Washer Motor Rotor Position Sensor Assembly (LG OEM)

Description

LG Washer Water Temperature Sensor (Thermistor)

Ensure your laundry is washed at the perfect temperature with this Genuine OEM Thermistor Assembly. This high-precision sensor monitors the water temperature inside the tub and communicates directly with the control board to regulate the heater or water inlet valves. If your washer is overheating, not getting hot enough, or displaying temperature-related error codes (like tE), this sensor is the most common fix.

Manufactured by LG Electronics, this part is engineered to provide exact resistance readings, ensuring your delicate fabrics aren’t damaged by excessive heat and your whites get the hot water they need.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Genuine part designed specifically for LG washing machines.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves “tE” error codes, inconsistent water temperatures, and cycles that won’t advance due to heating errors.

• Precision: High-sensitivity thermistor for accurate thermal monitoring.

• Install: Mid-level repair. The sensor is typically located near the heating element or the bottom of the outer tub. Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before beginning.

Pro Tip: To confirm if the thermistor is faulty, you can test it with a multimeter set to ohms. A functioning thermistor will show a specific resistance value that changes as the temperature rises or falls. If it shows “open” (no continuity) or a constant value regardless of temperature, it must be replaced.

Maintenance Note: While replacing this sensor, check the surrounding wire harness for any signs of corrosion or fraying, as the high vibration of the wash tub can sometimes cause electrical connections to loosen over time.
