Graham A May 27, 2013 for Model Number WM-16220FD What should the resistance be of the thermister for the LG WM-16220-fd?
1 Answer Graham, The resistance value when checking at the main control board should be between 2.5K and 180K ohms and if not then replace the thermistor. Read More...
Angela H May 25, 2013 for Model Number WM2277HB Hello, We have an LG WM2277HB washer that is getting error tE on the display. The wire going to the thermistor is broken at the connector. I'm not sure what wire is needed for replacement? It only has two wires, one light blue & one dark blue. I don't see any replacement parts that only have two wires?
1 Answer Angela, If the wire that is broken is the opposite side of the connector that the thermistor is located on then you would need the Multi harness 6877ER1044G. Read More...
Nicole W April 15, 2013 for Model Number WM265OH Hi, I have a frontload LG washer, 6 month old. My question is do they have a thermostat, and if so, what temperatures do the the different setting cold, warm and hot correspond to?
1 Answer Nicole, The unit has a thermistor that will read the temperature of the water and turn the heater on as necessary for what the temperature is set for. Read More...
Sally December 11, 2012 for Model Number LG Tromm WM2688HWM Thank you for responding to my question yesterday but it leads to me to another question. You said I could possibly access the thermistor by taking the bellow off the door opening. What is the bellow and how would I remove it?
1 Answer Hello Sally. The bellow is the grey boot inside the door. There is a clamp around the lip of the bellow. You remove the clamp to remove the bellow and access the thermistor. Read More...
Sally December 10, 2012 for Model Number LG Tromm WM2688HWM Is there any way I can access this part without disassembling the cabinet? I think I read somewhere that someone was able to turn the machine on its side and was able to access the thermistor from underneath. ?? If this is possible, it seems a lot easier than taking apart the cabinet and gasket, which makes me nervous. If not possible, do I need any special tools to do disassemble and reassemble the cabinet? It seems like a complicated process from the instructions in the service manual so would appreciate some input and tips. I don't want to take it apart and create another problem. Thanks in advance. my warranty just expired only a week ago so hoping not to have to call a serviceman out here. :(
1 Answer Hello Sally, The only way to access thermistor is from the front. You could try to access by taking the bellow off the door opening and accessing that way but if unable to do this then you would have to disassembly unit. Read More...

George F. June 04, 2012 for Model Number LG TROMM WM2496HSM / Front loaded washer / The the code keeps tripping, even though we run cold water. The code is often tripped with heavier loads or extra water setting. Is this the Thermistor? Can you provide a diagram or video for replacing? Once replaced, does the computer need to be reset? If so how is this accomplished? Thanks! George
1 Answer Hi George. Disconnect the thermistor part # 6322FR2046C wires and use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. There's an issue with the thermistor, heater or wiring. You can test the circuits at the heater assembly with a multimeter. the thermistor should have a resistance of 10 to 30 ohms resistance at room temperature and the heater should have a resistance of 10 to 30 ohms resistance as well. If all's OK, check the wiring harness and the resistance at the control board,The heater/thermistor AEG33121501 is located on the front lower portion of the spin tub and you can access it by removing the front panel and top. So it would be easiest to conduct the tests at the main control board 6871ER1104A when you remove the top. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. Thank You. Read More...

Blake Nielsen November 30, 2011 for Model Number WM2688HWM I Get the TE error and believe it is the thermistor. I have no idea where it is so I can replace it. Can you help???
1 Answer Hello Blake. The thermistor assembly 6322FR2046C is located in the front of the outer tub assembly, under the heater. Here is a link to the diagram page. It is number K310 in the diagram. Use this to help you locate the part in the washer. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5520794&diagram_id=28702755 Read More...
