Common LG Washer Problems
- Washer leaking. LG suggests first confirming the leak is from the washer, then checking the door area and an overfilled or residue-clogged detergent dispenser. Source: LG Help Library - LG Front Load Washing Machine Troubleshooting: Leaks
- 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
