- Error codes for washing machines LG
- Probable malfunctions that require repair
Most modern LG washing machines have built-in function for displaying error code in the event of some malfunctions and malfunctions during operation. Often, understanding the meaning of the error code, the user can easily eliminate the failure or malfunction without contacting the service department. Well for example, the washing machine LG bug UE - how do you understand what it means? To correctly interpret any error code of the LG machine, we will provide you with a list of explanations. In it we will include all the error codes and add useful information, about how they appeared, brief tips for self-repair of your LG washing machine.
to the table of contents βError codes for washing machines LG
First, the code itself will appear, then what it means and then explain why this error occurred.
AE
This is an automatic shutdown error.
CE
This code indicates that the motor has been overloaded. Typically, this problem occurs precisely when an excessively large amount of contaminated laundry is loaded into the tank.
In order to solve this problem, we offer you the following:
- Try to get a certain part of the laundry, if it really is a lot. Then run the wash again.
- If the previous action could not help you and the CE error again appeared, then you should make sure that the electric controller and the motor of the machine are working.
- In washing machines with direct drive, this fault can also be manifested in the trembling of the drum.
dE
The hatch of the washing machine is not tightly locked. As a rule, in order for the LG washing machine error code to stop showing itself, you just need to close the hatch of the machine.
In the event that the re-closing failed to help, you should make sure that the UBL is a properly locked hatch, and that the electrical controller is not out of order.
FE
The tank of your washing machine is full of water. This error tells us that the tank is filled to the maximum with water. This fault occurs for the following reasons:
- The electrical controller has broken down.
- Level relay defective.
- The filling valve became unsuitable.
E1
The tray of the machine has filled with water. In other words, an ordinary leak occurred. The reasons for this error washing machine LG:
- One of the options, which could cause this error - a tank failure, namely its depressurization.
- Hoses, nipples and other parts could also come into disrepair.
- It is possible that the leakage sensor could break.
HE
The heating element( TEN) has become unusable. Check the operation of the heating element. If it still turns out to be faulty - replace it with a new one.
Important! Culprits of power failure can also be the faults of the TEN.
IE
Water is not poured or filled extremely slowly. This code appears at a time when the water meter was unable to reach the first level after 4 minutes.
There can be several reasons for this phenomenon:
- The filling valve could fail.
- The pressure switch has broken, in other words - the water level sensor.
- Extremely weak water pressure inside the water pipes.
- This code can also occur when the water is completely disconnected.
OE
If an OE error appears on the LG washing machine, the water from the tank does not drain. This set of symbols you can see in case if after passing 5 minutes after starting the pump to drain the water, the water is still left inside the machine's tank.
Reasons:
- It is possible that the drainage system was clogged.
- The pump itself could break.
- In addition, the pressure switch could become unusable.
- A defect in the electronic controller could occur.
PE
This error of the LG washing machine is directly connected to the water level switch. It arises when the water does not even reach the minimum value in 25 minutes. Or the tank filled very quickly. And to be more precise, in 4 minutes.
This phenomenon could occur due to:
- Too low or vice versa, the high water pressure inside the water pipes.
- It is likely that a level relay occurred, that is, a pressure switch.
UE
If the washing machine LG shows a UE error, there are violations in the drum balancing of the washing machine. In order to solve the problem, it is enough to put the laundry inside the machine in another way. Or else to report a little more laundry, if it is not enough.
If this solution could not help you, perform a full check of the electrical controller and inspect the motor drive. Below we will consider more complex reasons for the appearance of this code on the display of your technique.
tE
The problem of water temperature in the typewriter. This error code appears when there is a problem with the normal operation of the temperature sensor. In other words, it can be unsuitable due to a closure, a cliff and other causes.
E3
An error has occurred that is related to determining the loading of your washing machine. Unfortunately, there is no information on this issue.
SE
The Hall sensor is defective. This error occurs when there are problems with the functioning of the Hall sensor. Simply put, it could well have corrupted or broken its connections and wires.
Important! This sensor is present only in those machines that have direct drive.
LE
Error of the hatch lock. One of the possible options, which explains the occurrence of this error - is an excessively low voltage in the electrical network itself.
In addition, you must make sure that the electric motor and the electronic controller are in good condition.
to the contents βProbable malfunctions that require repair
In the list you can see typical faults that cause the washing machine to generate UE errors:
- If your LG machine does not wring during each wash and displays a UE error,control module. This is a chip that is the brain of any washing machine. It is necessary to repair the control board, to solder the burnt elements or to completely replace it.
- The LG automatic washing machine with a long service life is very thundering, does not start the spin process and writes a UE error. Under the washing machine, black spots from the oil may appear. The drum of those models that have a direct drive can twitch. The process of destruction of the bearing began because of moisture and wear and tear. Oil stains on the floor surface mean that the oil seal has flowed, which is designed to prevent water from entering the bearing. It is necessary to replace the bearings and seals.
- Regular error occurs during washing, spinning or rinsing. In machines where the drive is straight, the drum twitches. The Hall sensor is faulty, and it is necessary to control the speed of rotation of the drum. Replace the Hall sensor.
- The LG machine does not gain momentum during the spin mode, and then stops and displays a UE error. The error may not always appear, but often. The washing belt of the washing machine was worn out, stretched or lacerated, resulting in an imbalance during the rotation of the drum. Replace the drive belt.
Now you have an idea of ββthe most common problems with the operation of this brand's equipment. We hope, if you have a UE error, you could fix it yourself.
