LG Washing Machine (Pedestal) E7 error code

Difficulty: Medium · Cost: $0–$150 · Duration: 10–15m

The E7 error on your LG SideKick pedestal washer means the stacking switch is not working correctly or the SideKick is not properly installed and aligned under its matching LG front load washer. The SideKick cannot be used by itself — it must be installed under a compatible LG front load washer and must never be installed under a dryer. Check the alignment and the stacking switch position.

Common causes

The SideKick is not properly aligned under the LG front load washer
The stacking switch on the bottom back left of the unit is not sitting correctly
The SideKick is installed under an incompatible washer or a dryer

How to fix it

1

Make sure the SideKick is properly lined up under the LG front load washer
2

Check that the bottom back left stacking switch piece is sitting correctly in its position
3

Verify that the SideKick is installed under a compatible LG front load washer only — it cannot be used standalone or under a dryer
4

If the stacking switch is correctly positioned and E7 persists contact a qualified technician service
