What Makes LG Washer Repairs Different
The door must lock before a cycle runs, and a door lock sensor, missing door magnet, bent latch or laundry caught in the gasket can trigger the dE code. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
LG Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
Reading a LG Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| UE | The load is unbalanced; redistribute the clothes, and top loaders will try to rebalance on their own a few times. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List |
| LE | The motor is overloaded or locked and cannot turn the drum, often from overloading, back-to-back cycles or a trapped object. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide |
| CE | Motor over-current or a damaged motor control component; LG says this needs service if a power reset does not clear it. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide |
