Errors issued by the LG washing machine

Electronic and mechanical components of the Korean washing machine LG are strong enough and reliable. Failures in them occur no more often than in other devices. In the event of malfunctions, the display of the device displays error codes conditionally distributed into three categories:

• water;
• mechanical;
• heating.

Water

FE erroroccurs when the water in the tank rises above the maximum mark. In cars, ljs without a screen in this case, the signs blink or flash simultaneously:

• pre and main wash;
• synthetics, wool and duvet.

This error can be solved on their own if it is caused by an abundance of foam due to washing of porous fabrics, poor powder, overload of linen. Water is drained, the laundry is taken out and the washing machine is left to dry for at least 24 hours. If this error is continuously drained and water is collected, then it is required replace its supply valve.

IE codemeans that the machine does not get water in standard time. In a device without a screen, the main and prewash signs glow or blink.

Independently rectify the situation as follows:

1. Turn on the water if it is turned off or blocked.
2. Strengthen the water pressure if it is insufficient.
3. Fully open the shut-off valve if it is closed.
4. Straighten the inlet hose.
5. Clean the filter screen at the end of the hose.

If this error does not draw water, then change the valve of its supply and purge the tube pressostator change it.

OE Error Code for a lg washing machine it means that it did not drain the water within the prescribed period (5-8 minutes). This code is also called 03 because of the similarity of the characters.

In the case of devices without a display, in this case, the indicators light up or flash synchronously:

• rinsing;
• Spinning (800, 500, Nospin).

Starting to correct error 03, drain the water and remove the laundry. If necessary, straighten the drain hose or clean it, and along with the pump filter. If draining occurs through a sink siphon or a dedicated pipe, check and if necessary, remove the blockage.

If at error 03 Washer:

1. Do not drain: clean the drain pump or replace it.
2. After stopping and subsequent manual drainage, the water does not collect: you need to flush the pressostat tube or replace it.

E1 codedenotes water leak. The washing machine is disconnected from the network and the integrity of the tank, nozzles, drain hoses and the leakage sensor are checked.

PE codedisplayed when no water pressure is detected. In models without a screen, the wash, rinse and spin indicators light up or flash in sync.

Most often faulty pressure switch, which measures the volume of water in the drum. It is required to blow his pipe or replace it.

If the device collects and immediately drains water, then you need to connect it to the sewage system so that the drain is higher than the tank. Among other possible causes, the pressure in the water pipe is too low or too high.

Mechanical

DE erroroccurs when the manhole cover is not tightly closed. First of all, open and close the hatch. If it does not help, then remove items that interfere with the closure, including from the lock hole. If the cover is twisted, adjust the hinges.

If this error occurs, the following elements will need to be replaced in the event of a breakdown:

• hatch locking device;
• a pen;
• a loop.

LE codecorresponds to lock error. Open and close the hatch cover. If the code appears during the spin cycle with a delicate wash, lay out a piece of laundry. To get an object blocking the rotation of the drum, take it apart. Also, the code occurs at low voltage in the network.

If this error:

1. The drum does not rotate: it is required to replace the Hall sensor in the tachogenerator, the stator or the motor.
2. The hatch cover is not blocked: change the lock device, handle, lock.

SE code is displayed when the motor shaft is not rotating and does not spin the drum. Users also call it code 5E because of the similarity of writing 5 and S. Error 5E is characteristic of washing LG direct drive machines or belt drive and three-phase motor.

If the 5E is due to a fault in the Hall sensor, replace the resistor from its circuit. In other cases, an error 5E requires replacement of the motor.

CE errormeans engine overload. If it occurs during washing or spinning, you should stop the machine, remove some of the laundry and restart it. In some cases, put a new Hall sensor. If the code is displayed at the beginning of the wash, replace the motor stator. If at the same time the car makes a noise - change bearing and gland.

UE codeoccurs when drum balancing is violated.In models without a display, they blink or shine synchronously:

• spin indicators;
• LEDs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

In this case, the weight of the laundry in the car is adjusted to the norm by the number of kg and distribute things evenly without lumps and knots, and the car is placed exactly. If this did not help, you will need to replace one of the following parts:

• the bearing and epiploons (at noise);
• Hall sensor;
• drive belt (if the machine is not accelerated);

Heating

TE codeshows that water does not heat up. In devices without a screen, the temperature indicators light up or flash synchronously. Replace one of the following items:

• TEN;
• temperature sensor;
• Drying sensor (if there is such an option).

At HE erroralso change the heater.

General

Malfunctions in any washing machineLG may result from software failure. Then the device is turned off for 10-20 minutes. If this does not help, it is advised to “solder” the tracks and change the burned-out parts (relay, triac) on the board control unit or replace it.

If the error appears and disappears immediately, you should twist and isolate the broken wires by shrinking.
