I have a 7kg front loader which was half way through a cycle before stopping. It makes a warning noise and then SE or 5E flash on the display. It won't spin or drain and now I cannot open the door to get the clothes out. I tried turning it off at the wall and the door still won't open. Help!

If you have checked all the above then may be the inlet valve has a fault.

"LG 7Kg SE error...."

Hello M,
The error is 5E not SE.
They look the same on a digital display :)
This is a "Water not draining out" problem.
The machine detects level of water while draining.
If this does not drain in a 15 minute time-out, error 5 "5E" pops up on the digital time display.
Somewhere in the draining path, there is blockage.
Try this:
Check your drain hose for blockages, and that it is installed the correct way.
Remove the drain hose - prepare for a possible flood from the machine drain if you do this!
Use a garden hosepipe or strong pressure tap to flush hose forward and reverse until water runs clear.
If you live in a very cold climate maybe the hose is iced up inside.
Also check all filters to see they are not blocked up.
Hope this helps,
Clive.

Hi!
I has the same 5E mistake with my Samsung washing mashine.
5E looks like SE on the screen, but it is 5E.

This is what the manual says:
5E - Your washer is not draining. It can
also mean that the unit senses a
small clog while draining

Do the following:
1) Turn off the unit and turn it on again.
2) Select only the Spin Cycle.
3) Press the Start/Pause to drain the water.
If it still does not drain, call for service.

The "5e" code means the unit is not draining properly.

5E error

WATER DRAIN ERROR



5E is displayed if the water level frequency detected is 25 KHz or less in the initial phase of the UNB -detecting cycle. The Water Drainerror can be cleared by turning POWER SW OFF and back ON.

5E. Water Drain Error.
5E is displayed if the water level frequency detected os 25KHz or less in the initial phase of the UNB - detecting cycle. The WATER DRAIN ERROR
can be rectified by turning the POWER SW OFF AND THEN BACK on.

Hope this helps you

Hello & Welcome to FixYa
5E is a water drain error and occurs when the water level frequency does not show changes. First clean the debris filter located at the bottom of the washer and then turn the unit back on after 15 minutes. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

could the code be 5e if it is a 5e then the problem would be
5E is displayed if the water level frequency detected is 25 KHz or less in the initial phase of the UNB -detecting cycle. The Water Drain error can be cleared by turning POWER SW OFF and back ON.
