What Makes LG Washer Repairs Different
LG top load washers use a direct drive motor rather than a belt-driven design. Source: LG - Top Load Washers
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
- 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 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
What LG Washer Codes Mean
