LG Washing Machine Displaying Fault Code tE

A faulty temperature sensor, needs replacing.

Testimonial: "Thank You! I ordered from the link and it got here early. Replaced the Thermistor with the help of your videos. I've been trying to read a diagram of the washer. Can you please tell me which part plugs into the Thermistor? After taking the washer apart I saw a very lose almost broken wire on the part that plugs into the Thermistor. Thank You so Much"

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.

    If your LG washer is getting the FE error code, there is usually one reason why the FE fault code will display. The FE error code on the LG washer display is indicating a water overflow issue. This means the WATER INLET VALVE may not be shutting off the flow of water and therefore the DRAIN PUMP is running constantly.

    An LE error code on the washer's display indicates that the motor is locked, possibly due to a heavy wash load. Large and heavy sized loads will put a strain on the motor, causing the LE code to occur. Performing a reset on the washer will normally resolve this error with a reduced load size

Why on an LG Front loader does the FE code come on and not on Rinse & Spin?

Here is the LG site for washing machine error codes, you can scroll down and find the FE code there:
http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000010-20150140270078-other-error-codes

The site shows the following:

The FE error code indicates the washer is overfilling. This is usually the result of a faulty water valve.

1. Close both water taps.

2. In order to drain out any trapped water, power the washer back on and press the Spin Speed button until No Spin is selected and press the Start/Pause button.

3. Once the washer has drained, restart the wash cycle.

LG front load washing machine WM2233H Error code is FE

I found this information on the internet. I hope that it helps.
" Getting fe code on lg washer.
"This means that the washer is overflowing. This is a built in fault that turns on the drain pump so that the water doesn't get so high that it gets into the floor. If water is continually flowing into the washer you will get this problem. If this is the case the water valve is most likely the problem. To confirm unplug the washer and if the water doesn't stop flowing into the washer the water valve is the problem.

Thank you,
Shawn"

I hope that this helps you out

I have a LG washer model WM2487 H*M suddendly water started coming out from underneath and also the front panel shows a light saying FE....I read that means something about is due the faulty water...

FE = Fill Error. Not a faulty water valve in your case. (FE codes if it takes too long to fill the machine, but if the water is leaking out, the valve is not the problem, the leak is) If you take the back cover off, you might be able to see where the water is comming from. Possibly the black rubber hose from the tub to the pump has a leak.
