The LG washing machine has stopped working normally: it stops in the middle of the washing program, it constantly drains water after a set. On the display, the CM shows the error FE.
The El G washing machine without a display gives an error by flashing or glowing the “Prewash” – “Main wash” indicators. Additionally, the lamps for choosing products and fabrics are lit: a blanket (bulk items), wool, synthetics.
What does this mean?
How to understand the code
Please note that the FE error code in the LG washing machine displays both during water intake and in the rinsing or washing mode. What does the fault code mean: the system signals that the washer tank is filled with water to capacity, or the water has reached the maximum allowable rate.
What to do and how to fix the problem? First you need to find the reason for issuing the FE code.
Causes of the malfunction and solutions to the problem
At home, you can take steps to reset the Lji washing machine. This method allows you to exclude the failure of the electronic board and reset the error.
Remove the plug from the outlet by turning off the power to the LG machine for 15-20 minutes. After connecting, check if the fault code FE is lit again. If so, move on.
The cause of the FE error may be excessive foaming during washing. This is possible if you loaded too light lacy underwear (tablecloths, tulles) or filled the tank in excess of the norm.
Do not lose sight of a powder that is spoiled or not suitable for machine washing. How to fix the situation:
- Stop washing and empty the tub manually.
- Empty the laundry tank. Let the LG typewriter dry for a day.
If these measures do not solve the problem, the LG CM needs to be repaired. Characteristic signs will help determine the causes of the malfunction. Then you will understand – it is worth fixing the problem with your own hands or calling the master.
Possible breakdowns with an FE error
Let’s consider what malfunctions precede the issuance of an FE error code, and options for their elimination:
- It is possible that the water inlet valve is faulty. Over time, the valve can lose flexibility, its springs weaken, which allows water to seep through it. As a result, it forms an overflow, the system gives an FE error, and the LG washing machine either fills in or drains water. The only solution is to change the intake valve.
- SM LG started washing clothes, then drained the water. After that, she stopped completely, or leads a constant set of water. The display showed FE. The reason is a malfunction of the pressure switch, which monitors the water level in the tank. Check its tube at the time of blockage, rinse if necessary under a tap. If everything is fine, you need to change the pressure switch itself.
- If the control unit malfunctions, you will notice: the machine has stopped or full of water, or empty, after draining. FE error is lit on the display. This can happen during laundry or rinsing. It is important to inspect the control board, if possible, repair burnt-out elements or replace the control unit.
- Check the wiring between the controller on the control board and the pressure switch. Maybe the connections are broken, or the wires are frayed. SM will display the code when washing or rinsing, after which it will no longer start. Inspect the wiring, isolate damaged areas. If this is not possible, replace the cable.
Do not forget to follow the safety precautions when repairing the machine. By following the recommendations, you can remove the error.
