Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 An “OE” error typically indicates a drainage issue. Ensure the drain hose is not clogged, kinked, or obstructed. Additionally, check the drain pump filter for any blockages. If the problem persists, inspect the drain pump for functionality. 

 Noisy spin cycles may result from worn drum bearings, a loose drive pulley, or foreign objects trapped between the tub and drum. Examine the basket for debris, and inspect the shock absorbers and suspension springs for wear or damage. Tighten any loose bolts on the drum assembly.

 To reset the washer, unplug it from the power outlet and leave it unplugged for one minute. After one minute, plug the washer back in, then open and close the lid six times within 12 seconds to reset the control board. 

 The “dE” error code indicates that the lid is not properly closed. Ensure the lid is securely shut, and the lid lock light is illuminated. If the error persists, inspect the lid switch for functionality.

 This issue may be due to a clogged drain pump or hose, a faulty lid switch, or a malfunctioning pressure switch. Inspect the drain pump and hose for blockages, test the lid switch for continuity, and verify the water level sensor wiring. 

 Locate the drain pump filter, typically at the bottom front of the washer. Open the access panel, unscrew the filter cover, and remove any debris. Clean the filter under running water before reassembling.

 The LG WT1201C washer has a 4.3 cu. ft. ultra-large capacity, allowing for larger loads and reduced wash cycles. 

 To register your washer, visit the LG support website and enter your product details, including model number and serial number. Alternatively, you can mail the registration information to the LG Customer Information Center.

Check that the water supply taps are fully open, and ensure the inlet hoses are not kinked or clogged. Clean the inlet filters if necessary, and verify adequate water pressure by testing other faucets in the house.

To prevent unbalanced loads, evenly distribute clothes inside the drum, avoid overloading, and mix heavy items with lighter ones. If the washer detects an unbalanced load, it will attempt to redistribute the clothes automatically.
