What Makes LG Washer Repairs Different
LG washers read the water level with a level sensor connected by a hose, and a clogged sensor hose or oversudsing can cause overfill or sensor codes. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
On LG front loaders the drain pump filter sits behind a service panel in the lower left corner and must be drained and unscrewed to clean. Source: LG Help Library - LG Front Load Washer Maintenance
Common LG Washer Problems
- Door won't lock. For the dE code, LG says to make sure no laundry is caught in the door or gasket and close the door firmly; a bent latch or torn gasket needs service. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
- Off balance, shaking. For the UE code, LG says to redistribute the load evenly, avoid overfilling the drum, and make sure the washer is level. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
Reading a LG Washer Error Code
