LG washer WM249HSM: stops at drain/ spin cycle with the "dE" (door not shut) code. I then hear repeated clicking. I have cleaned front drain and door.

    Thanks, Jeremy. I tried this; the "dE" code comes on at start now, won't even start first cycle.

OK if nothing has Struck the door (Like a foot...etc) then that is OK. If water is not draining, Then it is the Drain Pump. About $30 on Amazon. It needs to be replaced cause it is bad and is causing these other issues. Unplug the machine and disassemble it, replace pump and reassemble. If this is above/below your pay grade. Then call Sears and have them do it for around $130.

SOURCE: Got an LG front load washer WM2277HS with an error

Replace the Drain Pump. Its very cheap to replace, so do not worry. The impeller magnet was most likely damaged by a small object or normal wear & tear,

If you want to be sure, first remove it and attach power to its 2 pins.

Good Luck :-) - J.Q

I have an lg tromm front load washer. I am getting the IE fault. I have cleaned the inlet screens and drain filter. It gets stuck at the 13 min mark, seems like it just won't go to spin cycle.

LE code mean suds have built up. Using non he (High Efficiency) detergent or too much detergent will cause this error most front loaders use he detergent only there is a he swirl on the container
Let your washer sit idle or 45 minutes.Unplg washer as well
Plug in and turn on as left spin speed select no spin press Start/pause to start a drain only cycle. When cycle is complete remove load. Start a rinse•spin cycle to clean out residue.
If the sud were too much you may have to repeat

I have an LG WM1814CW wash machine that shuts itself down in mid cycle. No codes given??

We had a problem like this with our whirlpool duet washer and we found out that the drain filter was restricted by of all things one of our kids socks. I cleaned out the filter and have not had the problem again so far and its been about a year now. The filter on ours was behind a little door that screws open and is in the drain line.

Got an OE error, now it will not finish rinse and spin, sounds like it is grinding in the spin cycle and the timer is stopped at 27 minutes remaining. What is wrong?

The problem is in the drain system as what error code OE stands for.The grinding noise is coming from the drain pump. Loose change, hair pins and the likes can get into the pump filter and sometimes into the pump impeller causing a grinding noise during the spin cycle because the pump works while the machine is spinning. The pump impeller may also be broken causing the grinding noise.

Disconnect power then open the filter door on the bottom left of the cabinet.

Remove the drain plug and drain the water out completely into a shallow basin or the likes. Once drained, lay a piece of towel under the filter then turn the filter knob counterclockwise and remove it. Clean the filter and reach in the pump impeller to check it if blocked or broken. If cleaning the filter does not solve the problem, you need to access the drain pump assembly and check the pump particularly the impeller thoroughly. Click on the link below for the detailed procedure in accessing the drain pump assembly.

My 3 year old front loader suddenly stopped draining, spinning, and now the door will not unlock. It still has power and you can hear clicking, it does cycle through wash, but stops at drain and lights...

This looks like the pump is blocked or drain or the pump has gone. to try and solve it best thing to do is open pump filter usually on bottom front of machine to access pump water will come out so be ready. when you have opened the filter you can check for a blockage and give it a clean put filter back on and put it on a cycle and see if it drains. to make door open start a cycle stop it after a few seconds of being on and turn off machine on machine not at plug and leave it for a while it should open. if it does not then switch off for 5 mins and back on and repeat it hope this helps.

My lg front load washer will go through the cycle till spin the machine is full of water and displays DE error on the panel?

The problem with this one is I'm not there but, without having the tech sheet for this model I would assume DE means "door error" or a drain problem. I believe this model has a clean out drain in it. Remove the bottom panel or there maybe a panel that just pops off. It won't spin if it can't drain. Unscrew the drain (have some towels or a bucket ready)(UNPLUG MACHINE)...If it's clogged then that's the problem. If it's the door it could be the lock assembly or the control board itself. This is why it makes it hard to do without being there. There are three boards in this unit...Hope I've helped a little.

My lg intellowasher wd1290 error code OE

I think your "OE" is really a "DE" or drain error. Open the access door on the lower left of the front panel on the machine, drain the remaining water with the small drain hose there, and unscrew and remove the larger thing, which is a filter. Clean filter. If filter was not blocked, check for loose impeller on drain pump motor, which requires replacement of drain pump motor. (just sticking it back on will result in it coming off again)
If this helps, a "fixya" rating would be appreciated. Thanks.

Door latch

Hi,

DE error code is because there is a drain problem and it will not lock the door.
