Control Panel Overview
Try this website, these codes belong to the LG washer Range
It has something to do with the water level sensor feed on the water input.
Hope this helps.
P.s you could also be able to find the service manual for it.

Check the pressure switch -the system that determines correct water
level in the drum. If its giving an incorrect indication to the program
timer machine will either overfill, refuse to fill or refuse to spin.
Its an air operated diaphragm switch triggered by rising air pressure
induced by the entry of water into an airtight vessel attached to the
base of the drum. It tells the program timer that the water has reached
the correct level, allowing it to proceed to the water heating stage in
the cycle.
Power off, drag machine out onto the floor, remove back
cover and top cover. The pressure switch is a round item about 3 inches
across with several wires and a thin rubber pipe attached. It generally
sits just under the top cover. Disconnect the thin rubber pipe from the
switch and blow down through it to clear any blockage.
Switch itself may
be faulty but its more likely the pressure pipe or the vessel attached
to the other end of the pipe is blocked. Some machines have the pressure
vessel integrated as part of the filter unit, with a pressure chamber
moulded into the top of the filter body. Remove the pressure vessel, put
a small nut or screw in it, fill it with water and shake vigorously
till any crud or residue is removed. Refit all parts, check that joints
and connections are water tight.
Also check the filter itself - generally located behind a panel at the
foot of the machine.Some are obvious like little square hatches and some
are hidden behind the trim panel at the foot of the machine. Once panel
is removed the filter should be visible. Its generally a circular
plastic fitting which unscrews in an anticlockwise direction.
Some
hotpoint, indesit and ariston filters are located in the big black sump
hose (the one that leaves the bottom of the outer drum and connects to
the pump). Power off, drag machine out onto the floor, remove back cover
or tip machine up at an angle. Locate sump hose, remove the tensioner
clip by squeezing the tabs together with a large pair of pliers or vise
grips, remove the hose, take out filter and clean. Be prepared for
spillage of water. May help if the machine is tilted backwards at an
angle.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
LG's 'PE' refers to '(water) Pressure Error'
If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
LG's 'PE' stands for 'Pressure Error'- poor water feed.
