Sometimes owners complain about the situation: the machine has filled the required volume of water and started to work. The drum began to rotateAnd everything, it would seem, goes according to plan. But after a while, the machine suddenly interrupts and signals a te error on its display. It turns out that the hatch cover is not heated even a bit, although it has been programmed to wash in very hot water. hot water.
For some reason, for some owners, the two letters that appear on the machine display, "t" and "e", appear as an inverted designation of a large "F". Not all LG machines are equipped with a special screen. If your machine does not have one, you can find out about this malfunction differently - all the unit's lights start blinking or on at the same time.
Lg error te- occurred in the water heating system
What does this mean? What does the smart device want to tell you? The tE (literal translation of Temperature Error) icon indicates that there is an error in the heating order.
The device is not able to heat the water to the right indicators, so the work process is interrupted, and shows an error te.
Important to know the following! Other commands for which heating is not necessary, the machine can perform quite well.
Therefore, in the case of the above error, if there is a dire need to complete the washing, you can set the mode for cold water. The machine can handle it.
Error tE: Can you fix it yourself?
You can try to disconnect the machine from the mains for about a minute, then reconnect the machine and try to start a work cycle. If the problem was an accidental failure in the electronic controller (control module), this "glitch" may disappear after disconnecting the power supply.- The quality of the wiring between the unit's control module and the heating element.. Occasionally, it happens that the wires are slightly loose: this is enough to cause a problem. Ensuring a tight connection will eliminate the malfunction.
Which faults may require repair?
This table describes possible malfunctions that can cause the lg machine to go into error te, which only a qualified technician can fix..
The list of faults is compiled according to the experience of the repair shop.
| How the error appears | Possible cause of error | Necessary actions (replacement or repair) | Cost of the service (parts and labor) |
| Unit malfunctions, does not heat water, does not wash, error tE | The most common cause of malfunction is a breakage of the heating element (heating element), with which the device heats water. In 80% of the cases of such malfunctions occurs due to this reason | The heating element needs to be replaced | 3100 – 50$ |
| Device displays tE code and refuses to wash. This error usually occurs after the beginning of the washing process. | The reason is a malfunction in the microchip, which is part of the control module of the machine. This is a kind of the brain of the machine | The control unit in many cases can be repaired. Most often in this unit break down elements that control the operation of the heating element (transistor, triac, relay). They will have to be replaced. | Replacement ranges from $5600 to $66,
Repair from $3100 to $41. |
| Washing process which had started suddenly stops. It turns out that the water in the drum is cold. Machine displays error on monitor. | Breakdown of the temperature sensor or thermistor. This element is located in the tank of the machine or on the heating element, and serves to measure the temperature in the machine drum. | Will require replacement of faulty sensor. | From $3,000 to $46. |
| In LG machines that have a drying mode, the indicated error tE can appear both in the washing mode and during the drying operation. The machine interrupts the program by itself. | The drying sensor which controls the temperature during the laundry has malfunctioned. | The sensor will have to be replaced. | From $3,000 to $46. |
| The appliance, the mode of which is set to washing with heating, either works properly, or interrupts the process and shows an error. | The wiring inside the machine is worn out, which connects the control module with the heating coil. When the machine is running, there are vibrations that cause the contact to break. The unit displays an error. | It will be necessary to replace the entire loop with a new one, but it is possible to twist the damaged wires. In this case, it will be necessary to insulate the place of repair well. | Price is $14,900 to $30. |
The price listed is In the full version, it is made up of the cost of work and the price of the component parts. It can vary slightly depending on the unit model and the results of the diagnostics. The exact final cost is determined by the employee .
