LG Washing Machines, Drying Machines and Washer Dryers will display various error codes when things out of the ordinary happen. The table below is a quick and simple way to figure out what a particular error code means and what the likely resolution is for that code.
| Error Code | Description | Resolution(s) |
|---|---|---|
| dE1 | Door Open Error | Close the door or open/close door firmly |
| dE2 | Door Closed But Not Locking Error | Open/close door firmly |
| UE | Unbalance Error | Rearrange load Add another item (heavy item?) to balance the load Make sure the machine is level |
| DE | Drain Error | Clean the drain filter |
| CL | Child Lock On | Disable Child lock. Look for the Child lock button and hold it until the child lock is switched off |
| Cd | Cooling Down | Not an error as such. The machine is finished its cycle but is cooling down while it waits for you. You can press and hold any button to unlock the door |
| IE | Washer unable to fill with water | Water inlet screen needs cleaning, or hose is kinked |
| OE | Washer is unable to drain the water it used during the wash cycle | Check for kinked drain hose |
| t CL | Tub Clean Cycle | You need to run the Tub Clean Cycle |

Thanks! Helped me to sort a problem with my washing machine
How can I set up my LG washing machine
Thanks you so much 😊😊😊
I recently purchased a new LG washer & dryer, could really use a guide to help me get started with my new toy!! Im loving it!!!
If pressing the Pause / start button doesn’t work then i run a spin cycle for 15 mins after the Drying cycle when i want to open the door of the washer/ dryer.
WHAT IS THE LE ERROR CODE?
not LE. It’s. I (eye) E.
Water inlet screen needs cleaning, or hose is kinked
Thank you. That just came up on my machine, it wasn’t listed with other codes on this site. So glad you had asked this.
I wish it was as simple, load error most likely means load sensor on drum needs replacing
The filter seems to be punctured, Where can I get a replacement filter?
Load Error
Most likely the load sensor on drum needs replacing
My mashine keep on showing IE.whats the problem please
make sure drain hose is set up correctly
I have no child lock button
Same here. My dryer is stuck with the CL code. How do I disable this “child lock?”
Look for a button with “Child Lock” as a second function, so main function in large text, but “Child Lock” in smaller / faded letters? On one machine I know of this is the “Rinse +” button.
My washer is coming up with the error code OE. What does this mean ?
Drain Error
OE Means it is unable to drain water. For example if the drainage hose has a kink.
What do you have to do if there is no kink in the drain hose??
Did you get a response cause I’m having this same problem
Same, I think it’s the pump, it’s not making any attempt to drain the water
You have to open the little swivel hatch/door located near the base of the machine, drain the water left in the drum through the small rubber drain hose by removing its bung/plug, remove the filter by unscrewing it from the drain outlet of the machine, and remove any lint or other loose items such as coins (forgotten in pockets for instance), buttons, etc that may have clogged the filter. Replace filter, and restart.
Thank you so much for your advice, did what you said with the filter and that sorted it out!
Same with mine. Can’t solve the problem
Make sure drain outlet is above the washer into a sink or drain hole.
What is the code dl and dE
tE1, tE2, tE3 – chyba termického čidla – nutná výměna, součástka se pohybuje do 300,- Kč, ale je nutno v mnohých případech rozebrat půlku sušky. Zobrazením této chyby může být i přerušen vodič ve svazku nebo studený spoj na konektorech. Pro šikovné kutily práce na cca hodinu. NENÍ NUTNO VYHAZOVAT CELOU ŠUŠKU !!! Z důvodu úspory času, servisáci často hlásí tento problém za neopravitelný.
