LG washing machine error codes: complete list

- How to reset an error on an LG washing machine
If you have a WD80250S washing machine without a display, no problem: LG indicates errors with an indication. Correspondence between flashing and main codes:
Wash + rinse - IE.
Wash + rinse + wring - OE.
Push-ups + degrees - FE.
Push-up - UE.
Rinsing + degrees - RE.
Everyone blinks - RE.
Degrees - tE.
Error codes are planned in the next section of articles.
For the LG F1068ld model, everything looks different:
| Which indicators are on? | Description of the error | Possible reasons |
| Above “Start” - indicators 2 and 4 | The washing machine does not see progress in filling the tank |
We check the presence of water and the position of the tap. Other reasons:
|
| Above “Start” - 2 upper indicators | Water does not drain |
|
| All indicators above the spin | Uneven load on the drum |
|
| All indicators above “Start” and temperature | The washing machine does not see the door closing |
|
| All indicators above temperature | Thermal sensor failures | Damage to temperature sensor, wiring, controller |
| All indicators above "Start" | Transfusion | Malfunction of sensor, inlet valve |
As you can see, an LG washing machine without a display shows error codes using the display. The presence of several rows of LEDs simplifies the process and allows you to calculate a breakdown without counting the number of blinks, as in the case of antediluvian models that have only a couple of bulbs.
Errors in LG washing machines with display
| Error codes | Description of the error | Possible reasons |
| АЕ | Water leak | The code appears only in models with aquastop. If the floor is dry, you need to check the float, it sometimes moves due to vibration |
| ЕI | Water leak | Depressurization of the tank or problem with the hoses. You need to look at the tank, pipes, and hatch edging. If the floor is dry, the leakage sensor may be faulty |
| FE | Refilling the tank |
The reason may be increased foaming of the washing powder. In this case, replace the detergent with a more suitable one.
Alternative options: The water inlet valve does not close, incorrect position of the hose connected to the sewer |
| IE | Water is in no hurry to fill the drum |
First, make sure there is no water loss in the house. If there is pressure, check the position of the washing machine faucet, the condition of the hose and the filter at the entrance to the machine.
More complex failures include a malfunction of the water sensor or valve |
| РЕ | Water sensor error. The washing machine does not take up water, pumps it too quickly or slowly | Error PE on the display of the LG washing machine is similar to IE. The algorithm of actions is the same. If there is too much pressure in the water supply, turn the faucet halfway |
| ОЕ | Can't drain water |
The control board may be stuck. Turn off the machine by unplugging it from the socket for 15 minutes, and turn on the wash again. If it doesn't help, check: the hose for squeezing or blockage; inspection hatch: perhaps some small items from clothing pockets got into it; the functioning of the sewer pipe into which the drain goes; if possible, there is no blockage of the outlet from the tank; it can be blocked by a small item that gets there: a sock, a scarf, etc. Another reason is a malfunction or poor performance of the pump. |
| 1Е | Water drain error | When water appears in the drum, the pump immediately turns on, this is due to a short circuit in the control board. Treated by soldering or replacing the module |
| UE | Problem loading things into the washing machine | Make sure there is enough laundry in the drum. Redistribute things if necessary. Also, the error may pop up if the housing is not level, the controller or tachometer is faulty, or a mechanical breakdown occurs |
| Е3 | Few items loaded | Add things |
| СЕ | The machine cannot rotate the drum | The typical reason is overload. Try halving things in the washing machine. Alternative options: motor or controller failure |
| LE | Direct drive washing machine cannot spin the drum |
Open and close the door. The machine will not work if the hatch is not tightly closed.
The control module may have malfunctioned. Disable it and run the program again after 15 minutes.
Deal with overload. Reduce your laundry load. If things are bunched together, put several clothes of approximately the same size.
Try spinning the drum by hand. Perhaps it was blocked by an object that fell into the niche between it and the tank.
The causes of the error also include low voltage in the network |
| dE | Lack of airtight hatch closure | Open the hatch and then press until it clicks. The door should slam shut properly. Pay attention to the condition of the door handle; sticking of the tongue is one of the reasons for the error in the fashionable LG washing machine. |
| НЕ | The water doesn't heat up | The heating element is faulty or there is no power supplied to it |
| tE | Heating error | There is a problem with the heating element, controller, thermistor or temperature sensor. In models that can dry clothes, the sensor responsible for drying has failed. The code will also appear if you try to wash in a room with sub-zero temperatures. |
| PF | Controller failure | The main reason is low voltage in the network. Alternative sources of the problem: malfunction of the controller, heating element, wiring/contacts; The unit was unable to continue operating after the power went out and came back again. In the latter case, you need to resume the wash cycle |
| ЕЕ | indication board | You will have to replace the module responsible for the display. |
| SE | Doesn't turn the engine |
Possible troubles
At best, the controller is frozen |
| CL | The child lock worked. The washing machine does not respond to buttons, does not want to open | To disable the lock, press the appropriate key combination. If you don't remember it, look at the user manual. The required combination of buttons depends on the model |
| tcL | Drum needs cleaning | To remove the code, start cleaning by pressing the corresponding washing button or key combination. The process takes place with an empty drum and takes approximately 90 minutes. |
How to reset an error on an LG washing machine
Unfortunately, problems are not solved that easily. If the wash stops, an ominous error code appears on the display, or the machine blinks alarmingly with indicators, this indicates some kind of malfunction. You can't just reset the code and forget about it. You need to find the cause, eliminate it, and then the error will stop appearing.
Another thing is resetting the program. Restarting the machine with new settings may be necessary if:
- made a mistake with the program
- they put in the wrong powder,
- a smartphone that got in with the laundry is knocking in the drum, etc.
To reset, press Start and the wash will stop. Then you can select another program or drain the water. To drain, select the Squeeze - No Squeeze mode and start the machine. She will obediently drain the water. This sequence of actions, in principle, is the answer to the question of how to reset the error on the display of an LG washing machine. Only the next time you start the unit, most likely, it will produce the same code, unless, of course, you eliminate the cause.
The manufacturer recommends dealing with control board freezes by disconnecting (pulling out) from the socket and turning it on again after 15 minutes. If an electronics failure occurs, such a reboot can help. This is where it is logical to begin the fight against any errors that hint at the opening of the case. Turning it off and on is much easier than disassembling the device, testing components, etc.
In conclusion, another reason to reset the program. If an error occurs when washing sneakers or running some other tricky algorithm, do not rush to invite a specialist. Sometimes the controller stops the process when only one program is running. If you want to delay calling the service, try running some simpler wash. Perhaps the machine will cope with it with a bang. Another temporary solution to the problem is to reduce the load on the device. Sometimes the equipment does not work at full normal load, but at half load it pleases with uninterrupted operation.
