I found that one of the wires that go to the thermistor sensor plastic clip had come loose (bad crimp job from the factory). Soldered that up, reinstalled everything and problem fixed. This video did head me in the right direction so Thanks!
This works on LG wm3270cw thermistor for washing machine. Same exact process . Super easy . Parts was $22 shipped from sears parts online. Thank you soo much for the video. Repair company wanted $250 to install and told me to research and get the part for them. Took me 10 mins.
You are a life leaver. Thank you so much for this video! I almost tore my whole washer apart thinking that thermistor was at the top of the tub. And your tips about the zip tie and the rubber seal saved me a lot of extra work and frustration!
Thank you! You saved me a lot of disassembly/reassembly time. In all the other videos for this particular repair, they remove the top, the control panel , the seals and finally the front panel & door. Just like you, I simply tilted ours against the wall and had a friend hold it. The total repair time was about 3 minutes. Thank you many times over!
Thank you very much for posting! I was able to follow your instructions and repair my LG front loading washer with a new Thermistor I ordered from Amazon. Voila! back in Biz!
Thanks Rep my washer. Best tip was tilting the washer in the side. Found after my wiggle test a broken wire next to the thermistor connector, due to the vibration.
I just pulled it out , and saw the sensor (thin rod) with a ring of what appears to be rust? so I cleaned it with my thumb, after a few rubs, the smudge came off and I re-installed it; no more beeping!
I'm not a technician, but the way I fixed mine is by putting some conductive jelly into the wiring harness, snapped it back together and then zip-tied it back together. The problem with mine is all the vibration was causing a poor connection. The zip ties fixed it. I recommend trying that first before replacing the thermistor.
Thank you after a hr of random useless videos I finally fell upon yours, exact issue I'm experiencing oddly only use cold to wash thought kids were putting it on wrong cycle until it did to me so off to Amazon to order a newbie TStat. 😅 a washer is always a full load and full of water when they go nutty but never an emergency drain button 🤦♀️
The zip tie mounting the connector to the drum caused all my code alerts be because it caused all of the flexing to happen where the wire enters the connector. I resoldered that point and omitted the zip tie. Now no stress happens where the wiring enters the white connector.
Thanks for the video, Nutty! I have the exact same washer and it just started throwing that same tE thermistor code as well. Great and inexpensive repair! Glad you showed us that you can access the parts in question from the bottom -that saved a lot of time and effort/lost screws! I was wondering if you checked your old thermistor's resistance reading with an ohm meter? I checked mine and it reads @ 55k ohms at room temp (cold basement), and then when I heat it up to body temp, it steadily goes down in resistance to about 26k ohms. If it was bad, I would expect that the reading would show either a direct short (0 ohms) or read open (or extremely high resistance) -or at least be erratic in it's ohmic reading. I did find and remove some calcium/mineral scale build-up on half of the tip of the probe, but I doubt that there was enough there to affect the reading. From watching a bunch of videos and reading the many comments on this error code, I've come to think that the problem is more often related to connectivity issues to the thermistor, rather than the actual probe failing. I think that due to repetitive vibrations that occur when the drum spins and agitates, the connections to the this sensor become intermittent, and in some cases, break altogether. It's very important to secure the wire harness using wire-ties, and to inspect the thermistor's wire harness connector by opening it up and looking at the terminals inside. They may have vibrated loose, backed themselves out of the body of the connector, or broken off entirely inside, depending on how bad and how long the washer has been punishing the connector. Another thing I'm wondering based on the comments on other videos is if there could be a build up of hair/lint/etc in the area around the heating element and thermister? I don't know if anyone has looked into that, but it makes sense that if there is too much debris in there that the sensor/element would not work as designed. I put my machine back together with the original thermistor and ran 4 loads without it erroring out. So far, so good. If it fails again, I'm going to look into cleaning out the cavities where the thermistor and element are mounted. If anyone has already done this, please add on to this reply. Thanks again, N.C.!
Hi David, I didn't bother testing the old thermistor, I have read that they go bad with age. I was happy that it was such an easy/cheap fix. My wife was shopping for a new washer so it saved a few bucks. The build up is a good thought, perhaps removing and reinstalling it is enough to loosen it up a little? If it gives me another problem i'll try that process first! (remove and reinstall). Anyway, thanks for the comment, wishing you many more washes before you hear that dreaded error beeping again!
@@nutty-cool UPDATE: So far, so good! Now that I think about it, I think that the thermistor may not have been pushed into place as far as after my cleaning and re-install. Perhaps after years of vibrations and cycles of washes, it had vibrated enough to back itself out to the point that not enough of the sensor was exposed to the water and combined with the mineral build-up, it couldn't read temp changes quick enough for the algorithm? In any case, it's been put through its paces since last week and has been running flawlessly in all the different modes.
@@djimjam3779 Awesome, I love it when you can fix something like that by just a wiggle or reinstall. I hope that it gives you many years of trouble free service, if not you now know how easy it is to replace :)
According to another video, a "good" one should be about 11KΩ, and anything vastly lower or higher indicates a failure or impending failure. Sadly, I didn't have the forethought to test my new one, but the old one was 40K at room temp, and was failing intermittently.
Man, that error noise scares me. My grandmas LG tromm is fussy with the door being slammed so it throws an error sometimes and it scares the crap outta me.
Hi Lorena, I picked up the part from amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M0YLU76/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Notice that some in the comments have reported being able to just pull the sensor and clean it. If I was to do this "repair" again I would try that first, but the part isn't expensive luckily. Good luck!
sorry I want to ask, my washing machine again is the wdp type 1410 brd error tE too, I have replaced it with a new thermistor but it still has an error, how do I fix it, please help. Thank you.

omg, there's an access hole under the washer! This was the only video I found that noted that. That just made the thermistor replacement trivial.
thanks for the video. one of my wires came loose from the terminal. fixed it and saved 300 bucks!

Awesome! Yeah, I wonder if I could have just cleaned mine, I bought the replacement first thing though.
You saved me big money Nutty, thank you!
Love it, way to go Steve!
thanks very much.....this worked. 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. $12. Fixed! Happy, happy, happy!
Awesome Tom, sucks when you get an error code on an appliance like this, great when there is an easy fix!

Thanks buddy very helpful

I wonder what you do after you replace the entire heating element with the new thermistor attached and you still get the te error?
Great video! But my thermistor must be located elsewhere. It’s the darnest thing. Any idea where else it may be located on of machines?
Gracias me sirvió mucho
Model?
Please, can you write to me the name of the part, and does this method work with the Samsung washing machine?
Thanks very helpful
Man, that error noise scares me. My grandmas LG tromm is fussy with the door being slammed so it throws an error sometimes and it scares the crap outta me.
thanks
Hello I have the same washing machine with the same problem where you recommend me to buy the sensor
Hi Lorena, I picked up the part from amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M0YLU76/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

sorry I want to ask, my washing machine again is the wdp type 1410 brd error tE too, I have replaced it with a new thermistor but it still has an error, how do I fix it, please help. Thank you.
Me too!
I replaced the element and now getting the tE error code
@@Parnz07 check the wires to the plastic terminal connectors.
This is the set I have . Do you know the year it was made ?
Hmm, I don't see a date on any of the stickers, i'm thinking that I purchased them in 08/09 or sometime around that point.
сзади же есть крышка для ревизии
You need enough lighting for your presentation. I can't see anything.
Bien
Problems with the machine
Can you do a full wash of this machine? I used to own a wm2487hwm and forgot everything about it.
👍
Don't be fooled people . There are two thermistors on an LG washer , one up top and this one down below !!!
Mine has that bottom shelf I'm gonna have to remove to get to this access point. Total nightmare.
