Still getting TE Error Code after Replacing Heat Sensor

I've had TE error code on my WM 3270C. I replaced the heat sensor (old one had a 10 OHM reading on the multimeter (the new one had a 60), so I thought it was going to work... but still getting the code. My repairman had earlier said it was control panel, and I replaced that too before I did a web search on what to do about TE code. So now I'm several hundred dollars in this on parts and don't wnat to throw in the towel. Next steps?

I don't know what the resistance should be, but 60Ω sounds too low. I think a normal value at room temp might be 6kΩ, then go lower at higher temps. If you can't find the Ω value, I would start by connecting a 6kΩ resistor in place of the heat sensor and see what happens.

It would be surprising if a new one was bad, but it does happen. Or maybe it isn't the correct part. But 60Ω is still too low IMHO.
