Customer Question

I have a lg tromm steam washer model wm2487hwm that is giving me a repeated te error code- I can get it to work for 5 or 6 loads, then it returns. I did have a service person come out and they replaced the thermistor- except what was replaced was on the top of the machine, not anywhere near where the thermistor is??? I saw you answered this question for another user, and the manual is very helpful, but I think I have a newer model and I'm wondering if you have that one available? Thank you!

 

Optional Information:
Make: Lg tromm
Model: Wm2487hwm

The thermistor is by itself at the BOTTOM FRONT of the tub. It is easily seen by just looking up under the washer. It fits into a black rubber bushing and pulls right out. The wrong part was obviously replaced.MRANSWER40646.7968966435

I know the wrong part was replaced, have purchased the new one and hope to install it tonight. I am hoping you can help me to do it correctly so I have a functioning machine again! I have read there are two possible correct places for a thermistor- one being the back of the tub and one in the front right bottom corner under the tub.
