Error de on LG washing machine

Owners of LG washing machines are often frightened by system errors generated by their assistants. Usually, after most mistakes, the washing machine stops working and many housewives simply have no idea what to do in this case. In particular, the often displayed error de on the lg washing machine - what it means and how to fix it so that the machine starts working again, we will talk about this in this article.

Causes of de error in LG car: what does it mean?

Before solving the issue of repairing an LG washing machine, you need to understand the cause of the error, and this can be quite difficult to do. In all cases, you need to start by deciphering the error code that the manufacturer included in the device. In our case, error code de means that the washing machine hatch is not locked.

At first glance, it seems that the reason for the de error lies on the surface - close the car hatch more tightly and be happy. In some cases, this is indeed the case; just press the hatch cover harder until you hear a characteristic click, the error will disappear and the machine will start working. But there are situations that are not so clear - you press and press on the hatch cover, the cover is closed, but the error remains the same.

In this case, you will have to consider the following reasons:

• the hook-shaped latch and hatch locking devices are broken;
• the spring or wire clamp or hatch locking device has moved;
• the electronic sensor of the hatch locking device has failed;
• The washing machine start sensor element in the electrical controller has failed.

Important! We have indicated the typical causes of the de error, which are the most common, but there may be others.Therefore, it is better not to take risks and contact a specialist who repairs washing machines.

Algorithm for finding the source of the error: we proceed step by step

LG washing machine gives error de? In some cases, it is not at all necessary to look for the source of the error; it is enough to perform a number of simple and accessible actions that will lead to the error eliminating itself. Therefore, do not rush to call a specialist or, especially, to disassemble the washing machine yourself - do the following.

1. Close the washing machine door more tightly.
2. Unplug the washing machine, open the door, then turn on the machine and close the door again.
3. Disconnect the lg machine from the power supply, let it stand for 10-15 minutes, and then repeat the manipulations of turning on/off and opening/closing the hatch cover.

If, after sequentially performing the above steps, the error persists, then you will have to apply the troubleshooting algorithm generated by the de error. This algorithm was developed by specialists who suggest first testing the hatch cover locking device for malfunctions. How to do it?

• We open the hatch cover and check the integrity and mobility of the locking hook; to do this, you need to move it left and right with your finger.
• If everything is in order with the hook, then pull out the mating part of the hatch locking device. To do this, you need to unscrew the two screws that hold the mating part inside the machine body.
• We take out the locking device, leaving the sensor connected to the electrical controller and turn on the machine. We find it on the narrow part of the locking device, find the contact and close it.
• If after this the machine does not display errors, even with the hatch cover open, and it becomes possible to set the washing mode, This means that the hatch locking device needs to be replaced or repaired.

Note! If you have a spare hatch blocking device, you can simply disconnect the old device and connect a new one and check the operation of the machine.

If we are convinced that the locking device for the hatch of the lg machine is working properly, then it means that the problem is in the electronics, namely in the element of the electrical controller of the washing machine. You'll have to take it apart to make sure.

1. First you need to remove the plastic cover covering the electrical controller by carefully prying off several plastic clips with a screwdriver.
2. Next, you need to unscrew several screws holding the electronic unit.
3. The electrical controller consists of two layers: a large board with a display and a small board that controls the start and shutdown of the washing machine, which is what we need.
4. We remove the large board and put it aside.
5. We carefully inspect the small board for visible damage (burnouts, various damage to tracks, etc.).
6. If there is damage, it means that the cause of the de error has been found, and we must begin to eliminate it. If damage cannot be found, you need to contact a specialist.

The source of the error has been found - how to fix it?

You can repair the hatch cover locking device yourself, It is enough to involve a specialist in this matter, or you can not repair the device at all, but buy and install a new one. How to repair UBL yourself? Everything will depend on the nature of the breakdown; if the problem is that the contact of the UBL sensors fires every once in a while or does not work, then you can clean it and the problem will be solved.

If the problem is with clamps, rubber seals or a spring, then you need to either replace them or install them in the desired position.If after these manipulations the hatch locking device still does not work, replace it with a new one.

If the problem is in the small board that controls the start and shutdown of the washing machine, then, first of all, you need to properly clean and solder all the tracks on which carbon deposits were found. Our task is to ensure the best possible contact between the board parts. If after Soldering the board still does not work, it will have to be replaced with a similar one.

Important! The small board is filled with silicone and you can’t just reach its contacts. To remove silicone, you need to use a very hot knife.

During operation of the lg washing machine, in addition to error de, other errors may occur. In the article Error codes for LG washing machines you can read details about them

In conclusion, a de error does not necessarily indicate a serious problem. And you don’t necessarily have to look for how to fix the de error in the lg washing machine. We need to check everything carefully using the algorithms provided to us by specialists. If it turns out that the de error is caused by specific malfunctions, only then do you need to take serious measures to repair the washing machine modules.

    During washing, error dE came on - door sensor malfunction. The replacement did not bring results. The door sensor block does not receive voltage to heat the thermistor. The wires from the block lead to the control unit. Has the control and display unit burned out?
