When your LG washer displays an unknown code on the screen, don’t freak out. These error codes are designed to give you a quick idea of the potential problem and whether you can fix it by yourself or call a technician. Let’s translate the main ones:

1. IE – Water Inlet Error

What it means: It suggests that the washing machine is not supplying the proper amount of water within the required time.

Common causes:

Water taps that are either closed or only partially open.

A hose that is kinked or clogged at the point of water intake.

For this problem, be sure to check the water pipe and hose. If there is truly nothing wrong with the way, the inlet valve must be replaced.

2. OE – Drainage Error

This is a situation where the washer cannot get rid of the water.

Common causes:

A drain hose or filter that is clogged.

A drain pump that is faulty.

Repair it: Insist on the cleaning of the drain area and hose. If the error is still there, be sure the pump is in good shape.

3. UE – Unbalanced Load Error

This is the point where the laundry becomes unbalanced, leading to the washer being unstable.

Common causes:

Mixing heavy and light products.
An abrupt overloading/underloading of the drum.

Fix it: Completely stop the current cycle, even remove the clothes, and restart it. Also, make sure the washing machine is on a flat surface.

4. dE – Door Error

It specifies that the door is not properly closed or there is a problem with the door switch or latch.

Some causes may be:

An object that is stopping the latch from working.

Loose wires going to the door switch.

In solving this issue, first check if the door is properly closed. If the error is still there, look at the door latch and switch.

5. FE – Overflow Error

Identifying information from the error code implies that the washing machine is filling with more water than necessary.

Possible causes are one of these:

The water inlet valve is defective.

The sensor of the water level is defective.

If this is the problem with you, switch off the water supply and unplug the machine. Then, replace the inlet valve or sensor if necessary.

When to Call a Technician

If basic troubleshooting does not eliminate the error, then you should reach out to LG support or a certified technician. Some errors – such as motor lock errors (LE), a faulty pressure sensor (PE), and a malfunctioning thermistor (tE) – are going to need a technician to come with tools and spare parts to fix it.
