Coding and The Machine won't start.
I'm new to the forum and I'm trying to help my daughter get her LG Tromm washing working again. It's a front loader model WM2277HW. It can start but only runs for less than a minute and then it codes but the code doesn't make sense, I added the picture of the code below. So far my grandson has replaced the rotor position sensor but still isn't running. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
LG WM2277HW stops within a minute and shows unclear error code
- The problem
- LG Tromm front-loading washing machine WM2277HW starts but stops in under a minute and displays a code that the owner could not clearly identify from the panel image. The rotor position sensor had already been replaced, but the fault remained.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply suggested the displayed code was likely 'tE', indicating a thermistor or heating element fault. It was also noted that error codes are only a guide and can sometimes point to wiring or connection issues rather than a specific failed part.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was documented. The strongest supported diagnosis was to treat the fault as a likely 'tE' error and investigate the thermistor, heating element and related connections. Exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Observed that the machine would start and then stop in less than a minute
- Error code display was compared and thought likely to be 'tE'
- Rotor position sensor was replaced before posting, with no improvement
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Rotor position sensor
- Thermistor
- Heating element
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It could be supposed to be "te". If so that means "thermistor or element fault"
The problem with error codes is they are just a guide for engineers to know where to start looking and testing and never really tell you exactly which part to replace. They can even be wrong too, or turn out to be connection faults.
