If a PE error appears on the display of the LG washing machine, corrective action must be taken.
Electronic models of washers show a malfunction code on the display. Electromechanical SMA without a screen notify of a problem by glowing (blinking) indicators “Wash” - “Rinse” - “Spin”.
Initially, the system gives an error on any program, but if the problem is started, the code will light up immediately after switching on.
What does the error code mean and why does it appear
What does the PE error mean in the LG washing machine: malfunction of the water level switch (pressure switch). The system issues an error code after a 25-minute timeout, during which the water should have reached a minimum level. Or there was an excessively fast filling of the machine - in just 4 minutes.
Since such a malfunction can occur for other reasons, from this article you will learn how to fix the damage yourself.
Solution to the problem
- Failure of the electronic module. The PE error can be removed by disconnecting the machine from the power supply. Reboot for 15-20 minutes, then start the system. If this is the case, the error will be reset.
- Check that CM Al Ji is installed correctly. The reason for the simultaneous collection and discharge of water may be improperly located drain hose. Check the connection of the hose to the machine; the drain level must be at least 50 cm from the floor. Correctly install the LG machine will help the video:
- Carefully inspect the wiring connecting the pressure switch to the control unit. If it is faulty, isolate the damaged areas or replace the wires.
What to do if the machine again displays PE error again on the display? Proceed to the following points.
How to fix a breakdown
In 90% of cases, the cause of the PE error is a malfunction of the water level switch. You need to check it and replace if necessary.
How to do this to guarantee a fix:
- Turn off the power supply to the Lji washing machine (LG), turn off the water.
- Unscrew the bolts of the upper panel of the washer, move it to the side.
- At the very top you will see the pressure switch. It controls the amount of water in the tank.
- Inspect the pressure pipe for damage. Check the connection strength.
- Using a multimeter, you can check the wiring connecting the level switch to the controller.
- If everything is normal, you need to change the pressure switch to a working device.
Less commonly, the control module becomes the cause of the fault with a PE error. In this case, the error lights up on the display after it is turned on or when selecting a program. You can get the unit by removing the front panel of the machine where it is located.
If you see that the control board is burned out, it will have to be replaced. If contacts are broken, they can be re-soldered. The main thing is to remember their location correctly.
Thus, you can fix the problem with your own hands. And if this is not possible - contact the service center.
