If you’re encountering the “DE” error code on your LG washer, it typically indicates a problem with the door lock mechanism. The “DE” error, which stands for “Door Error,” occurs when the washer is unable to lock the door properly during the cycle. This can prevent the washer from operating correctly and may require attention to resolve the issue.
Common Causes of the “DE” Error:
- Door Lock Malfunction: The most common cause of the “DE” error is a malfunctioning door lock mechanism. This could be due to a faulty door latch or sensor, preventing the door from locking securely.
- Door Alignment Issues: Sometimes, the door may become misaligned or not close properly, triggering the “DE” error. Ensure that the door is properly aligned and closes securely before starting a cycle.
- Foreign Objects: Objects trapped in the door seal or around the door latch can prevent the door from locking properly, leading to the “DE” error. Check for any debris or obstructions and remove them if present.
