For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

F35 is a water level error.
The water level switch (pressure switch) has malfunctioned.

If you remove the top panel, three screws in the back, you will have access to the pressure switch.

With the tub empty, remove the vinyl hose from the switch and blow backwards through the hose to clear any restrictions.

If the fault codes return after doing this, you will likely need to replace the pressure switch.


Also - please be sure to use He soap.

The LG error code OE simply means "the pump is blocked". Presumably the water isn't being emptied properly. As with all error codes it is possible that there is a cause other than the exact description in the error code explanation but basically this error means as far as the washing machine is concerned it thinks the water isn't pumping out. A pump, or filter blockage is the most common cause but it could be caused by other faults such as a faulty pump, or even a blockage in the drain hose or somewhere else in the system etc.


LG themselves have some information on this error code..

Hi

The washer must be empty and the controls must be in the off state.
1. Press the SPIN SPEED and SOIL LEVEL buttons simultaneously.
2. Press the Power button, while the above condition. Then buzzer will sound twice.
3. Press the Start/Pause button repeatedly to cycle through the test modes.
a. Press 7 times to check whether Inlet valve for steam turns on.
b. Press 13 times to check whether Water level Sensor for Steam is working.
c. Press 14 times to check whether Steam Heater turns on for 1.2 sec.
If the diagnostics fail at step a then steam water valve is faulty. If it fails at step b then water level sensor is faulty, and if fails at step c then it is the steam heater which is faulty. Hope this helps... If it does please do not forget to accept the solution or post back for assistance.

try unplugging/plugging unit in. this may reset. if not, the door lock switch module is failing.

High Efficiency detergent from Sears.

THAT THING RARELY GO BAD. CHECK THE CONNECTIONS ON IT FIRST. UNPLUG AND PLUG CONNECTOR IN FEW TIMES. WHILE YOU DOWN THERE, PULL IT OUT COMPLETELY AND SEE IF IT COVERED WITH SOAP SCUM, GUNK, ETC. THAT WILL GIVE YOU FALSE READINGS AND GIVE YOU AN ERROR CODE FOR THE THERMISTOR

The Te code means Broken Thermistor. You need to replace the thermistor. You will need to get a service person out to replace it.

Good Luck

how long does it run really the steam cycle is like more than 2 hours

The LG error code OE simply means “the pump is blocked”. Presumably the water isn’t being emptied properly.A pump, or filter blockage is the most common cause but it could be caused by other faults such as a faulty pump, or even a blockage in the drain hose or somewhere else in the system etc.

Clean and straighten the drain hose / clean the drain filter.

comes from the powder/liquid soap use..no solutions,,sorry,, claen after use allways dry

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} A lot of machines can suffer from this problem. It is usually down to a bacteria build up between the drum and the tub. The majority of appliances that suffer form this have been used mainly on 40 degree washes and with a biological detergent.
The best way to get rid of this smell is to place two tablespoons of washing soda or soda crystals in the detergent drawer and then run the appliance empty on the 90 degree wash. You may have to repeat this treatment several times before the smell goes but it will go eventually. Hope you've cleaned out your filter.
You can give me a ‘very helpful’ rating for the free help, can't you. Thanks.

You don't have to worry about any reset button when replacing a PCB because there's no such thing as reset button on LG washers provided you have the right part number as suggested by LG. Simply snap in the PCB then all systems go. Just make sure to unplug the washer prior to servicing to avoid getting electrocuted.

Disconnect the wires from the old PCB one at a time then connect it to the new one to avoid messing up the wires.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. To start with check the inlet hose and connect it firmly to prevent leaks and then check the air vent pipe which is located at the back of the unit. Also check the door gasket from the front with a flashlight, you can even check for leaks by running your fingers across the gasket. This is a common issue if you are using HE detergent or too much of normal detergent. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks
