Common LG Error Codes
LG display codes vary by model year and appliance type. These are common codes our Ottawa technicians see on LG washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and microwaves. Use them as a starting point — not a final diagnosis — before booking service in Ottawa, Kanata, Stittsville, Nepean, Orleans, Barrhaven, and nearby areas.
These codes are a starting point, not a final diagnosis. If the code returns after one basic reset, it is safer to stop using the appliance and book a proper inspection.
LG Washer Error Codes
Drain, fill, balance, and door-lock faults are the most common LG washer calls we handle in Ottawa homes.
| Code | What it may mean | Safe check | When to call Fixer |
|---|---|---|---|
| OE | The washer is not draining correctly, or the control board does not see the water level dropping as expected during the drain step. | Confirm the drain hose is not kinked or pushed too far into the standpipe. Clean the drain pump filter if your model has an accessible filter. Do not keep restarting the cycle if water remains in the drum. | If the code comes back, Fixer can diagnose the drain pump, blockage, wiring, pressure system, and control-board output before parts are replaced unnecessarily. |
| IE / 1E | The washer is not filling with water at the rate the control board expects, or inlet flow is blocked or interrupted. | Confirm both hot and cold supply taps are fully open and inlet hoses are not kinked. Check inlet screens for sediment if you can access them safely. Pause the cycle and avoid forcing repeated starts. | If filling stays slow or the code returns, a technician can test inlet valves, water level pressure, wiring, and the control board rather than guessing at parts. |
| UE / uE | The load is unbalanced or the drum cannot reach spin speed safely. Heavy items on one side are a frequent cause. | Open the door, redistribute the load evenly, and remove very heavy single items if possible. Run a smaller test load before calling service. | If the code repeats on balanced loads, Fixer can check suspension, drum support, motor drive, and sensor feedback before the drive system is stressed further. |
| dE / dE1 / dE2 | The door lock is not engaging, not releasing, or the control board does not receive a confirmed locked-door signal. | Close the door firmly and make sure nothing is caught in the seal. Power off for one minute, then try again once. Do not force the door open while the lock is active. | If the door will not lock or unlock reliably, Fixer can test the door lock assembly, wiring harness, and control output safely. |
| LE | A motor, clutch, or drive-related fault is preventing normal drum movement. On some models this also relates to locked rotor or drive communication. | Stop the cycle, unplug the washer, and avoid repeated reset attempts. Check that the drum turns by hand only if your manual allows it — otherwise leave it for service. | Motor and drive faults need proper testing. Fixer can measure drive signals and inspect the motor, hall sensor, and related wiring before recommending replacement. |
| FE | The washer is overfilling or the control board detects too much water entering the tub for the selected cycle. | Turn off the water supply taps, cancel the cycle, and watch for active leaking at hoses or the door seal. Use the correct detergent amount for high-efficiency machines. | If overfill or leaking continues, book diagnosis for inlet valves, pressure sensing, drain path, and control-board logic before water damage spreads. |
| Sud / sUD | The washer detects too many suds or foam, often from too much detergent or non-HE detergent on a high-efficiency model. | Use HE detergent only, reduce the detergent amount, and run rinse and spin or a tub clean cycle if your model offers one. | If Sud or sUD returns without visible suds, Fixer can diagnose the drain path, pressure system, pump, sensor, wiring, or control-board output before parts are replaced unnecessarily. |
| PF | Power was interrupted or the washer detected an unstable power event during operation. | Restart once and confirm the outlet and breaker are stable. Note whether other appliances on the same circuit tripped. | If PF repeats, Fixer can check the outlet connection, wiring, control board, and power-related faults before parts are replaced unnecessarily. |

LG Dryer Error Codes
Vent restriction and airflow codes are especially common on LG electric dryers in Ottawa homes with long or blocked vent runs.
| Code | What it may mean | Safe check | When to call Fixer |
|---|---|---|---|
| d80 / d90 / d95 / Flow Sense / CL | The dryer is reporting restricted exhaust airflow, a clogged vent path, lint filter blockage, or a check-vent style warning. Higher d80–d95 numbers usually mean more blockage between the dryer and the outside vent cap. | Clean the lint filter, check that the outside vent flap opens when the dryer runs, and make sure the vent hose is not crushed or kinked behind the dryer. | If the warning returns after basic cleaning, Fixer can diagnose airflow restriction, the blower path, thermistors, the heater circuit, or control output before parts are replaced. |
| nP | The dryer does not detect the expected power configuration, or voltage supply is unstable for the selected heat setting. | Confirm the dryer plug is fully seated and the correct breaker pair is on. Avoid extension cords. Power off once, wait 60 seconds, then try a short timed dry. | If nP returns on a known-good outlet, Fixer can test supply voltage, terminal connections, and control-board power input before parts are replaced. |
| PF / PS | A power interruption or power-supply fault was detected during operation. The control may have lost consistent voltage. | Check whether other appliances on the same circuit tripped. Reset the breaker fully off then on. Run one short cycle and note whether the code appears at start or mid-cycle. | Repeated PF or PS codes often point to wiring, terminal, or control-board issues. A technician can confirm the real cause before the board is replaced. |
| tE1 / tE2 / tE3 | A thermistor or temperature sensor reading is out of range. Heat may shut off to protect the dryer. | Clean the lint filter and confirm strong exhaust airflow. Do not bypass sensors or run the dryer unattended while this code is active. | Fixer can test thermistor resistance, wiring, and heater circuit control rather than replacing sensors by guesswork. |
| HS | Humidity or moisture sensing is out of expected range. On some models this relates to steam or moisture detection in the cabinet. | Wipe moisture from the door area, confirm the lint filter and vent path are clear, and avoid steam-dry settings until a basic timed cycle runs cleanly once. | If HS persists, book service to test humidity sensors, wiring, and control-board inputs. |
| dE | The door is not closed properly or the door switch does not confirm a safe closed position before heat or tumble. | Close the door firmly and check for clothing caught in the seal. Power cycle once. Do not operate the dryer if the door feels loose. | Fixer can test the door switch, latch, and related wiring before heat circuits are used again. |

LG Dishwasher Error Codes
Fill, drain, leak, and heating faults are the LG dishwasher codes Ottawa customers ask about most often.
| Code | What it may mean | Safe check | When to call Fixer |
|---|---|---|---|
| IE / 1E | The dishwasher is not filling within the time the control board allows, or inlet flow is too low. | Confirm the water supply tap under the sink is fully open and the inlet hose is not kinked. Cancel the cycle and avoid stacking repeated starts. | If filling stays slow, Fixer can test the inlet valve, float or pressure switch, wiring, and control output. |
| OE | Water is not draining from the tub at the expected rate. A blocked filter or drain path is a common contributor. | Remove and rinse the bottom filter assembly if your model allows. Check the sink drain connection and garbage disposal knockout. Do not run another cycle with standing water in the tub. | If water remains after basic cleaning, a technician can inspect the drain pump, hose routing, and control signals. |
| AE / E1 | A leak or overflow condition was detected. The dishwasher may stop to limit water damage. | Turn off the water supply under the sink, cancel the cycle, and dry visible water at the door and base. Check the door seal for debris. | Active leak codes should be diagnosed promptly. Fixer can trace fill valves, hose connections, pump seals, and tub integrity. |
| HE | The heating circuit did not reach the expected temperature during wash or dry stages. | Use a normal hot-water cycle and confirm hot water at the kitchen tap first. Avoid running heated dry repeatedly while the code is present. | Heater, thermostat, and control-board faults need proper testing. Fixer can check the heating circuit safely on electric dishwashers. |
| FE | The dishwasher detected overfill or excess water entering the tub beyond normal limits. | Shut off the water supply, cancel the cycle, and watch for active inlet leaking. Use the recommended detergent amount. | If overfill continues, book diagnosis for inlet valves, float or pressure sensing, and drain function. |
| LE | A motor, wash pump, or drive communication fault is preventing normal spray or drain motor operation. | Stop the cycle and unplug the dishwasher. Listen for humming without spray movement — that suggests a motor or obstruction issue. | Fixer can test motor windings, pump obstructions, and control-board drive output before parts are replaced. |
| tE | The dishwasher is not reading water temperature correctly during wash or dry stages. | Reset power once at the breaker. Confirm hot water is available at the kitchen tap before starting a cycle. | If tE returns, Fixer can diagnose the thermistor, wiring, heater circuit, and control-board input before parts are replaced. |
| bE | The dishwasher may detect a leveling, foam, or control input issue depending on model. | Use dishwasher detergent only, check for excess foam in the tub, and make sure the dishwasher is not visibly tilted. | If bE returns, Fixer can diagnose the sensor, control panel, wiring, or water-level system before parts are replaced unnecessarily. |

LG Refrigerator Error Codes
Fan, defrost, and sensor codes are common on LG fridges in Ottawa. Fixer diagnoses electrical, fan, sensor, drain, and control-board issues on electric refrigerators — not sealed-system refrigerant repairs.
| Code | What it may mean | Safe check | When to call Fixer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Er IF | The ice maker fan or ice compartment fan may not be running correctly, reducing cooling in the ice zone or freezer section. | Confirm the ice maker is not jammed with frost and that freezer drawers are not blocking vents. Allow the door to stay closed for several hours after a reset. | If ice production or freezer cooling stays weak, Fixer can test the fan motor, wiring, and control-board signal. |
| Er FF | The freezer fan may not be running correctly, or frost buildup may be blocking air movement through the freezer section. | Make sure the freezer door closes fully and food is not blocking air vents. Avoid leaving the door open during loading. | If cooling is weak or the code returns, Fixer can test the fan motor, sensor, wiring, defrost system, and control-board signal. If the issue points to sealed-system refrigerant repair, Fixer will explain the finding but does not perform sealed-system refrigerant repairs. |
| Er CF | The condenser fan may not be running as expected. Poor heat rejection can affect overall cooling performance. | Pull the fridge slightly forward if safe and confirm nothing is blocking the rear vent area. Clean visible dust from the condenser area only if you can do so without disassembling panels. | If the code returns, Fixer can test the condenser fan motor, wiring, and control output. Sealed-system refrigerant work is not performed by Fixer. |
| Er dH / F dH | A defrost system fault or extended defrost condition was detected. Frost may build up behind the evaporator cover on some models. | Keep the doors closed and avoid manual chipping at ice inside the freezer. Note whether fresh frost returns quickly after a power cycle. | Fixer can test defrost heaters, sensors, fuses, and control-board defrost logic. If cooling loss suggests sealed-system failure, we will explain options without performing refrigerant repairs. |
| Er FS / Er rS | A freezer or refrigerator temperature sensor reading is out of expected range, so the control may not regulate cooling correctly. | Confirm vents are clear and doors seal properly. Avoid stuffing warm food in large batches while troubleshooting. | Sensor and wiring faults need meter testing. Fixer can confirm whether the sensor, harness, or control board is at fault. |
| Er CO | A communication fault between control boards or modules was detected. Cooling behavior may be unpredictable. | Power off for two minutes, then restore power once. Avoid repeated door alarm resets if the display keeps flashing errors. | Communication faults require structured diagnosis. Fixer can test board connections and power feeds before recommending a control replacement. |
| OFF / Demo Mode | Cooling may be disabled while the display still works, often because the refrigerator is in demo or cooling-off mode. | Check your manual or control panel for the demo-mode button combination and confirm cooling starts again. | If cooling does not restart or temperatures keep rising, Fixer can diagnose fans, sensors, defrost parts, wiring, and control-board output. If diagnosis points to sealed-system refrigerant repair, Fixer will explain the finding but does not perform sealed-system refrigerant repairs. |

LG Freezer Error Codes
Exact LG freezer codes vary by model. These patterns cover fan, sensor, defrost, and temperature alarm faults Fixer sees in Ottawa — electrical diagnosis only, not sealed-system refrigerant repair. Messages may appear as Er-style codes or as model-specific warnings.
| Code | What it may mean | Safe check | When to call Fixer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Er FF / freezer fan issue | The freezer evaporator fan may not be spinning correctly, so cold air may not circulate through the freezer compartment. | Listen for fan noise after closing the door. Keep vents clear and confirm the door gasket seals along the full frame. | If temperatures rise or the code returns, Fixer can test the fan motor, wiring, and control-board output. Sealed-system refrigerant repairs are not performed by Fixer. |
| Er FS / freezer sensor issue | The freezer temperature sensor may be reading outside normal limits, causing the control to shut cooling or trigger an alarm. | Avoid blocking the sensor area with packed frozen goods. Allow the freezer to stabilize for several hours after adjusting the temperature setting once. | Fixer can diagnose sensor readings and wiring before replacing parts. Sealed-system refrigerant repairs are not performed. |
| Er dH / F dH / defrost issue | The automatic defrost cycle may not be completing, leading to frost buildup on coils behind the liner. | Do not chip ice with tools inside the freezer. Note whether frost returns quickly on the rear wall. | Fixer can test defrost heaters, bi-metal devices, and control-board defrost scheduling on electric freezers. Sealed-system refrigerant repairs are not performed. |
| Temperature alarm / door warning | The freezer detected a temperature rise or a door-left-open condition long enough to affect food safety. | Close the lid or door firmly and confirm the alarm silences. Check gasket condition and that the unit is not overfilled. | If alarms repeat on a closed door or temperatures stay warm, book inspection for door switches, sensors, fans, and control logic. |

LG Microwave Error Codes
Microwave faults can involve high voltage inside the cabinet even when unplugged. Fixer provides professional electric microwave service — not DIY internal repair.
| Code | What it may mean | Safe check | When to call Fixer |
|---|---|---|---|
| F3 | A key panel or touchpad communication fault may be preventing normal input to the control board. | Wipe the panel dry, unplug for one minute, and try again once. Do not remove the cover or touch internal components. | If keys stay unresponsive, Fixer can diagnose the touch panel, control board, and wiring safely. |
| F4 | A humidity or moisture sensor on the control surface may be reading out of range, often after steam or spills. | Dry the exterior thoroughly and leave the door open briefly to vent moisture. Avoid spraying cleaners into button edges. | If F4 returns on a dry panel, book service to test sensors and control inputs — not a homeowner repair. |
| SE / 5E | A stuck key, keypad fault, or touch-control signal problem is preventing normal input to the control board. | Wipe the panel clean and dry, unplug for one minute, and try again once. Do not remove the cover or touch internal components. | If keys stay unresponsive or the code returns, Fixer can diagnose the touch panel, keypad, control board, and wiring safely. Microwave internal components can hold dangerous high voltage even when unplugged. |
| PF | A power fault or interruption was detected. The control may have lost consistent voltage during operation. | Confirm the outlet works for another small appliance and reset the breaker once. Run a 10-second test with a cup of water only. | Repeated PF codes may indicate supply or control-board issues. Internal microwave components can hold dangerous high voltage even when unplugged — leave testing to a technician. |
| Door / Open | The microwave believes the door is open when heat or cook functions are requested. | Inspect the door hooks and latch area for food debris. Close the door firmly once and avoid slamming. | If the display still shows a door fault, Fixer can test door switches and latch alignment. Do not open the cabinet — capacitors can retain high voltage. |
| F1 | A control-board or relay control signal problem was detected. | Reset power once at the breaker or unplug for one minute, then restore once. | If F1 returns, microwave internal diagnosis should be handled by a technician because high-voltage parts can remain dangerous even when unplugged. |
| F2 | A temperature or sensor-related fault was detected depending on model. | Reset power once and make sure the microwave cavity is clean and dry. | Fixer can diagnose sensor circuits, wiring, and control-board faults safely. Do not open the microwave cabinet. |
| F6 | A control communication or relay-control issue was detected depending on model. | Reset power once. Note whether the display is blank, frozen, or unresponsive to buttons. | If F6 returns, Fixer can diagnose the control panel, wiring, and board communication safely. Do not open the microwave cabinet. |
