    Second load run through my brand new LG WM0642HW washer, - the first load using a Hot wash cycle, and the water kept running and running and the control panel shows the FE code. What's up?

Water valve is stuck open and needs to be replaced.  The best way to check if the water valve is the problem is to remove the top cover, run the machine to get the water running.  While the water is filling, remove the connector to the water valve that is filling.  If the water continues to run without the connector, the valve needs to be replaced.  If the water stops flowing when disconnected, you may have a control board problem and will need it to be replaced.

Yes, it's one of the water valves. Try a cold water only wash and see if it is error free. If yes then the hot water valve is issue. Good luck.

Hello,

The errors indicate the water valve or water sensor failure.
The washing machine have a water sensor to prevent overfilling. If you change the sensor, the washer will be work again.
FE error mean washer overfilling
