The tE error code on your LG F954N42IXRS generally indicates a heating or temperature sensor issue in the hot water circuit.
Although the PDF of this manual does not specifically detail this code, this error is common on LG washing machines and usually signals:
- A faulty temperature sensor - The thermostat no longer correctly detects the water temperature
- A damaged heating element - The component that heats the water is no longer functioning
- An electrical or wiring issue - Loose or damaged connections in the heating circuit
Initial steps:
- Turn off and unplug the machine for 10 minutes, then plug it back in to reset the electronics
- Check that all electrical connections are secure
- Restart a wash cycle to see if the error reappears
If the tE error persists after these steps, the sensor or heating element will likely need to be replaced by a technician or specialized repair person.
