LG Washing Machine Error Codes and Faults
LG washing machines can display error codes. These codes occur in response to various malfunctions and failures. They provide information about the malfunction that is preventing the machine from operating properly. It's not uncommon for a user to be able to resolve the issue themselves by identifying the problem.
Of course, it's best to follow the correct instructions when performing repairs. Our website can serve as such a guide. It contains a wealth of information on how to troubleshoot many washing machine problems yourself.
To help you correctly interpret your LG washing machine's error code, we'll provide you with a table with explanations. We'll list all error types. We'll also include helpful information about the causes of these errors and brief tips for repairing your LG washing machine yourself.
LG error codes
| Code | Interpretation | Why did the error occur? |
| AE | An automatic shutdown error occurred | There is no information available on this issue. |
| CE | The motor has become overloaded. This problem usually occurs when too much laundry is loaded into the drum. | As a solution, we propose the following:
|
| dE | The washing machine door is locked |
|
| FE | The washing machine's tank is full of water. This error indicates that the tank is full to the brim. | This malfunction occurs for the following reasons:
|
| E1 | Water poured into the washing machine's tray. That is, there was a leak. | One possible cause of this error is a damaged tank (a leak). Hoses, pipes, and other components could also be damaged. A faulty leak sensor is also possible. |
| HE | The heating element (TEN) is broken | The heating element needs to be checked for proper operation. If it's faulty, replace it with a new one. The heating element's power supply circuit may also be the culprit. |
| IE | Water is not filling or filling very slowly. This code appears when the water level has not reached the first level within four minutes. | There may be several reasons:
|
| OE | Water is not draining from the tank. You may notice this sequence of letters if, five minutes after the drain pump has been started, water remains in the machine's tank. |
|
| PE | An error related to the water level switch. It occurs when the water hasn't reached even the minimum level within 25 minutes. Or the tank has filled too quickly—specifically, within four minutes. | This could happen due to:
|
| UE | Incorrect balancing of the washing machine drum | In some cases, simply rearranging the laundry inside the machine can solve the problem. Or adding more laundry if there isn't enough. If these steps don't help, you should check the electrical controller and inspect the motor drive. |
| tE | Problem with water temperature in the machine | This code appears when there are problems with the temperature sensor's normal operation. This means it may be broken due to an open circuit, short circuit, or other causes. |
| E3 | An error occurred while determining the load of the washing machine. | There is no information available on this issue. |
| SE | Hall sensor malfunction | This error occurs when there are problems with the Hall sensor. Simply put, it could simply be broken or its wires and connections have become damaged. This sensor is only present in washing machines with direct drive. |
| LE | Hatch locking device (HLD) error |

I have CL written on my screen. What could this be? Thanks in advance.
Nastya, this is CL—the child lock. It's turned on and off by holding down the "super rinse" + "pre-rinse" key combination for 3 seconds (depending on the model, the combination may be different, but there's a lock between these keys).
Thank you
Thank you!!! You saved me... I thought I'd have to call a professional.
Why did this blocking suddenly appear if I didn’t turn it on myself?
Great, thank you 🙂
Thank you
Thank you so much! Savior!
Good afternoon, my car is displaying LE, what should I do, what is it and why?

Hydraulic hammer when filling the car with water: is this a malfunction or normal? How can I fix this? I haven't had similar issues with other models.

There was HER, but one first one without the top stick
My LG washing machine is leaking and showing the LE error. Can you tell me what it means? Thanks in advance.
This message appears when the machine starts draining on its own. Either the hose is connected incorrectly, or the problem is with the tank. Try removing the hose from the drain and hanging it over a bathtub, sink, or toilet.
Thank you

My LG washing machine is displaying a 3D error. What is it?

Hello, my washing machine has an AE error message. What should I do? Thanks in advance.
Most likely the module is faulty - call a technician.
I have a 5.5-year-old LG washing machine. My parents have the same one. But they have a different model for about 11 years. Both have the same strange behavior. From the very beginning, when washing for 1 hour 24 minutes, 54-57 minutes, 7 minutes—at these times, they have this weird behavior: they wash, but the time stands still!!! And this can go on for about 30 minutes. Once, it jammed for an hour, and then just suddenly jumped to 54 minutes (that's about what it should have been like if the time was accurate). And then it often just freezes and washes. We got new machines, different models, but the strange behavior is the same. And my daughter's also really likes to jump. You adjust it, some of it washes fine, and then bam, it jumps like crazy. What's wrong with them?
The heating element burned out (maximum wash temperature 60°C). It's jumping—check the shock absorber on the old one, load it properly, and tighten the feet completely.

Hello, I have an LG washing machine with a 5-kilogram load capacity. Everything is fine, but the time jumps back during the spin cycle. What is the cause and how can I fix it?

Guys, I just bought it and it's giving me a PF error! What does it mean and what should I do?
There's a power failure. Press the start/pause button and restart. If it doesn't work, check the power cord and plug, as well as the outlet, with a voltage tester (this error occurs if the voltage is low).

Hello! I have an LG F1296TD4 washing machine. When I turn it on, the keypad sounds disappear, programs won't set, and instead, when I try to set programs, the timer time appears on the display. Each time I press the keypad, the timer time increases, but the timer button itself doesn't respond. What should I do and what's the problem? The machine is in Eldorado Express Service. Should I wait for a certified Eldorado technician or call a paid technician? I can't imagine life without my washing machine!
It's better to call a repairman under warranty first, rather than waste money right away? He might be able to solve the problem.
