LG Washer Lines and Features
What a LG Washer Technician Deals With
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 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
What LG Says to Check First
- Washer not spinning. LG says to check for an error code, spread the load evenly, make sure the washer is level, remove any coins or small objects from the drum, then run a Rinse & Spin test. Source: LG Help Library - Washing Machine Drum Not Spinning
- Washer odor. LG links odor mainly to detergent that does not dissolve and to lint or hair left in the gasket or drain pump filter, and says to clean the detergent dispenser first. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Troubleshooting: Odor Buildup
