A washing machine is an indispensable household appliance in any household, but even the most reliable household appliances, such as those from LG, occasionally malfunction. Today we will figure out what to do if an AE error occurs on an LG washing machine. It should be noted that a washing machine will never display the AE code without a reason. If such an error occurs, it means that there is a failure in the system, or some components have failed.
AE error means that there is a problem with the equipment shutdown. So why does this error occur and how to fix it?
Let's look at ways to fix the AE error on your LG washing machine yourself.
- Turning off the washing machine and turning it on again after 15-20 minutes. This will help if there is a minor failure in the control unit.
- Checking connections that come into contact with water. The washing machine may have started leaking because the connecting clamp has come loose and the float sensor is triggered, causing an error.
Now let's look at possible faults that require repair:
- Control module failure. Occurs as error code AE or A0E on the washing machine display during water intake or washing. If the module is faulty, the burnt-out elements of the control board need to be re-soldered. If the processor is faulty, the display module will need to be replaced.
- Damage to the cuff. The rubber cuff of the hatch can become worn out due to the appearance of fungus or damage by a sharp object. If the damage is minor, the cuff can be glued. But the most reliable solution to the problem is to replace the cuff with a new one.
- One of the pipes has become leaky. The problem may arise due to damage from sharp objects during washing. To fix the problem, you will need to replace the pipe.
- The washing machine tank has leaked. As a result, water accumulates in the tray, the float sensor floats up and the leak protection system is triggered. A possible solution to the problem may be to replace the tank if it is collapsible. Otherwise, the washing machine cannot be repaired.
- The Aqvastop leak protection system has broken down. To fix the problem, you will need to repair or replace the Aquastop.
- There is a blockage in the drainage system. In this case, it will be necessary to clean the system from the remains of dirt and detergent, possible small objects that could have gotten into the drainage system during the washing process.
Having identified the possible cause of the breakdown, you can easily eliminate the malfunction. Our recommendation is to contact the LG washing machine service center when identifying possible problems, whose specialists have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and eliminate possible problems with household appliances.
