Error codes and malfunctions of LG washing machines
Washing machines made under the LG brand have the ability to display an error code. Such codes occur during various breakdowns and any failures. They carry information about what malfunction is preventing the normal operation of the machine. And it often happens that having understood what the problem is, a person can solve it himself.
Of course, it is advisable to carry out repairs following the correct instructions. Our website can serve as such instructions. It has a lot of information on how to troubleshoot many washing machine problems yourself.
In order to correctly interpret the LG machine error code, we will provide you with a table with explanations. We will introduce all kinds of errors into it. And in addition, we will add useful information about the reasons for their occurrence and brief recommendations on how to independently repair an LG washing machine.
LG Error Codes
| Code | Interpretation | Why did the error occur? |
| A.E. | Auto shutdown error occurred | There is no information available on this issue. |
| C.E. | The motor has overloaded. This problem usually occurs when too much dirty laundry is loaded into the tank. | We offer the following as a solution:
|
| dE | The washing machine hatch is locked |
|
| F.E. | The washing machine tank is full of water. This error tells us that the tank is filled to the maximum with water. | This malfunction occurs for the following reasons:
|
| E1 | Water has filled into the pan of the machine. That is, a leak has occurred. | One of the options why this error occurred is a breakdown of the tank (its depressurization). Hoses, pipes and other parts could also become unusable. It is also possible that the leak sensor may fail. |
| HE | The heating element (heating element) is broken | It is necessary to check the functionality of the heating element. In case of malfunction, replace it with a new one. The power supply circuits of the heating element may also be the culprit of the breakdown. |
| I.E. | Water does not fill or fills very slowly. This code appears when the water level has not reached the first level in four minutes. | There may be several reasons:
|
| O.E. | Water does not drain from the tank. You can notice this set of letters if, five minutes after the pump was started to drain the water, water remained in the tank of the machine. |
|
| P.E. | An error associated with the level switch. It occurs when the water has not even reached the minimum level in 25 minutes. Or the tank filled up too quickly. Specifically, in four minutes. | This could happen due to:
|
| UE | Incorrect balancing of the washing machine drum | In some cases, to solve the problem, it is enough to rearrange the laundry inside the machine. Or add more laundry if there is not enough. If these steps do not help, you need to check the electrical controller and inspect the motor drive. |
| tE | Problem with the water temperature in the machine | This code appears when there are problems with the normal operation of the temperature sensor. That is, it can be broken due to a break, short circuit or other reasons. |
| E3 | An error occurred while determining the washing machine load. | There is no information available on this issue. |
| S.E. | Hall sensor malfunction | This error occurs when there is a problem with the functioning of the Hall sensor. To put it simply, it could simply break down or its wires and connections could be damaged. This sensor is only present on machines with direct drive. |
| L.E. | UBL error (hatch locking device) |

it says CL on my screen. what could this be, thanks in advance
Nastya, this CL is a child protection (lock). It is turned on and off by holding (3 seconds) the key combination “super rinse” + “previous” (depending on the model there may be a different combination, but there is a padlock between these keys)
Thank you
Thank you!!! You saved me... I thought I would have to call a specialist
Why does this block suddenly appear if you didn’t turn it on yourself?
Great, thanks :)
Thank you
Thanks a lot! Savior!
Good afternoon, my machine displays LE, what should I do, what is it and why?
This error means that the hatch lock has broken.
The brushes are worn out on the engine.
Water hammer when filling the machine with water, a malfunction or normal? How to deal with this? There were no similar problems with other models.

This means that there was a power failure during the wash. You can continue washing simply by pressing start.
My spin doesn't work, it doesn't pick up speed.
There was HER but one first without the top stick
LG washing machine is leaking and displays error LE, tell me what it is, thanks in advance
This inscription appears when the machine itself begins to drain water. Either the hose is connected incorrectly, or the problem is a broken tank. Try removing the hose from the drain and hanging it from the bathtub, sink, or toilet.
Thank you

Hello, AE appears on my washing machine, what should I do? Thank you in advance)
Most likely the module is faulty - call a technician.
I have an LG machine for 5.5 years. And it’s the same with parents too. But the other model is already 11 years old. Both 1 and the second have 1 strangeness. From the very beginning, when washing for 1 hour 24 minutes, 54-57 minutes, 7 minutes—at this time they have a strange thing - they wash, but time stands still!!! And this can continue for about 30 minutes.Once it jammed like that for an hour, and then it just suddenly jumped to 54 minutes (that’s roughly what it should have been like if the time showed exactly b). And then it just often freezes and erases. The washing machines we found were new, the models were different, but the strangeness was the same. And my daughter also loves to jump. As soon as you adjust, some erases normally, and then bam and jumps around like crazy. What's wrong with them?
The heating element burned out (max. washing temperature 60 degrees). It jumps - check the shock absorber on the old one, load it properly and tighten the legs completely.

Good afternoon Please tell me I have a washing machine LG F1296TD4. When turned on, the sound of the keys disappeared, programs are not set, and instead, when you try to install programs, the timer time is displayed on the display. Each time you press the keys, the timer time increases, but the timer button itself does not respond to pressing. Tell me what to do and what is the reason? The washing machine is at the express service in Eldorado. Does it make sense to wait for a master from Eldorado with a certificate or call a paid master? I can’t imagine life without a washing machine!
It’s better to first call a warranty technician, why spend money right away? Perhaps he will solve the problem.
