Start with the full model number: front-load and top-load LG washers can use different code lists and cleaning procedures. Record the code and the point in the cycle when it appears.

OE: not draining

Inspect the visible drain hose for kinks. Clean a pump filter only if your model has one intended for owner access. Switch off and unplug safely, let the water cool and drain it by the manual’s method before opening the filter. A persistent OE may involve installation, the pump or another fault; replacement is not established by the code alone.

IE: not filling

Check that the required supply taps are open and visible hoses are not crushed. Close the tap and isolate power before any manual-approved inlet-screen cleaning. Do not move the machine alone to reach a connection.

UE / uE: load balance

After the drum stops and the door unlocks, separate tangled items and adjust the load to the programme limit. Repeated imbalance with normal loads merits inspection of levelling and suspension; do not adjust internal parts yourself.

LE, dE and PE

LE relates to rotation or motor operation, but its checks vary by model. Follow the specified rest/reset procedure rather than repeated restarts. For dE, remove trapped clothing and close the door gently. PE concerns water-level sensing and needs professional assessment if persistent.

When to stop

Stop for leaks near electrics, burning smells, damaged wiring or repeated breaker trips. Never bypass the door lock. Send the exact code and model label when requesting LG washer repair. Abu Dhabi options are also listed.

Sources and scope

This is an editorial guide to owner checks, not a diagnosis of your appliance or a report of a repair we performed. Models and regions differ; your appliance manual and warranty terms take priority. Internal electrical, gas and sealed-system work requires an appropriately qualified professional.
