How to fix LG front-load washer error code EE (safe owner checks)
- Write down the code and model number. Note exactly what the display shows (EE) and copy the full model number from the rating label, so you can confirm this chart applies to your front-load washer and order the right parts.
- Do a power reset. Try to clear the code by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
- Do a power reset. Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker for one minute, then restore power and try again. If the code clears and stays away, it may have been a one-off fault.
- Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If EE comes back after these checks, stop using the washer for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.
The first and last steps (and the power reset) are general owner checks added by ErrorCodePro; the rest follow the LG front-load washer error-code chart published by Sears PartsDirect, rewritten for safe owner use.
