Product review (4 stars): WARNING: Find your model's service manual online FIRST!
Part arrived today, and looked exactly like the one I removed. Washer is up and running and no more tE code. I had reset this error a few times, and the orher day the reset trick no longer worked. So this should be a warning that failure will eventually happen.

I have a circa 2006 LG WM2016CW and all of the YouTube videos had me taking off the top, control unit, gasket and front. Total pain, and I did, BUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO DO!!!! The thermistor is on the BACK of my model. Had I found the service manual first, I would have saved hours. All I had to do was remove 4 screws on the back access plate, 1 screw that holds the thermistor cable to the tub, unplug and pull out. Then slide in the new one and put the harness clip back on, and put the access panel back. Probably 10-15 minutes of work. SO FIND YOUR SERVICE MANUAL ONLINE FIRST!!!!!
