Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
'te' for an LG normally means 'heating error' (Temperature).
(It might be worthwhile trying this but sorry, no promises 1)
This could be that the element is coated in calcium. I suggest you run the contents of a couple of sachets of proprietary limescale removing powder/fluid through it. The most efficient way is to put the contents in an empty washer and pour a kettle or two of boiling water into the drum then leave overnight. In the morning run just a spin; the water mix will then go through the drain filter and drain motor impeller blades, doing absolutely NO harm whatsoever, in fact some good!
You could also consider repeating the action ;-0)

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Front load washer LG wm2140cw with error code up side down FE. Any ideas what this means? Will start to run then error code shows up and it stops.

A tE error code on the display of the washer indicates a heating error, usually caused by a faulty thermistor.
  1. Unplug the washer from the power outlet for 10 seconds.
  2. Plug the washer back in and press the POWER button and then the SPIN SPEED button until No Spin is selected. Press the START/PAUSE button.
  3. Once the washer has drained, restart the wash cycle.
  4. If the tE error code appears again, close the water taps and unplug the washer. The washer will require repair service.

I get a tE error code and the machine shuts down. What is it telling me? How do I troubleshoot and fix it?

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
???
LG's 'te' stands for 'thermostat (heating) error'.

One way of hopefully getting around the problem is first to ensure the washer is empty then pour the contents of a boiling kettle into it. That can sometimes kick the device into correct action. It's worth a try anyway before having to call in the repair man ;-0)

WASHING MACHINE DOES NOT GO ON

Check your display panel again- there is no such error code for the LG WD-3245RHD. You can have: "dE", "tE", "FE", "PE", "CE", "LE", or "dHE" but there is no "D5" error code.

tE error code means the thermistor has failed.  That part is located in the front of the drum next to the heater element.
