On Display Error Codes
An error code on your washing machine display is telling you what the problem may be and you can identify the cause by using your owner’s manual. Common issues are listed here…
dE error code
An LG washing machine dE error signifies a problem with the washing machine door being unable to lock. And may be corrected by simply resetting the washing machine. Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Press and hold the start button for five seconds and turn the power back on. If the door is firmly shut but won’t lock you’ll need an engineer.
uE error code
The top load LG washing machine error code uE indicates that the washing machine is unbalanced – and is attempting to balance the load. With the display still flashing the appliance will fill with water to try and separate the garments. Then will drain and spin again.
UE error code
Following three attempts the uE display code will change to UE informing you that the washing machine cannot rebalance the load and will need manual assistance. You can operate an empty rinse and spin cycle to see if that works. If not, you may need the help of an engineer. It could be that the machine is simply not standing on level ground.
0E error code
When your LG washing machine won’t drain this could be due to an unbalanced load. Or an issue with drainage. Your display will show error code 0E. You’ll need to check for a kinked or damaged drain hose. And test the drain pump – it will hum as the drain pump motor starts to work. You’ll hear the water draining during the first few seconds. No sound indicates the pump isn’t working properly and you may need a replacement.
A check on the drain pump filter will determine whether there’s a blockage and the filter needs cleaning.
How to drain water from LG top load washing machine is quite easy if you follow these steps:
- Turn the washing machine on
- Press the Special Use key until Spin Only is lit
- Press the start/pause button to begin the cycle
- The washing machine should start a spin only cycle and drain any water left inside
If this fails, you’ll need to call in an expert.
