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

What LG Says to Check First
- Washer not draining. For the OE drain code, LG says to check the drain hose for kinks or clogs and then clean the drain pump filter. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List
- 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
What LG Washer Codes Mean
| 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 |
| FE | Too much water in the tub, which can come from oversudsing, a clogged level sensor hose or a clogged drain filter. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide |
| CL | Not a fault: child lock is on. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List |
