• LE;
• FE;
• tE;
• PF;

Decoding codes

1. The UE error on the lg washing machine means that the machine has recognized an unbalanced load.
2. If OE is displayed, the problem is with the drain pump.
3. PE means problems with the water level sensor.
4. If the LE error is displayed on the display of the lg washing machine, then the problem is in the door blocking.
5. If FE is highlighted, it is an overflow problem.
6. tE appears when the water heating sensor fails.
7. PF - power failure.
8. E1 - informational warning about water leakage into the sump.
9. CL is a protection, not a malfunction.
10. IE - valve malfunction.
11. dE - open door.

Reasons for the appearance of errors

The reason for the appearance of a certain code on the display of the device:

• What does the ue error mean in the lg washing machine - The code is informative in nature, since the machine only reports that it will not be able to rotate without the risk of damage.
• OE - The error is displayed if, five minutes after the start of the pump, the water has not been removed from the tank.
• PE - Failure of the program will mean that the water will fill the tank for a long time or faster than expected.
• LE - Fault caused by undervoltage.
• FE - May be caused by a malfunction of the electronic controller or by an overloaded tank. If you are using the wrong detergent, foam may fill the tub and cause the FE code to appear on the LCD. Problem with the water pressure sensor. It will also occur if there is a foreign object in the water supply hood.
• tE - Defect in the heating circuit.
• PF - the device may not be plugged into an outlet, but powered from the multifunction jack.
• E1 - The main problem here is leakage.
• CL - Lights up when the buttons on the display are pressed randomly. CL is childproof, therefore, when this sign appears, the device does not respond to pressing buttons and does not open the door.
• IE - Occurs if the device is not filled with water within the allotted time.
• dE - Appears on the display when the door is open, there may also be problems with the locking mechanism.
