LG F1073TD – Felkoder & Felsökning

The AE error indicates the washing machine has detected an internal leak or anomaly in water containment, typically triggered by an overflow switch. The most common cause is water pooling in the base of the machine due to a leak in internal components or drain issues. Start by unplugging the unit, removing any pooled water from the base, and checking the drain hose and pump for blockages or damage.

The CE error indicates an overcurrent fault in the motor electrical circuit, typically caused by a short circuit in the motor windings, a faulty motor sensor, defective wiring, or a failed main control board. Start by unplugging the washer and checking all motor connections for damage or corrosion; if the error persists after a power cycle, the motor or PCB likely needs professional replacement.

The CL code indicates that the child lock safety feature is currently enabled on your LG washing machine. This feature disables the control panel buttons to prevent accidental changes to cycle settings during operation. To resolve this issue, simply press and hold the Child Lock button on your control panel until the CL indicator disappears.

The washing machine door is not locking properly or failing to close securely, preventing the wash cycle from starting. This is commonly caused by the door not being fully closed, debris blocking the latch, or a faulty door lock mechanism. Try closing the door firmly and checking for obstructions; if the error persists, reset the control board by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.

The dE1 error indicates the washing machine door is not closing properly or the door lock mechanism is not functioning. This is commonly caused by laundry caught in the door seal, a misaligned door latch, or a faulty door lock component. Start by checking for obstructions around the door and ensuring the door closes completely; if the problem persists after a power reset, the door latch or lock assembly may need replacement.

The dE2 error indicates the washing machine door is not locking properly, which prevents the cycle from starting. The most common causes are door obstructions, debris in the door seal, or a faulty door latch mechanism. Start by checking for obstructions around the door and seal, then try a power reset (unplug for 1 minute) before considering professional repair.

The E6 error indicates a problem with the clutch mechanism or drum rotation, typically occurring during the transition between wash and spin cycles. Common causes include objects stuck between the pulsator and tub, a faulty Hall sensor, or a failed diverter drive motor. Start by checking for debris under the pulsator, and try unplugging the machine for five minutes to reset; if the error persists, the Hall sensor or motor may need replacement.

The EE error code indicates either an unbalanced load detected by the load sensor or insufficient water supply to the drum within the expected time. The most common cause is clothes distributed unevenly or overloading the machine. Try redistributing the load evenly, removing some items, or unplugging the washer for 10 minutes to reset the control board.

The FE error indicates the washing machine has detected excessive water in the tub during the fill cycle. This is most commonly caused by a faulty water inlet valve that fails to close properly, a clogged drain pump filter preventing water from draining, or a defective water level sensor giving incorrect readings. Start by checking the drain filter for blockages and reducing detergent usage; if the problem persists, the inlet valve or pressure switch likely needs replacement.

The IE error indicates the washing machine failed to fill with adequate water within the expected time. Common causes include clogged inlet filters, kinked or pinched inlet hoses, low water pressure, or faulty water inlet valves. Start by checking that both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open, inspect inlet hoses for kinks or damage, and clean the inlet filters at the water connection points.

The LE error indicates the washing machine motor is locked, overloaded, or jammed and cannot spin properly. Common causes include an overloaded drum, foreign objects (coins, debris) caught between the drum and tub, or a faulty motor. Start by checking if the drum spins freely by hand and inspecting for any stuck items; if clear, the motor itself may need professional service.

The washing machine cannot drain water from the tub after the wash cycle. The most common causes are a clogged drain filter, kinked drain hose, or debris caught in the drain pump. Start by checking and cleaning the drain filter, inspecting the drain hose for kinks or blockages, and removing any foreign objects from the pump area.

The PE error indicates a fault with the pressure sensor system that monitors water levels inside the machine. This can result from a faulty pressure switch, disconnected wiring, or a clogged air trap tube. Start with a power reset and check that all sensor wiring connections are secure before considering component replacement.

The PF error indicates that the washing machine experienced a power failure or power surge during its cycle. This is typically caused by unstable home electrical power, circuit breaker trips, or loose power connections rather than a defect in the appliance itself. The first troubleshooting step is to unplug the machine for 5 minutes to reset it, then check your home's circuit breaker and power outlet for stability.

The PS error code indicates that the washing machine is not receiving the correct supply voltage, typically requiring 240V for proper operation. This is usually caused by an unstable power source, incorrect outlet wiring, or a miswired power cord connection. Check that your outlet provides consistent 240V using a multimeter and verify the power cord is properly connected to the terminal block.

The tCL code indicates that the washing machine's drum needs cleaning and is prompting you to run a tub clean cycle. This is a maintenance reminder, not an error or fault. Simply run the tub clean program (ideally with LG tub cleaner) to remove buildup and odors from the drum.

The washing machine's temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed or its electrical connection is broken, preventing the machine from detecting water temperature correctly. The most common cause is a faulty thermistor or a broken wire at the thermistor plug. Try a power restart first; if the error persists, the thermistor will likely need replacement.

The UE error occurs when laundry becomes piled on one side of the drum, preventing the washer from spinning properly even after the drum attempts to redistribute the load. The most common cause is an overloaded drum or clothes bunching to one side. As a first fix, stop the cycle, manually redistribute the clothes evenly around the drum, and restart.
