- Make sure the washer is level and the load balanced.

FAQ
FAQs about LG Washing Machines
Can child lock make my LG washer seem dead?
Yes. If CL or a lock icon is shown, the buttons are intentionally locked. The release method varies by model—usually holding a specific button for a few seconds.
What does OE mean on an LG washer?
It's a drain error: the washer couldn't drain within the expected time. See the OE code page for details.
Why does my LG washer spin sometimes and not others?
Usually load distribution differs between washes. Very small loads or single heavy items are hardest to balance.
Can a rooftop tank affect my LG washer?
Yes. Low pressure from a rooftop tank can make the washer fill slowly and trigger IE. Sometimes the fix is plumbing, not the washer.
How do I know my LG washer isn't heating?
Clothes and glass stay completely cold on a 60° program, tE appears, or greasy stains no longer come out.
It only leaks during spin—why?
Likely the drain hose, pump or an internal joint stressed by vibration. Note where the water appears.
