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

Have LG front load washer that is leaking underneath the front left corner and the display code is FE when the leaking happens. The machine does not turn the drum when this code is present "FE", if I pause the machine and then restart it seems to finish the wash cycle. Do I just replace intake water valves, hot and cold? Or should I be looking at something else?

You can find out which valve(s) need replacing by turning hot water valve off and see what happens on a cold wash and then trying cold valve off on a regular wash.

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.

SOURCE: LG WM1814CW - Water/soap Leaking Under Washing Machine onto Floor

Here is the answer !!! My LG front loader has leaked once a year for the past 4 years. The rubber bellows (a part underneath the washer) cracks and causes the leak. DO NOT LET THEM TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE USING TOO MUCH DETERGENT ... THAT JUST AN EXCUSE !!! The part costs around $12. Here's the link ...

SOURCE: WM0532HW LG front loader washing machine displays LE

LE codes are extensively covered in past Fix-Ya solutions, but are generally caused by only a handful of things. 1. the " Load Error " can be a very off balanced load. 2. excessive use of soap leads to too much suds, and thus drag on the inner tub. (use 1 tablespoon of HE soap max. per load) or 3. the Hall sensor (part number 6501KW2001A) has failed. The hall sensor is rather easy to replace, and is covered by a seven year part warranty. Take the back cover off. Take the big nut off and remove the motor rotor. Remove the bolts holding the motor windings. Remove the electric plug on the sensor and unclip it from the motor winding. Snap new sensor on and reassemble. Usually takes under a half hour. On a difficulty scale of 1 - 10, it might rate a 4. This should be a Fix-Ya for your machine, and at basically no cost!
In the US, find a service provider using your zip code at http://us.lgservice.com/index_b2c.jsp or call LG at 800-243-0000.

SOURCE: lg front load washer leaking from bottom of machine

I just fixed this problem - there is a rubber hose that hooks the bottom of the drum to the drain and recycle pumps - it is ribbed and it developed a hole. To confirm and repair (repair can be done from the front of the machine)

  1. Unplug the machine.
  2. Drain whatever water you can from the machine using the stoppered hose behind the bottom left panel
  3. Unscrew the visible screw holding the plastic in place near the drain hose and filter
  4. If you can pull the plastic recessed piece out, there is one screw visible behind it - unswcrew this. If you cannot pull it out now, you should be able to get it after you remove the screws in step 10
  5. Pull out the detergent drawer (push in the middle back "botton" to release the drawer to pull out fully)
  6. Unscrew two screws in the drawer area.
  7. Pull the top of the electronics assembly away from the machine and lift the assembly out (place on top of the machine or hook it out of the way)
  8. Open the door and remove the spring loaded wire around the door seal (be careful as the seal can be torn)
  9. Pull the seal away from the metal front panel, then close the door
  10. Remove four screws at the top of the front panel (that were behind the eletronics assembly) - If you already have removed the screw from step 4, proceed, otherwise lean the top of front panel out and pop the plastic out, hold panel in place and remove that bottom screw from step 4.
  11. Lift front panel about two inches, swing the entire front panel to the right and set against something - You should now be able to see inside the machine.
  12. There is a black hose right in the middle - when I squeezed mine a little, I could see where the water was dripping out from the bottom.
  13. There are three clamps - two that can be squeezed with pliers and removed, one that has to be unscrewed (phillips head screw - it is a bit blind as the screw faces the back of the machine) - Once I got mine off - I could see the hole.
  14. Order replacement and reassmble in the opposite order

SOURCE: "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,
edgin96

SOURCE: LG WM2355C water leaking under machine after washing finished.

I had this same problem and it was not the supply connections or filters! Under the machine is a rubber bellows. The bellows had sprung a leak. The part was about $10 from Sears and I repaired it in about 30 minutes. The machine is heavy so be careful. Get a friend to make sure the machine won't rock or tip when you're making the repair.

My Lg problem is FE?What Ihave to do?

zjlimited_1817.jpg

Turn the water taps clockwise to close them and unplug the washer if "FE" or "PE" appears on the display. The "FE" error means the water valve is faulty and the washer is overfilling. "PE" means the water level sensor is faulty.

Hope helps.

Have an LG washer displaying an OE code what could be the problem

An OE error code means that the washer is not draining properly. Pull the filter out at the bottom left corner to make sure that the filter is not plugged with debris. Read your manual before pulling the filter out so you don't flood your room.
Good luck.

I have taken apart my drain pump but now i can't remember where the wires go on a lg front load washer

There are two connectors that attach to your drain pump, a black and a brown. They attach to the metal contact on the pump, it doesn't matter which one goes where, they are interchangeable.

When you put the front panel on, there is a door switch connector you need to attach before you put the screws back to hold it in place. After, the connectors on as you attach the top display portion of the washer. They are color coded, put the back into where the connector match with the size and colors on the main board.

Afterward, you can put everything back together and test the washer. Everything should light up and turn back on as normal before. Do not forget to put the particle filter trap back into the pump after everything is together on the bottom left corner of the washer or else it will leak lots of water when you do a wash.

I have a LG washer model WM2487 H*M suddendly water started coming out from underneath and also the front panel shows a light saying FE....I read that means something about is due the faulty water...

FE = Fill Error. Not a faulty water valve in your case. (FE codes if it takes too long to fill the machine, but if the water is leaking out, the valve is not the problem, the leak is) If you take the back cover off, you might be able to see where the water is comming from. Possibly the black rubber hose from the tub to the pump has a leak.

My LG washer TROMM displays the code FE what does that mean?

Overflow error.
Water level frequency is over 213
If FE is displayed the drain pump will kick in to prevent flooding.
Might be a bad water valve OR it could be a clogged water pressure tubing (from tub to control)

Your tech service manual and some notes are HERE
