LG WM1814CW - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hello,

A dE error code indicates that the washer door was unable to lock. This can normally be resolved by performing a simple reset on the washing machine.
How to reset the washing machine:
1.
Press POWER to turn the washer off.
2.
Unplug the washer from the power outlet or turn the circuit breaker to the unit off.
3.
With the power disabled, press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 5 seconds.
4.
Plug the washer back in, or turn the circuit breaker back on.
5.
For more information about how to reset your specific model, please refer to the owner's manual.
Press in on the door firmly and select any cycle. The washer door should lock, and the cycle should begin without an error code appearing on the display. If the cycle does not begin and the dE code appears again, repair service is required.

If this is the drain pump you are taking about you will need to remove and clean the pump before it can be confirmed.check this link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKjKi50YBpI&NR=1&feature=fvwp

might be a bad drain pump

This dE error or fault code to indicate that the door is not latching properly. Check the lid or door operation to be sure it's not binding and that the door alignment is correct. Also, check the door/lid hinges to be sure they're not binding. Finally, make sure the door catch is in place and not broken. You may need to replace the door hook/catch or the door lock assembly.

its best to get an engineer to the problem as it could be anything at all or just an alignment problem eric

Remove the screws that attach the top panel at the back of the machine, slide the top backwards and remove the top panel. Run the machine as per normal, but be careful as the electrics will now be exposed, you will be able to see where the water is leaking from and be able to repair/replace defective part.

take the back off see if the water pump making that noise or is broken should look something like this one

2 possible causes the water solenoid control valve is split in the diaphragm and not stopping the water the small hose from the base of the tub to the level control pressure unit is split or disconnected or the pressure unit has failed and is not activating the water control valve

Take out the soap drawer and clean the fabric softner compartment. This happens when there is residues left. And it gets clogged up.

The obvious question is how do you know that it is soap? What washing machine is it? The biggest problem with most washing machines is that people use too much soap to begin with. I would go to a store and get a new t-shirt or something. Run the machine with nothing in it. Then put the shirt in and run it again without adding any soap. When it is done check the shirt for soap. There could be a build up on the inside of the drum.

Please do not do another load of wash until this problem is fixed, or you may find yourself with a house/apartment fire! I am thinking your motor (most likely) or the controls (least) have a short, and are causing your problem. Oh, yes. Take a really good look at the circuit breaker box inside, because a broken or loose ground wire ( there are two) can also cause this problem. One ground wire should be white, one should be bare. Each should be securely screwed into the lugs of the grounded section of the circuit breaker box. God bless your efforts.

pull back the lip and look for a wire and spring that goes around the gasket. check out repair videos on repairclinic.com or appliancepartspros.com.

more often than not, this is a problem with a faulty heater in the machine not getting it up to temperatre (which help the powder dissolve). Put it on a 90 degree wash and keep checking the temperature, if it's not getting hot, then you need to swap out the heater. Ift IS getting hot, then it could be an empty pump problem. If the pump or waste pipe are blocked, the wash will take a very long time but it will be struggling to evacuate water and add fresh, which will also causse powder residue to be left behind. But I'd put my money on a heater fault

something is blocking the pump.unplug first.take drain hose and hold down at floor level with a container to catch water.it may be a coin or a wire from a bra,hair bobble etc feel in the pump to see if the impeller is free to move.if it is then suspect something in the hose between drum and pump like a sock.that restricts flow enough to put up fault code

machine needs to be level.so it cant rock side to side or front to back adj feet .when u load machine put half in and rotate drum half turn and put the rest of load in.that should balance load.dont overload.try running empty if it still showing ua

Hi Elaine258, you may need to take a look into it from the top, the soap, softener dispenser may be catching. Fairly straight forward to do, disconnect from the mains, two fasteners at the back hold the top on (if I remember right) lift top up from back and push forward, vvwalla. Hope this helps.
