DE error code in the LG washing machine

When you start the device with an LCD, a DE error is signaled on the screen. This means that no matter what program operation such a failure occurred in, one result - the hatch of the washing machine is not blocked, i.e. not closed (automation does not fix the lock).

When a screen is not provided in the unit by the manufacturer, such a malfunction will be signaled by the simultaneous flashing of all indicator lights responsible for changing the temperature regime, washing program, and also the rinsing process.

Meaning of Breakdown Abbreviation

DTC DE - This porthole of the device is not locked.

Repair Procedures

• Maybe some foreign object does not allow hermetically closing the porthole. The rubber cuffs turned out, “bite”, so there is no way to tightly close the door before playing a kind of click.
• Between the gum and the hatch, it is necessary to exclude the presence of foreign objects, the latch must enter the lock without additional effort and resistance. If you find something, then you need to eliminate the foreign body, and then re-viewport.
• Examine the condition of the device door mounts. They should not hang out and have a skew. The porthole must go into the groove and close. If there is any distortion it needs to be eliminated.
• It is necessary to open and re-close the door. After this procedure, the stopped washing process may begin.
• If the automation failed, then to eliminate it, disconnect the power from the mains. After that, try again and restart the machine.
