LG Washing Machine Error Codes

If you’re in love with your LG washing machine it’s not surprising. These washing machines have a lot going for them.

Our updated guide for LG Washing Machine Error Codes for  2025.

LG machines come with large drum capacity and plenty of features, yet they are reasonably priced (starting from around £400). They come in grey shades as well as the ubiquitous white, look good in the kitchen or utility room, and run with very quiet motors.

It’s interesting to note that LG washing machines emanate from South Korea, but the LG washers we have in the UK are assembled in Wroclaw, Poland.

All in all, you probably hope your LG washing machine will never break down, but of course no home appliance is infallible, and they can suffer from technical errors.

Built-In Troubleshooting Codes for LG Washing Machines

Fortunately, LG like most modern washing machine manufacturers, have built in a set of troubleshooting codes that are displayed on the machine when a problem is detected. These codes are designed to give you – and/or a repair engineer – an idea of what has gone wrong with the operation of the machine.

It really helps our appliance engineers at Bath Domestic Appliances if you can tell us about the error code that you see on your LG washing machine when you call us out to make a repair.

LG washing machine fault codes are only useful for those who know what they mean, so we’ve put together a list of the most common LG codes you’ll notice on the digital display of a LG washing machine or LG washer-dryer that will make sure you’re alerted if your machine malfunctions while you’re doing the laundry.

Understanding LG Washing machine fault codes

AE – Flooding detected

If your LG washing machine has an anti-flood device this code will show when water is detected in the base of the machine, indicating a leak. Sometimes there may be no water present, but the float of the anti-flood device may be stuck closed. In either case you’ll need an expert to repair the problem, and probably replace the PCB as well.

CE – Possible motor current overload

Before you panic about this LG washing machine error code, check to ensure that you don’t have the drum packed with a too-heavy load. The sensors will be telling you the motor is not powerful enough to turn the drum, or turn it very slowly.

If overloading is not the problem then you are probably looking at a faulty motor, which has short-circuited due to a sudden current overload, or there could be a problem with the PCB (printed circuit board), which means you need professional help to diagnose and fix it.

CL – Child lock

As the initials suggest, this code means the Child Lock feature is activated, locking the control panel. It can be deactivated by pressing and holding the child lock button for several seconds until the CL code disappears.

DE – Problem with the door closure

This code (which can also show as dE1 or dE2) indicates that there is a problem with the LG washing machine’s door lock. It could be that you simply haven’t closed it properly, or it is misaligned because of an obstruction.

If you’ve checked and all is well, then it means there is a fault or malfunction with the door lock mechanism, and this will need replacing.

FE – Faulty water overflow

This code will be displayed during the filling part of the washing machine cycle, indicating there is too much water in the drum. This is probably down to a faulty water valve, or it could be due to low water pressure.

IE – Water supply error

You’ll see this LG washing machine fault code if there is not enough water entering the machine to start the cycle, meaning the water level in your machine is too low. This can often be resolved by checking that the taps are opened sufficiently, and examining the hose for blockages or kinks. If this doesn’t work then its likely there is a problem with the water inlet valve itself, and you’ll need an engineer to fix it.

LE – Overloading

This code is triggered when the machine detects an overload. The motor is unable to turn the drum because the laundry load is too heavy. Reduce the load and all should be well, but if the code doesn’t go away it’s a sign the motor may be faulty.

OE/UE – Unbalanced laundry load

When the wash cycle begins the machine will move the drum to make sure the wash load is evenly distributed. When the machine reaches the spin cycle and the load is unbalanced due to heavy or very large items being inside the code will be triggered and the machine will fail to spin. You can try redistributing the load, and check the machine is standing level on a flat, even surface. If the code persists there could be a problem with the tachometer on the motor.

PE – Water level pressure sensor faulty

This code indicates there is a problem with the sensor that regulates how much water the machine takes in. This can only be rectified by replacing the faulty pressure sensor, or even the printed circuit board itself.

TE – temperature sensor faulty

This code is triggered when the thermistor that regulates the water temperature in the washing machine is faulty, failing to activate the heating element. The machine will stop, and you’ll need to get the faulty thermistor replaced.

Hotpoint Washing Machine F05 Error Code Blog

Your Hotpoint washing machine as you will know is a reliable, trustworthy machine that you can trust every time you need to clean clothes. However, on occasions, there may be reason that it can’t perform to its highest capacity. Often times this is as a result of a small issue with your washing machine such as the door lock being blocked, or the machine being over filled.

In any case, your Hotpoint washing machine will display an error code. In this blog, updated for 2025, we will do a deep dive into Error Code F05. Error code F05 in 99% of cases signifies a draining issue. Your washing machine is unable to pump out wastewater. This is often due to a blockage in the wastewater pump or housing. Symptoms of the issue include water in the washer and the machine refusing to spin wet clothes.

The primary cause of an F05 error is a blocked pump, and the first step to resolve it is to clear the pump’s filter, which can become obstructed with foreign objects and washing residue. If the filter is clear, the next step is to check the wastewater hose for blockages. If the issue persists, it is recommended to seek professional assistance. 

How to fix a F05 error on a Hotpoint washing machine

Firstly, check the drain pump and filter. An F05 error code is often due to a blocked pump. Clearing the pump’s filter is a messy job so prepare the area around your washing machine before clearing the drain.

Inspect the wastewater housing. Ensure there are no blockages in the wastewater housing. Additionally, check the waste pipe for any potential blockages or kinks.

If the error persists after performing these steps, it may be necessary to seek professional assistance or consider replacing the pump if it is found to be defective.

Map of areas covered

The video is about how to fix error code F05 on a Hotpoint or Indesit washing machine. Error code F05 means the washing machine cannot pump out waste water.

The video first explains what error code F05 looks like on a washing machine with a digital display. It then provides advice on what to do if your machine does not have a digital display.

The most common reason for error code F05 is a blockage in the waste water pump or hose. The video recommends checking the pump filter first. There is a separate video linked in the caption on how to clean out the washing machine’s water pump.

If cleaning the pump filter does not fix the problem, the next step is to check the waste water hose. The video advises that you only move the washing machine yourself if you can do so safely. It also provides tips on how to move the washing machine safely, such as sliding it onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard.

Once the washing machine is moved, you can check the waste water hose for kinks or obstructions. The video also recommends checking that the waste connections are secure and that the stand pipe is free of obstructions.

If you have tried everything mentioned in the video and are still getting the error code, then it is time to call out an engineer from Capital Repairs.
