It is not always clear to the user what the error tE shown on the screen means. Before giving an error, the washer starts normally, starts washing, but in the process it “freezes” and writes the code. This indicates a problem with heating.
Any problems in the LG washing machine are indicated by a malfunction code that is lit on the display. Models of washers without a screen inform about the problem by glowing (blinking) of all temperature indicators.
How to decrypt an error
Please note that on some JJ cars, the tE error code is similar to FE. The user can take the small “t” for the inverted “F”. There is nothing wrong with this, but you must understand what the fault code means, so it is important to read it correctly.
The error value tE for the LG washing machine is as follows: an error or a malfunction with the heating circuit.
A characteristic symptom of a malfunction is that the SM does not heat water. If you touch the glass of the hatch during operation, you will feel its cold.
It's important to know! When the system shows the error tE on the display, and you urgently need to wash, set the program for washing in cold water. As a rule, all other modes, except for heating water, work properly.
However, this does not mean that you can let things go by themselves. You will learn how to fix the error and fix the breakdown without leaving home.
DIY help
What measures to take to clear the error:
- Reboot There is a failure in the control board, to eliminate which you need to disconnect the washer from the network. Wait 10-20 minutes, then turn it on again. If the code no longer lights up - everything is in order.
- Verification Error code tE in LG SMA may be displayed due to a connection failure between the heater and the control module. You need to check the wiring, connectors connectors. If the contacts are loose, pull them back into place.
What to do if I can’t remove the error? You need to inspect the details of the Lji washing machine (LG), the malfunction of which may be indicated by certain signs.
Home Repair
Solving the problem yourself is not always possible, but worth a try.
Failure of the heater
What signs indicate a malfunction of the electric heater:
- The machine erases in cold water, stops in the middle of the program.
- The code tE is on the display.
In this case, 80% of failures occur in a tubular electric heater (TEN), it is he who is responsible for heating the water. Only installing a new, healthy item will help.
Problems with the control unit
The washing machine worked as usual, but after starting work it stopped and threw an error tE. Since the module is responsible for all processes in the SMA, when it breaks down, the parts do not receive a signal for action and operation. Therefore, you need to get the control unit, inspect the board at the time of damage.
If you are sure that you can repair the board, proceed. If the module is defective, an element must be replaced.
Faulty temperature sensor (thermistor)
The temperature sensor is responsible for measuring the temperature of the water. Therefore, when it malfunctions, the water in the LG machine does not heat up, the system slows down the wash and gives an error tE.
How to make a replacement:
Drying sensor problems
The drying sensor monitors the temperature while drying clothes. Therefore, the error code can be displayed both at the washing stage and during drying (if this program is provided in the washing machine). In this case, the work of the SM is interrupted.
What can be done:
- Power off the LG washer, remove the top cover and the bracket under it.
- Disconnect the door cuff and connectors on the heating chamber.
- Unscrew the bolts and open the heating chamber.
- You will immediately see the sensor. Remove it and install a new part.
