Error codes for washing machines LG

First, the code itself will stand, then what it means, and then an explanation of why this error occurred.

Ae

This is an automatic shutdown error.

CE

This code indicates that the engine has overloaded. As a rule, this problem arises precisely when an excessively large amount of contaminated laundry is loaded into the tank. To avoid such problems in the future, use load table.  

In order to solve this problem, we offer you the following:

1. Try to get a certain part of the laundry, if there is really a lot of it. Then restart the wash.
2. If the previous action could not help you and the CE error appeared again, then you must make sure that the electrical controller and the electric motor of the machine are working.
3. In washing machines that have direct drive, this malfunction can also occur in the drum trembling.

dE

The hatch of the washing machine is not tightly locked. As a rule, in order for the LG washing machine error code to stop showing, you just need to close the hatch of the machine more tightly.

In the event that the repeated closure could not help, you must make sure that the UBL - hatch blocking device is working properly, and also that the electrical controller is not malfunctioning.

FE

The tank of your washing machine is full of water. This error tells us that the tank is filled to the maximum with water. Such a malfunction occurs due to the following reasons:

• The controller is broken.
• Faulty level switch.
• The filler valve became useless.

And if the water does not drain, then the drain pump could fail. Follow the link and find out in our separate article how repair the drain pump in the washing machine.

E1

The pallet of the machine was filled with water. In other words, an ordinary leak occurred. The reasons for this error of the LG washing machine:

• One of the reasons why this error could occur is a breakdown of the tank, namely its depressurization.
• Hoses, pipes and other parts could also become unusable.
• It is possible that the leakage sensor could break.

HE

The heating element (TEN) became unusable. Check the operation of the heating element. If it still turns out to be faulty, replace it with a new one.

Important! The culprits of the failure may also be the power supply circuit of the heater.

IE

Water is not poured or poured extremely slowly. This code appears at a time when the water indicator could not reach the first level after 4 minutes.

The reasons for this phenomenon can be several at once:

• The filling valve could have failed.
• The pressure switch broke, in other words, the water level sensor.
• Extremely low pressure of water inside the water pipes.
• This code may also occur when the water is completely shut off.

OE

If an OE error occurs on the LG washing machine, the water from the tank does not drain. You can see this character set if after 5 minutes after starting the pump to drain the water, the water still remains inside the machine’s tank.

Causes:

• It is possible that the drainage system was clogged.
• The pump itself could break.
• In addition, the pressure switch could become unusable.
• There could be a defect in the electronic controller.

PE

This error of the LG washing machine is directly related to the water level switch. It occurs when water does not reach even the minimum value in 25 minutes. Or the tank filled up extremely quickly. And to be more precise, then in 4 minutes.

This phenomenon could occur due to:

• Too low or vice versa high water pressure inside the water pipes.
• It is likely that the level switch, i.e. the pressure switch, has failed.

UE

If the LG washing machine shows a UE error, there are irregularities in the balancing of the drum of the washing machine. In order to solve the problem, just put the laundry inside the machine in another way. Or to report some more linen if it is not enough.

If this solution to the problem could not help you, conduct a full check of the electrical controller and inspect the motor drive. Below we will consider the more complex reasons for the appearance of this code on the display of your equipment.

tE

The problem of water temperature in the machine. This error code appears when there is a malfunction in the normal operation of the temperature sensor. In other words, it may be unsuitable due to short circuit, open circuit and other reasons.

E3

An error has occurred that is related to determining the load on your washing machine. Unfortunately, there is no information on this issue.

SE

Hall sensor defective. This error occurs when there are problems with the functioning of the Hall sensor. Simply put, it could well break down corny or its connections and wires were broken.

Important! This sensor is present exclusively on machines that have direct drive.

LE

Hatch lock device error. One of the possible options that explains the occurrence of this error is an excessively low voltage in the mains itself. To prevent important machine components from failing, protect it from power surges by installing surge protector.

In addition, you must make sure that the electric motor and electronic controller are working.

Important! Most problems can be avoided if you carefully follow the instructions for use of the equipment, as well as periodically washing machine prevention.

Probable malfunctions that require repair

In the list, you can familiarize yourself with typical malfunctions that cause the UE to generate errors on the washing machine:

• If your LG machine does not wring during each wash and displays a UE error, the control module has failed. This is the microchip that is the brain of any washing machine. It is necessary to repair the control board, re-solder the burned-out elements, or need its complete replacement. Find out more about it in our separate review. "The control module of the washing machine".
• The LG washing machine with a long service life is very booming, does not start the spin process and writes a UE error. Black stains of oil may appear under the washing machine. The drum of those models that have direct drive can twitch. The process of bearing destruction due to moisture and commonplace wear has begun. Oil stains on the floor surface mean that the oil seal has leaked, which is designed to prevent water from entering the bearing. Bearings and seals must be replaced.
• Regularly, an error appears at the stage of washing, spinning or rinsing. In machines that have a direct drive, the drum twitches. The Hall sensor is defective, and it is necessary in order to control the speed of rotation of the drum. Replace the Hall sensor.
• The LG machine does not gain momentum during the spin cycle, and after that it stops and gives a UE error. An error may not always appear, but often enough. The drive belt of the washing machine is worn, stretched, or delaminated, resulting in an imbalance during rotation of the drum. Replace drive belt.
