The LG washing machine shows a CE error code on the display when it stops working, which means the motor is overloaded.
The CE code on the display of the El G washing machine allows the user to detect the problem and try to fix it themselves. Let’s figure out how to fix the problem.
What to do to fix the error yourself
If you want to solve the problem at home, without calling the wizard, then try the available methods to fix the CE error.
How to fix the problem:
- The cause of the CE error on the display may be an overload of the motor. Due to the large amount of laundry in the tank, the engine is switched off. If the error code lights up in the “Wash” or “Spin” mode, stop the washer, remove some of the laundry.
- Unplug your LG washer from the mains for 10-15 minutes. If the cause was a failure of the electronic board, an error reset will occur. If the code pops up again, keep looking.
If you have tried all the recommendations, but your actions did not help to remove the error, then the machine needs repair.
What does CE mean: possible breakdowns and their repair
Having studied the signs and causes of a malfunction of the Lji SM, you can do the repair yourself.
- If, during washing and spinning, the CE code is on the display of the LG washing machine, while you hear a rumble, rumble and rattle, the bearing or oil seal has become unusable. Depending on the degree of destruction of the bearing, the error may burn on the “Wash” or “Spin” program. The bearing will need to be checked and replaced.
- A breakdown of the tachometer, which is responsible for the number of engine revolutions, is also accompanied by a twitching of the drum in El G’s direct drive washing machines. The machine shows the CE error code on the programs “Washing” – “Rinse” – “Spin”. It is required to check and replace the tachometer (tachogenerator).
- Check connectors, wiring from motor to controller. You may need to replace a burned-out wire or tighten the connection.
- The system gives an error in any of the modes, whether it is washing, rinsing or spinning. From the front panel, where the control unit is located, there is a smell of burning. This means a malfunction of the control unit. You need to check the module, if possible, clean the tracks and solder the damaged contacts. In case of a malfunction, the replacement of the unit will help.
If you have an LG direct drive machine, you may notice a characteristic twitching of the drum during operation. This behavior may indicate a problem with the motor stator or small objects between the tank and the drum.
In this case, the electric motor is checked and tested, it may be necessary to replace the stator.
Be careful when repairing an LG washing machine. Do not forget, the first thing to do is to disconnect the CM from the network.
