LG Washing Machine FE Error Code
Overflow Error — too much water entered the drum. Here's what it means, what you can safely check, and when to call a technician.
LG Washing Machine FE Error: Overflow Error — too much water entered the drum
When your LG washing machine shows a FE error, it is indicating: Overflow Error — too much water entered the drum. This is a specific fault code the appliance's control board uses to flag a problem it has detected — it won't clear permanently by switching the power off and on, because the underlying condition that caused it still exists.
What To Check Before Calling a Technician
Switch off immediately and shut the water supply tap. Do not run the machine. This needs a technician — the inlet valve is likely stuck open.
Inlet valve needs replacement. Do not attempt to run the machine until repaired. If the FE error persists after the checks above, a technician will be able to diagnose and fix it with the right tools — attempting to open the unit's panels or handle electrical components without training is not safe.
