LG Washing Machine (Pedestal) FE error code

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

The FE error on your LG SideKick pedestal washer means the unit is overfilling with water. This is usually caused by a faulty water valve that is not closing properly. Close both water taps immediately. To drain the trapped water power the SideKick back on, press the Spin Speed button until no spin is selected, then press START/PAUSE. Once drained restart the washing cycle. If FE recurs the inlet valve likely needs replacing — contact a qualified technician service.
