To find out the type of breakdown of the LG washing machine, the error code on the scoreboard will help. If the machine in the modes "Wash", "Rinse", "Spin", displays a DE error on the display, then there are problems with locking the hatch.
For an ALG machine without a screen, all the “Temperature” - “Wash” - “Rinse” lights blink together (burn).
What to do to troubleshoot
Before you look for the cause of the breakdown and solve the problem, try removing the DE error with simple steps:
- Press down the hatch door more tightly; it may have closed tightly.
- Eliminate possible interference for a normal fit. A piece of clothing could be stuck, or something is interfering with the patency of the door tongue.
- The door may be skewed. If so, tighten the side hinges.
- Repeatedly restart the washer to reset the error, which means to completely disconnect the device for 20 minutes, then connect it to the network.
