Fault codes for an LG washing machine allow you to identify the cause of a breakdown or malfunction of the equipment. It is not difficult to decipher the two-digit code that is displayed on the display: each defect or violation of the normal operation of the device is assigned its own symbol. This function allows the consumer to independently assess the severity of the breakdown. In some cases, you can deal with the problem without seeking advice from specialists.
A.E.
AE - automatic shutdown error.
This code indicates a malfunction of the control unit or water entering the pan of the device. Turn off the power to the machine and turn it on again after 15-20 minutes. Check all mechanical connections of the device that come into contact with water.
Causes:
- Problems in the control unit (failure of control board parts or processor failure).
- Damage or wear of the rubber seal of the hatch.
- Tank defect.
- Failure of automatic leakage protection.
C.E.
CE - excess load on the electric motor.
The main reason for displaying this code on the display is an excessive amount of laundry placed in the drum. Unload some of the laundry from the drum and turn on the device again.
Causes:
- Exceeding the permissible load of laundry.
- Problems in the control unit.
- Malfunction of the drive motor (accompanied by “twitching” of the drum).
C.L.
CL - Child lock enabled (not an error)
This code does not indicate a failure or breakdown.It can be seen on the display if the child lock is activated. The device does not respond to button presses, and the hatch door cannot be opened.
You can deactivate the lock by pressing a combination of buttons, which depends on the device model and is specified in the operating instructions.
dE
dE - hatch locking error.
The most likely reason for this code to appear on the display is a problem with the hatch door locking. Try opening and closing the door again.
Causes:
- The door is not completely closed.
- The laundry is preventing the door from closing.
- Damage or wear to the door handle.
- Skewed locking hook.
- Damage to the wiring of the door lock elements.
E1
E1 - water flowing into the pan.
Elements of the machine that are out of order can cause water to leak into the pan.
Causes:
- Drum depressurization.
- Defective water leakage sensor.
- Mechanical damage to hoses.
F.E.
FE - tank overflow with water.
This fault code is displayed on the display when the washing machine tank is filled with water to the maximum permissible value.
Causes:
- Problems in the control unit.
- Defective water level sensor.
- Foreign objects in the water supply valve.
- Damage to the wiring running from the control unit to the water level sensor.
- Excess foam due to incorrectly selected detergent.
I.E.
IE - water does not flow into the tank.
After the set time (4 minutes) the device was unable to draw the required amount of water. The cause of such a failure may be simple inattention or problems in the operation of the water valve.
Causes:
- No water supply.
- Water inlet valve is closed (completely or partially).
- Water pressure in the water supply system is below normal.
- Mechanical damage and kinks in the water inlet hose.
- Clogging of the water inlet valve filter with limescale.
- The water supply hose is not connected correctly (gasket is skewed and the inlet is partially blocked).
LE
LE — motor lock error.
This code indicates that the motor has been locked in the washing machine. In the vast majority of cases, this problem is caused by low voltage in the electrical network. It is recommended to check the serviceability of the control unit and drive motor. Turn off the device for 15-20 minutes, and then turn it on again.
Causes:
- Excessively low voltage in the electrical network.
- The hatch door is not tightly closed.
- Malfunctions in the control unit.
- Foreign objects preventing the rotation of the drum. Atlant washing machine errors: error codes
OE — water drain does not work.
This code is displayed if the machine failed to drain the water after the allotted time (5-8 minutes). In this case, the water from the tank must be drained manually and the laundry must be unloaded.
Causes of occurrence:
Debris or foreign objects have entered the drain pump filter.
- The drain hose is compressed, twisted or clogged.
- Malfunctions in the control unit.
- Failure of the drain pump.
- Defective water sensor.
- Clogged sewer.
- PE
PE — malfunction of the water sensor (pressure switch).
This code can be displayed on the display if after a certain period of time (25 minutes) the tank has not filled with water to the required level or filling was done faster than expected (4 minutes).
Causes of occurrence:Causes:
There is no water supply.
- The water intake valve is closed (fully or partially).
- The water pressure in the water supply is below normal.
- Mechanical damage and kinks in the water intake hose.
- The water intake valve filter is clogged with limescale.
The water supply hose is not connected correctly (the gasket is skewed and the inlet is partially blocked).
L.E.
LE - electric motor blocking error.
Causes:
- Excessively low voltage in the electrical network.
- The hatch door is not tightly closed.
- Problems in the control unit.
- Foreign objects obstructing drum rotation.
- Atlant washing machine errors: fault codes
- O.E.
- OE - water drain does not work.
This code is displayed if the machine has failed to drain the water after the allotted time (5-8 minutes). In this case, the water from the tank must be drained manually and the laundry unloaded.
Causes:
There is debris or foreign objects in the drain pump filter.
The drain hose is pinched, kinked, or clogged.
- Problems in the control unit.
- Failure of the drain pump.
- Water sensor defective.
- Sewer blockage.
P.E.
PE - malfunction of the water sensor (pressostat).
This code may be displayed on the display if, after a certain period of time (25 minutes), the tank is not filled with water to the required level or the filling was completed faster than expected (4 minutes).
Causes:
- Incorrect connection of the machine to the sewer.
- The water pressure in the water supply is higher or lower than normal.
- Water sensor defective.
- Problems in the control unit.
PF - power failure on the control board.
This code is displayed if the device has diagnosed a power circuit malfunction. Make sure that the machine is connected to a separate outlet: it should not have additional branches or outlets. An extension cord or tee is prohibited.
How to descale your washing machine
Causes:
The plug is not firmly connected to the outlet.
- The device is connected to a multifunctional connector (tee, extension cord).
- The power cord or plug is damaged.
- Low voltage in the electrical network.
- Problems in the control unit.
- Mechanical damage to wiring.
Damage to the heating element (heating element).
