer Kelly, Check the wiring of the thermistor as it may be damaged. If it is then the main wire harness would need to be replaced. Read More...
Joseph February 17, 2020 for Model Number WM3050CW Will this fit my machine if not witch one do I need
1 Answer Joseph, Based on the information provided the thermistor for your model is a part of the heater assembly part # AEG33121501 Read More...
Mheartkk August 27, 2019 for Model Number WM2101HW My LG front loader had the TE error. I watched your very helpful video and ordered the heating sensor. i replaced it. It worked perfectly for a bit and is now showing the TE error again. So now I see that it could be the thermistor assembly. So I placed that in the cart and it actually shows that you can purchase them together - the heating sensor and the thermistor assy. But when I used the compatibility tool to scheck if the part matches my machine- it states that it doesn't match. Is the thermistor assemby AP4445159 compatible with LG WM2101HW? Should I purchase it? Thank you.
1 Answer mheartkk, With that error in the display, it is telling you that the thermistor is out of range. Check connector 1 pins 2 and 3 for 2.5 to 180k ohms. Outside of that reading would be to change the thermistor 6322FR2046C Read More...
Dave July 26, 2019 for Model Number LG 2050CW I have a broken wire from wire harness to thermistor. Looking for a two pin female plastic connector, pig tail that I can splice into existing wire harness. What is the connector type by name and wire size?
1 Answer Hello Dave, unfortunately, the manufacturer has not supplied that information if you will repost your question with the complete model number we will be able to find the washer's wire harness that the thermistor connects to. Read More...
Kb July 07, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore 41262 Kenmore 41262 front load washer, and we’re getting the te error code. The washer would work here and there, but after a month or two it now seems dead—code all the time. Trying the thermistor from what we’ve seen—can’t confirm part though—is it this? Try something else? Thanks!
1 Answer KB, unfortunately, the model number that was provided appears to be a partial number. If the full model number from the units model tag could be provided, this will ensure the most accurate information can be presented. Read More...
Deborah June 07, 2019 for Model Number WM0532HW Machine is filling with cold, then boiling, then cold on permanent press cycle even on cold/cold cycle. Would that be the thermistor? If so, can it be fixed from the bottom rather than taking top and front off?
1 Answer Deborah, Since your hot water valve is a single component it is most likely that you have your hoses reversed on the back of your unit. I would check that before ordering any parts. Read More...
Peter February 02, 2019 for Model Number WM2233HW I was getting an intermittent te error. I replaced the thermistor and heater and now getting full time te code. Next steps? If the control board is suspect, how do I test?
1 Answer Peter, you will want to check to ensure that the thermistor is seated all the way into the tub. From there, you will want to check the wiring running from the thermistor to the control for any breaks or continuity issues. Then you will want to go to connection 1 on the main pcb and test pins 2 and 3 for a resistance reading of 2.5 to 180k ohms. If this all checks good, then the main pcb [EBR32268004] is the issue. However, if the main pcb is the issue, it is no longer manufactured and is unavailable. Read More...
Keith January 02, 2019 for Model Number WM2487HRM I'm receiving the tE fault code intermittently during operation. Strange thing is that when I put the system into diagnostic mode, the heater/thermistor test did not produce a fault code. The machine showed that the drum was heating to 20-21 C (which I believe is normal). Does this lead you to believe that the error is with the thermistor and not the heating unit? I have not opened it up to look for frayed wires yet. Thanks for your help!
1 Answer Keith, This issue would most likely be caused by the the wiring to the thermistor or a faulty thermistor itself. Read More...
John G. November 29, 2018 for Model Number WM2250CW I need a wire connector for the thermistor wires - it does not seem to be a part of any of the wire harnesses available for the model. It is a two wire connector that has blue and white wires connected to it.
1 Answer Hello John, I'm sorry but there is no connector for the thermistor. It will need to be connected with crimp connectors or small wire nuts. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Robert October 24, 2018 for Model Number WM3370HWA LG washer model WM3370HWA Absolutely no power. Removed control board, no glowing red diode to inform me the board is functional. Supposedly the fuse on control blew, but it is not dark it is still white with a blue dot in middle of it. This washer has steam option but I do not see it Is it a small plastic tank or something? The tub heater element reading is normal at room temp 65-70 F Ohm is 14.5 Continuance is 014 I performed the calculations using an Ohm app. The app is right in line with the readings. Heater element thermister: I started at the lowest level on my dial, "20," however, the very first reading was up at 200k with a result of 053. This does not seem right for some reason to me because all the videos that I viewed had thermisters testing out at up to 20k with much lower reading results. The thermister is at same room temp as the element. My testers dial selections are as follows: 20 2000 20k 200k***** this one 2000k The story pre malfunction. I used the hot water in the storage tank that day to wash dishes. At same time I had "warm" wash temp selected. Water in tank not hot enough. Heater coil turned on in machine. Strange electric burning smell emitted from washer when the coil turned turned on. Wash cycle finished. House guest selected "sanitize" wash cycle. Smell emitting from machine is much stronger in this mode. Cycle is switched back to warm temp, instead of sanitize, to prevent potential machine electrical fire. Cycle finished. Next cycle "warm" temp selected again. Water in house tank not warm enough, heater turns on, again. Strange electric odor returns. Washer ceases functioning goes dark in mid cycle. Not a light on the front control panel. No more electrical burning odor emitting from machine. *How many thermisters does this model have, since it is a steam option machine? I see no extra tank behind the dispenser compartment for any water storage. *How many fuses are in the machine? I count 2, 1 at noise filter, 1 on main control board. *How many pumps does this model have? The electric diagram shows that the fuse on control board is only meant for the tub heater assembly, nothing else. Is this true, or does all power to the entire board have to go through fuse first, so any part could have caused this power issue? The steel tub is firm inside the housing not loose and wobbly so no spider failure. Thanks for your advice, Robert
1 Answer Robert, Test the fuse on the control board to see if it has continuity and if it does not then the fuse is bad and would need to replace the control board. Also for this issue check to make sure that there is 120 vac going into the main control board. If there is power in but nothing going out then this would be a faulty main control board and need replaced. Read More...
