Most searched LG washer codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1E | Inlet error — the washer is not filling (1E is the segmented-display rendering of IE). |
| AE | Two different LG faults share this code, by platform. On LG top-load washers AE is a rotation error: the gears responsible for rotating the drum cannot operate properly. On LG front-load washers (global/EU manuals) AE is a water leakage error: water leaks — call for service. |
| CL | Child Lock is ON — not an error. The control panel is locked on purpose. |
| DE | Door error — the washer door was unable to lock (LG US wording). The door is open, not fully closed, or the lock has not engaged/reported. |
| FE | Overflow error — the water level is too high (LG's manuals: 'Water level is too high due to a faulty water valve'; LG's top-load list: the washer has detected an overfilled tub). |
| HE | Heating error — the washer's heater circuit is not performing (on LG washers with a built-in heater). |
| IE | Inlet error — the washer is not filling with water properly (Water Inlet Error). |
| LE | Locked motor error — the washer's direct-drive motor cannot rotate (or the control can't confirm it is rotating). |
| OE | Drain error — the washer is not draining (Output Error in LG's naming). |
| PE | Pressure (water level) sensor error — the level sensor is faulty or its signal is implausible. |
| PF | Power failure — power to the washer was cut off during operation (and the washer is telling you so). |
| SUD | Suds detected — the washer has detected too many suds and is running its suds-reducing cycle (displayed as Sd or SUD depending on the panel). |
