How to clear LG Washing machine error code dE?

The dE error code on an LG washing machine is indicating the washer door was not able to properly lock the door. This signifies 3 different issues that may be causing the dE error code.

The LG washing machine dE error code indicates the washing machine cannot lock the washer door.
Here are 3 reasons why the washing machine door was unable to lock:

– The door is not aligned properly.

– The washing machine door was not closed properly.

– The washing machine’s door latch may be faulty.

Here is what to check and clear the dE error code:

1 – Press the POWER button to turn washer OFF.

2 – Remove the washing machine from power.

3 – Press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 5 to 10 seconds.

4 – Apply power to the washing machine.

5 – Turn the unit back on by pressing the POWER button.

6 – Open and Close the washer door, making sure the door has latched.

7 – Select a wash cycle and press START/PAUSE to test the washer.

To be sure the dE error code does not come back:

– DO NOT put weight on the washing machine door when open.

– Pushing on the door when OPEN can BEND the door hinge therefore not letting it shut or close properly.

– The washing machine drum should not be packed with clothing which could cause the door out of alignment.

– Put clothing far into the washer drum so no parts of the clothing are trapped between the door and outside the door.
