LG Washing Machine (Wash Tower) FE error code

Difficulty: Medium · Cost: $0–$200 · Duration: 15–20m

The FE error on your LG WashTower washer means too much water is being supplied to the tub. This can be caused by the water level sensor malfunctioning due to excessive suds from using too much detergent or the wrong detergent type. It can also be caused by a clogged hose connected to the water level sensor or a clogged drain filter. Always use HE high-efficiency detergent in the recommended amounts.
