Covered records
LG Washer CL: LG documents CL as Child Lock or Control Lock being enabled, rather than a diagnosed washer fault.LG Washer dE: Commonly logged when the washer door is not locking or closing as expected.LG Washer FE: Most LG sources describe FE as a warning that the washer is overfilling or detecting an abnormal water level.LG Washer IE: LG US front-load washer guidance documents IE as insufficient water within the allowed fill time; check the supply and visible hoses.LG Washer LE: 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.LG Washer OE: LG US front-load washer guidance documents OE as failure to drain; the code alone does not identify a failed part.LG Washer PE: LG documents PE as a water-level or pressure-sensor detection warning; the supported recovery differs between front-load and top-load families.LG Washer tE: Manufacturer guidance usually ties tE to a condition where the washer detected a heating or temperature sensor fault.LG Washer UE: LG US front-load washer guidance documents UE as an unbalanced load; check load distribution and stability before another spin.

Read front-load LE overload/foreign-object guidance, five-minute temporary-error retry and service boundary, plus the separate top-load AE/LE/LE1 section. Removed a borrowed door-latch check and generic cooling pause. Explicitly attributed the site’s stricter no-tools/one-attempt boundaries and kept LE1 context separate; no failed motor part is selected. No technician, hands-on or native-language approval.AI-assisted source review: Rechecked front-load scope, drain hose/filter guidance and the separately cited spin-only pump test. Added the specific OE article that supports the timed listening check.AI-assisted source review: Rechecked IE/E02/E10 water-inlet section, tap and visible-hose checks, filter-access limits and escalation. No exact model or failed valve is inferred.AI-assisted source review: Rechecked the front-load UE section, unsuitable or uneven loads, load size and leveling. The separately sourced top-load uE/UE sequence remains a different context.AI-assisted source review: Check extra water through the dispenser; the source does not isolate a failed valve, sensor or board.AI-assisted source review: Different closing/locking states, the power-off Start/Pause reset and service when persistent.AI-assisted source review: Drain-hose and filter checks, one monitored spin test and escalation if the code returns.AI-assisted source review: Fill timing, water supply, hose and inlet-screen context for front-load washers.AI-assisted source review: Load distribution, load size and leveling; no failed balance sensor is established by the display.Verified against LG front-load and top-load washer error-code pages that document LE/LE1 motor-rotation behavior.Verified LG tE against official LG washer and top-load washer error-code pages.https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-front-load-washer-how-to-enable-or-disable-cl--20154720485442Cited by reviewed records: CL.Latest record verification: 2026-10-26.AI-assisted individual read of the official LG articles, including separately scoped control procedures.

Coverage gaps
- Exact model-family pages remain gated until an official or manual-backed source supports the model-specific wording.
- Parts and service handoffs are not shown as recommendations until the source context is strong enough.
How this guide should be used
- Use the source links to verify the original manufacturer context.
- Check model notes before treating a display code as universal.
- Prefer safe first checks before any disassembly or parts decision.
Current limitations
- Manufacturer guidance can differ by model family and region.
- Alias/display variants are only added when the source supports them.
- Manual-backed model detail is planned but not bulk-generated.
