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 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
Common LG Washer Problems
- Door won't lock. For the dE code, LG says to make sure no laundry is caught in the door or gasket and close the door firmly; a bent latch or torn gasket needs service. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
- 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
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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
