LG Washing Machine: How to Clear an Error

How to Clear an Error on Your LG Washing Machine

Many modern appliances display a message when a technical error occurs. LG washing machines also have this feature. You can clear the error message yourself.

• First, determine what the displayed error means. You can resolve some issues on your own, but for others, you should definitely consult a professional. Only once the problem has been resolved can you clear the error message.
• To clear the error, turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the outlet. Wait a few minutes before plugging the machine back in. Then turn the machine back on.
• Now press the Start/Pause button or the On/Off button for several seconds until the display begins to flash and the error disappears. Then turn the machine off again and unplug it. When you plug the machine back in and turn it on after a few minutes, the error should be cleared.

Here’s what you can do if you can’t clear the error on your LG washing machine

Clearing an error on an LG washing machine is usually very easy. However, identifying and fixing the underlying cause can be a challenge for those without technical expertise.

• If the error cannot be cleared using the method described above, the problem has likely not yet been resolved. Check whether the source of the error has actually been eliminated and, if necessary, call a professional for help.
• Depending on the model of your LG washing machine, the process for clearing the error may differ from the method described above. That’s why you should always keep the user manual for your appliance in a safe place. Customer service can also help you.
• Electricity and water are a dangerous combination. For this reason, as a layperson, you should under no circumstances attempt to repair the electrical or electronic components yourself. Doing so could result in significant damage and pose health risks. Especially if your appliance is still under warranty, be sure to contact customer service.
