FE Code for model WM1812CW LG Washer

When starting a normal wash cycle the machine will overfill with hot water even when cold water is selected. It fills 1/3 of the way up the clear window in the front door. If left to run the water will leak out from under the washer and once through the bottom of the front door. If we see the over filling and shut off the hot water it seems to continue the timer and will resume the wash. I can turn the hot water back on and it will complete the wash. It also displays "FE" on the display. Any help would be appreciated.

SOURCE: Maytag performa washer hot water runs continuously

dudett, uplug the washer and turn the water valves on. If the washer is filling with the washer unplugged the valve is bad. Part number 22001196. Not a hard job. If you need help installing, just e-mail the cat here at [email protected] Catriver..post back.

Littleone.. please check your instructions.. some washers now dont need Hot water connection to them...they heat their own as part of the efficiency settings on the wash programmes themselves!

SOURCE: fisher and paykel water leak

Code F1 indicates that Flood switch has been
activated which explain why you feel that it is overfilling.

Drain hose disconnected
from waste pipe.
Reconnect the drain hose to the waste pipe.

SOURCE: washer will not fill with cold water during cycle

it sounds like your mixture valve is faulty on the cold water side. that is the valve where you screw the hose ends on. it needs to be replaced you can purchase one at your local sears, be sure to take your make and model number with you

LG WASHER WM2487HRMA FE CODE

Yes, it's one of the water valves. Try a cold water only wash and see if it is error free. If yes then the hot water valve is issue. Good luck.

Why on an LG Front loader does the FE code come on and not on Rinse & Spin?

Here is the LG site for washing machine error codes, you can scroll down and find the FE code there:
http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000010-20150140270078-other-error-codes

The site shows the following:

The FE error code indicates the washer is overfilling. This is usually the result of a faulty water valve.

1. Close both water taps.

2. In order to drain out any trapped water, power the washer back on and press the Spin Speed button until No Spin is selected and press the Start/Pause button.

3. Once the washer has drained, restart the wash cycle.

Lg model lds5540 smells, will not clean properly and doesn't seem to have enough water during cycle. also occasionally shows the fe error code. ??? any thoughts?

WATER OVER FLOW ERROR // Water continuing to enter machine
The manufacturer has assigned this error or fault code to indicate that the washer is overfilling due to a defective water inlet valve. The valve is not repairable and will need to be replaced.You can check it with a multimeter to confirm, it should show continuity on both hot and cold pins. try exchanging the how and cold water hoses, cold on hot and hot on cold, see what happens. have u tried running only cold water or hot water wash? as for the smell could be a build up of detergent or frabic softner, try washer running machine with hot water and vinigar to clean out also check inlet valve for dirt build up

LG front load washer is leaking underneath the front left corner, the display code is FE.

Why don't you simply find out what the FE code is alluding to? Go to web site or do a google search and then you can check for the issue further.

"FE" error code; won't stop filling

Hello Sheri Tucker,

The "FE" code is referring to a bad or malfunctioning water valve. The machine continues to fill because the solenoid on the valve inside the machine isn't closing to stop the water. The valve should be inspected and/or replaced if bad. This will require some dis-assembly, if washing machine repair isn't something your comfortable with then a service call is the best bet. If you are going to try and inspect yourself please make sure you unplug the machine before starting any dis-assembly. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Cold water Washes

It is normal for the machine to cycle between hot and cold water when filling even if selecting a cold cycle. The reason for this is because even a cold cycle requires the water temperature to be 78F for the soap to break up efficiently.

During the cold months the water in your pipes is probably less than 78F so the machine will need to add some hot water to bring it up to this temperature. Basically, it is adding cold and then hot water to maintain a temperature in the tub of 78F for cold water cycles.

Hope this helps, please rate my solution.

Machine overfilling

You need to check the pressure switch and tube wich you can access from the top of the machine with the top removed. the tube is a rubber pipe which may have fallen of the switch or pressure chamber connection. cheers
