LG error IE or 1E

Do you see an IE or 1E error on the display of your LG washing machine? That's means there's a problem with the water supply. Fully open the water supply, to plenty of water can flow through it. Check if there's a kink in the supply hose. Remove the kink or replace the hose if it's broken. Finally, check the filter of the supply hose. To do so, remove the hose from the water supply. Have a towel ready, just to be sure. Clean the filter if it's dirty and reconnect the hose.

LG error code OE

If you see the error OE on the display, the drain is blocked. Is there a kink in the drain hose? Straighten it. It's possible there's a hairpin or coin stuck in the filter of the drain pump. To check this, open the hatch at the front of the washing machine. It's often located at the bottom right. Remove the filter and clean it. Place the filter back afterwards. Test if the wash cycle works now.

LG error code UE

In case of the UE error, the washing machine is out of balance. That can be the case when there's too little laundry in the drum, for example. Add some matching laundry. It's possible the laundry is all on 1 side of the drum. Is that the case? Redistribute the laundry for a better balance. Do you wash large pieces, like a bathrobe or a bathmat? You might have to redistribute those too.

LG error code dE, dE1, or dE2

If you see the message dE, dE1, or dE2, the door is not closed properly. Push the door firmly until you hear a click. Laundry might be stuck between the door. In a more extreme case, the door lock is broken and you need a mechanic.

LG error code LE

The motor is overloaded when you see the LE error. There may be too much laundry in the drum, so you have to take some out. Leave the washing machine for 30 minutes to cool the motor. Restart the washing program afterwards.

LG error code AE

The AE error indicates there's a leak in the washing machine. Turn the appliance off and disconnect the power cord. Fully close the water supply. Contact LG or the place where you bought it if the washing machine is covered by the warranty.

LG failure PE

The error PE means that a malfunction with the water level sensor. Close the water supply and remove the connector from the socket. Check if the washing machine is connected to the water supply properly. Is there a blockage or kink in the supply hose? Clean the hose or remove the kink. Turn the appliance on afterwards.

Didn't fix the problem?

If the solutions don't work, take the connector from the socket and wait for 30 minutes to reset the appliance. Didn't this work either? Sadly, you can't solve every problem by yourself. Sometimes, you need a mechanic to help you. Did you buy your washing machine at Coolblue? Is it covered by the warranty? Contact the customer service. Isn't this the case? Contact the place where you bought it or LG.
