How LG Washers Are Built
LG top loaders come in two wash-action styles: an impeller that rubs clothes against each other, and an agitator that moves clothes side to side and up and down. Source: LG - Top Load Washers

What LG Says to Check First
- Washer not filling. For the IE water supply code, LG says to open the taps fully, straighten kinked inlet hoses and clean the inlet filters. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List
- 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
Reading a LG Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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 |
| OE | Water is not draining or drains too slowly; check the drain hose and clean the drain pump filter. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List |

Around Richardson

Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
