Questions people ask
- What does FE mean on an LG washing machine?
- There is more water in the tub than the cycle asked for. No, and close both taps first rather than after. The usual cause is a fill valve that is no longer shutting, so water keeps arriving whether the machine wants it or not. Closing the taps is what turns this into an ordinary repair instead of a flooded floor. Start here: close both water taps.
- What does FE mean on an LG dishwasher?
- The float in the base of the machine found water, and the flood protection has shut everything down. No. Water is in the base tray under the machine, which is where it is not supposed to be, and the machine has stopped on purpose. The safety system did its job and caught it before your floor and your cabinets did. Start here: turn off the water and cut the power.
Do not see your machine? We publish a brand only once its codes are confirmed against manufacturer documentation and a second independent source. That is slower than guessing, and it is the whole point of the site.
This is not a coincidence of one code: we compared every code that appears on more than one brand and found that several mean the opposite depending on the badge.
