How To Resolve 10 Simple Errors In Your L.G Washing Machine by VcStunner(m): 12:00pm On Apr 11, 2018
The following error codes, meaning and solutions will help you to diagnose your LG front loader washing machine issues when and where ever they may occur. It is also important to state that this is however to help you solve the less technical problems (simple DIY) without needing to call in the technicians. It however does not mean that you could fix every error yourself as some may be more deep rooted and may require a professional technician to resolve.

ERROR CODE, MEANING SOLUTION.

O.E: Drain Error: Washer unable to drain. It can be caused by a clogged drain pump filter or a twisted drain host.

1. Check to be sure the drain host is not clogged or twisted then run a spin cycle to confirm that the error has been resolved.

2. If the drain is not twisted, then run a spin cycle by doing the following; Power, Press Spin Speed till High is highlighted, Press Start
and then listen for a humming sound. That shows the washer is fine now.

I.E: Inlet Water Supply Error: Indicates washer is unable to fill with water. May be caused by a closed supply tap, twisted or
damaged inlet hoses, or clogged inlet filters.

1. Be sure to open both water taps fully and resume normal operation.

2. Straighten out any kinks that may be in the water lines. And if the inlet line is damaged, consider replacement.

U.E: Unbalanced Load Error: This indicates that the load in the washer is not balanced due to some possible reasons such as small
loads, single bulky items such as jeans, large single items such as Sheets, blankets etc.

1. Re-arrange the items in the drum and restart the cycle again. If that is done right, the error should clear.

C.L: This indicates Child Lock is active. Although this is not an error but its function is enough to cause you some level of panic because
it de-activates the control panel temporarily and thus the inability to adjust settings.

1. Press and hold the Child lock button for 3seconds to either activate or de-activate.

L.E: Locked Motor Drive Error: This indicates that the motor is locked, due to a possible heavy wash load.

1. Adjust the load and turn the washer back on, else…

2. Reset the washer using the following steps:

i. Turn off the washer and unplug
ii. Press and hold Start/Pause for 5 seconds
iii.Plug and switch on the washer and start a new cycle.

D.E: Door Error: this indicates that the washer door was unable to lock

1. Press in on the door firmly to lock. Else…

2. Do a reset using the method above.

C.E: Over-current Error: this indicates that there has been an over current in the electrical circuit of the motor. Usually caused by a
short-circuit, loose connection, ground fault or power surge.

1. Unplug the washer for 30 seconds, plug it back in and run a normal cycle.

F.E: Over-filling Error: This indicates that the washer is overfilling usually as a result of faulty water valve.

1.Close the water taps and Press the Spin Speed until NO SPIN is selected.
2.Press the START/PAUSE Button.
3.Once the washer has drained, restart the wash cycle.

t.E: Thermistor Error: this indicates that a heating error has occurred, usually caused by faulty thermistor.

1.Unplug the washer and wait for 30 seconds.
2.Plug and power back on the washer and repeat the process in the F.E and restart once the washer is drained.

Sud

Sud is not an error but indicates that there may be too many suds in the washer. This can add 2-hours to the cycle time to reduce
the sud. The washer may stop if too many suds are detected during spinning to prevent leaking. Do not add more than the
manufacturers recommended amount of detergent.

you may have take the right steps, but the error also extends to the thermistor which is a little bit more technical. It may be more than a DIY, you should consider calling in customer care to send a technician if the machine was bought new. Let them help you resolve this once and for all.

what detergent available in Nigeria is recommended for front load washing machine? i learned that some detergent can foam heavily and lead to sud accumulation in the machine which can also result in the machine fault/damage.
