LG Washing Machine (Top Load) PE error code

Difficulty: Medium · Cost: $0–$150 · Duration: 5m

The PE error on your LG top load washing machine means the pressure sensor is having trouble detecting the water level. This is sometimes caused by moisture in the air in a humid installation environment. Unplugging the washer for 5 minutes and reconnecting usually resolves a temporary PE error. If it recurs the washer will need a service inspection.

  • Washer is installed in a humid room causing moisture interference with the sensor

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Unplug the power cord from the washer

  2. 2

    Wait 5 minutes

  3. 3

    Reconnect the power cord and continue using the washer

  4. 4

    If the PE error appears again contact a qualified technician service for a sensor inspection
