LG Washing Machine Error Code Reference

Your LG washing machine is equipped with an advanced error code system that helps you diagnose and troubleshoot various issues that may occur during the wash cycle. These error codes are displayed on the machine's control panel and can give you valuable insights into what might be causing the problem.

Below is a comprehensive list of the most common error codes you may encounter while using your LG washing machine, along with a brief explanation of each:

Error Code: UE

This error indicates an unbalanced load, which means the laundry is unevenly distributed inside the drum. To resolve this issue, try rearranging the laundry and ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Error Code: OE

The OE error signifies a drainage problem. It may indicate that the drain hose is clogged or that the pump filter is obstructed. Check these areas and remove any blockages to allow proper water flow.

Error Code: DE

The DE error code implies that the door is not properly closed. Make sure the door is tightly shut, and restart the wash cycle. If the problem persists, there may be an issue with the door latch or switch that needs professional attention.

Error Code: LE

LE indicates a motor issue, often caused by a heavy load or excessive friction between the drum and motor. Reduce the load size and avoid overloading the machine. If the error code persists, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.

Error Code: PE

If you encounter the PE error code, it means the water level sensor is malfunctioning. This can happen due to faulty wiring or a defective sensor. Contact an authorized service center to diagnose and resolve this issue.

Error Code: CE

CE indicates a communication problem between the control panel and the motor. The machine may not be able to receive or send signals properly. Check the wiring connections and if the issue persists, consult a professional technician for assistance.

Error Code: FE

The FE error code signifies excessive water intake, which could be due to a faulty water valve or a defective water level sensor. Inspect these parts and replace them if necessary. Seek professional help if required.
