LG front load washer PE code

I owned a front load LG, never again, LG or any other brand.

Clogged pump most likely, does your model have the accessible water pump behind a door at the bottom? If so check and see if it has any junk in it.


with your model number I can give better info.

I checked the pump filter at the bottom on the front. It was clean.

on that model, 100% it's the pressure switch. Very easy to change. You take off the top panel (two screws, either phillips or 1/4") and it should be right there at the top. It will have a hose going to it that measures the pressure inside the tub, which tells it water level. It will be attached with two screws, have a wire harness that easily un-clips and the hose will either pull off, or will have a small spring clamp on it.


Here is the part Amazon for $16, LG brand part
Here is some info on this problem.

LG Washing Machine Displaying Fault Code PE
WM2277HW
PRESSURE SENSOR ERROR // Water level pressure switch error

The manufacturer has assigned this error or fault code to indicate that the machine is overfilling with water. This washer is equipped with a water level pressure switch. As the machine fills, the pressure increases on the switch, at the set pressure, the switch cuts power to the water inlet valve and the water stops flowing into the washer. If the pressure switch fails to sense properly, or the water inlet valve fails to shut off the unit can overfill. This situation can also be caused if the machine does not drain properly. First, check to see if water ever enters the machine when it is turned off. If so, replace the water inlet valve. Next, check the drain line to be sure it’s not clogged or kinked. Next, check to see if the drain pump is working properly and removing the water from the previous cycle. If all of those check out, you may need to replace the pressure switch.

I can't deny they are the best. They look like they are 20 year old designs, but nothing is better made. The ones I do see where built in the 80's and early 90's then 00 models haven't really started having parts wear out yet.

Don't purchase LG wash/ dry. Never purchase a front load anything. 40+ years of experience. Cut your losses now.

Had LG front loaders goin on 6 years..

Neaux problems....shes happy........

Got at Stantons..... BR Perkins Rd

I replaced that switch today. Still not working right, gives PE error. It started for a few minutes and then gave the error.

Checked the filter on the front and replaced the pressure sensor.

Ours isn't an LG but we had a similar error and it all pointed to the pressure switch so I changed it but it didn't fix the issue. What our problem was some bad capasitor on the main control board.
