The PE error code in an LG washing machine typically indicates a problem with the water pressure sensor or the water level sensor. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the PE error:
Check the water supply: Ensure that the water supply to the washing machine is turned on and that there is sufficient water pressure. Make sure the water hoses are not kinked or clogged. Clean or replace the inlet filters if they are dirty or obstructed.
Inspect the water level sensor hose: The water level sensor uses a hose to detect the water level in the machine. Check if the hose is properly connected, not damaged, and free from blockages. Gently blow into the hose to clear any potential obstructions.
Reset the machine: Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source. Leave it unplugged for a few minutes to reset the control board. Plug it back in and restart the machine to see if the error persists.
Run a diagnostic cycle: Some LG washing machines have a diagnostic mode that can help identify specific issues. Refer to the user manual for your specific model to learn how to access the diagnostic mode. Run the diagnostic cycle and observe if any error codes are displayed or if it provides additional information about the problem.
Contact customer support: If the PE error persists after attempting the above steps, it may be necessary to contact LG customer support or a qualified appliance technician. They can provide further guidance and assistance in resolving the issue or arrange for a service visit if needed.
Remember, these steps are general guidelines, and the exact troubleshooting process may vary depending on your specific LG washing machine model. Always refer to the user manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions related to your appliance.
