Re: LG wash element

Presumably you have seen the old one? If it’s the 2000w 300mm one as commonly used on the eight year old machines then a 2100w Hotpoint WM heater fits perfectly and is 1/3 the price.

Re: LG wash element

havent taken it out to measure it, and
it has no connection for a thermister .
it has two yellow coloured connectors which i suspect have a thermal fuse fitted .
the pressure system was blocked and the heater was coming on when no water was in the tub.
now the heater is open circuit.
cheers.

Re: LG wash element

😕 The HPT part has a thermal fuse in the element, you just leave the ntc unconnected. The LG will have its own ntc elsewhere. Are these yellow wires additional to the normal heater connections? If they go to a thermal fuse, it should be that that is o/c not the element 😕

Re: LG wash element

no,the yellow colour is just on the end of the actual element terminals.
i wasn’t aware that the hotpoint element had a thermal fuse fited within the element terminals,so i will use one if i have too.
is it not possible to get a genuine LG element from any where?
thanks.

Re: LG wash element

Connect are the only reliable trade source I know of for LG parts. Seme were good but no longer much use. If you tap in “LG heater wash laundry” to connect’s search box it’ll give you some results to consider.
You could ring them or e-mail to get confirmation of fit.
