LG washing machine error codes

Leakage error: the washer has detected a water leak inside the appliance and its anti-flood safety switch has been activated.

Motor over-current error: there is an over-current in the motor's electrical circuit.

Child Lock is on: LG says CL is not an error code. Child Lock is active, so the control panel is disabled and settings cannot be adjusted.

Door error: the door is not closed properly, so the washer could not lock it.

Door closed but not locked: the washer detects the door as closed, but it did not lock.

Overfill error: too much water has entered the drum. The drain pump runs to prevent leaks.

Freeze failure: the temperature inside the washer has dropped below 1°C (about 34°F), so water in the drain or inlet hoses may be frozen. The washer will not start until it warms above 4°C (about 39°F).

Water inlet error: the tub did not fill to an adequate level within the set time.

Motor error: the tub failed to spin, so the motor cannot operate properly.

Drain error: the washer is unable to drain the water used during the wash cycle.

Water level sensor error: LG says the PE code indicates that the washer's water level sensor is malfunctioning.

Power failure: LG says PF means the power supply to the washer was interrupted during a cycle, for example by a power outage.

Excess suds detected: the washer adds a suds-reducing cycle (about 2 hours extra) and, if suds appear during spinning, stops to help prevent leaking.

Tub Clean reminder: it is time to run the Tub Clean cycle. This is a maintenance reminder, not a fault.

Heating error: usually caused by a faulty thermistor (the washer's water temperature sensor).

Unbalanced load error: laundry is piled on one side of the drum and the washer could not even it out.

Vibration sensor error: LG says vS (shown as u5 or uS on some displays) indicates a potential issue with the vibration sensor, due to a contact problem or a sensor malfunction.
