Before checking a code
Match the exact brand, appliance type, and display code first. Stop if there is water near electrical parts, burning smell, or any visible damage.

Codes
OEError code
LG US front-load washer guidance documents OE as failure to drain; the code alone does not identify a failed part.
UEError code
LG US front-load washer guidance documents UE as an unbalanced load; check load distribution and stability before another spin.
IEError code
LG US front-load washer guidance documents IE as insufficient water within the allowed fill time; check the supply and visible hoses.
dEError code
Commonly logged when the washer door is not locking or closing as expected.
FEError code
Most LG sources describe FE as a warning that the washer is overfilling or detecting an abnormal water level.
PEError code
LG documents PE as a water-level or pressure-sensor detection warning; the supported recovery differs between front-load and top-load families.
LEError code
LG documents LE on front-load washers as a failure to spin that may follow overloading or a trapped object; the code alone does not diagnose a motor part.
CLError code
LG documents CL as Child Lock or Control Lock being enabled, rather than a diagnosed washer fault.
tEError code
Manufacturer guidance usually ties tE to a condition where the washer detected a heating or temperature sensor fault.
