LG Washing Machine (Pedestal) dE2 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0–$80 · Duration: 2–5m

The dE2 error on your LG SideKick pedestal washer means the drawer is closed but failed to lock. If you hear an abnormal noise shortly after starting the cycle followed by dE2 it means the drawer closed but did not lock correctly. Turn the washer off, pull the drawer open, and close it firmly again. If dE2 persists after reclosing unplug the washer for 10 seconds, plug it back in, ensure the door is perfectly closed, and restart the cycle. If the error continues contact a qualified technician service.
