TE Error Code on an LG Washing Machine
Homeowners once relied on the knowledge and expertise of an appliance technician to fix their malfunctioning washing machines. With advances in technology, however, LG washing machines now utilize error codes to tell the consumer exactly what the problem is. This not only lets homeowners diagnose problems themselves, but in the case of the TE error code, it even lets consumers fix it themselves. Does this Spark an idea?

Error Code Display

Error codes for LG washers appear on the front control panel of the unit. In the event that your washing machine malfunctions, the error code appears in the form of two or three letters that light up on the machine's LCD screen.
"TE" Error
-
A washing machine heating error is signified with the error code "TE." The most common cause of this problem is a malfunctioning thermistor within the washing machine itself. A thermistor is an electrical resistor that measures the current temperature of the machine.
