LG Washer Common Error Codes – Troubleshooting for Toronto Homeowners
These days, LG washers are built smarter than ever! Sleek designs, energy-saving features, and advanced sensors that make laundry day easy and efficient. But even the smartest washer has its off days. If your LG washer has decided to take a day off - Don’t panic!
We've created a practical troubleshooting guide that all Toronto homeowners can use.
Why Do LG Washers Display Error Codes?
Modern LG washers have built-in diagnostics that make catching malfunctions easier and faster.
Here are some of the usual suspects behind those error codes:
A clogged filter or a broken drain pump
Issues with water flow
Power surges or electrical malfunctions
Unbalanced loads
Broken door latches
Sensor related error codes
Common error codes and their hidden meanings
Here are the top LG washer error codes we see most often in homes around Toronto:
OE – Drain Error
Your washer isn’t draining like it should.
Check the drain hose for any blockages or kinks
Clean out the drain pump filter (usually at the bottom front of the machine - not applicable to most top loaders.)
IE – Water Inlet Error
This means your washer isn’t filling up.
Ensure both water taps are fully open
Remove and clean the small filters where the hoses connect to the washer (Do not forget to shut the water supply to the unit and make sure it did actually close)
UE – Unbalanced Load
The washer’s struggling to spin because the load isn’t balanced.
Pause the cycle and even things out
Avoid stuffing in bulky and light items together - Pillows and duvets can be a nightmare for your washing machine!
DE – Door Error
The door isn’t locking or unlocking properly.
Close it firmly until you hear a click
Look for anything stuck in the door seal
FE – Overflow Error
Too much water is coming in.
Turn off the water supply right away
This usually means a faulty inlet valve or sensor it’s time to call us
tE – Thermistor Error
This one’s about temperature issues.
Try unplugging the washer for 10 minutes to reset it
If the code pops back up, the temp sensor might need replacing
Try a Reset
Unplug the machine for about 5-10 minutes
Plug it back in and run a quick rinse or spin cycle
Check if the error code disappears
