How to Fix LG Washing Machine PE Error Code
The PE error code on your LG washing machine indicates a fault with the water level sensor, also known as the pressure sensor. This sensor is responsible for detecting the amount of water in the drum, and when it fails to communicate with the main control board, the machine stops to prevent overflowing.
Checking the Water Level Sensor and Wiring
- Unplug the washing machine from the power source and turn off the water supply taps.
- Remove the top cover of the washing machine to access the internal components near the control panel.
- Locate the pressure sensor, which is a small round component connected by a thin plastic tube and a wire harness.
- Inspect the wire harness for any signs of loose connections, corrosion, or frayed wires that may have been damaged by vibrations.
- Ensure the plastic pressure tube is securely attached to both the sensor and the tub, and check for any cracks or blockages in the tube.
Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician
- Perform a hard reset by unplugging the machine for 10 minutes to clear the control board memory.
- Check if the pressure tube has slipped off or is pinched, as this prevents the sensor from reading water levels correctly.
- Ensure the wire connector is firmly seated in the sensor port by gently unplugging and reconnecting it.
Always disconnect the power plug before opening the appliance casing to avoid the risk of electric shock. If you are uncomfortable working with internal electrical components, please contact a professional technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PE error code mean on my LG washing machine?
The PE error code specifically signifies a 'Pressure Error,' meaning the water level sensor is not sending the correct signal to the control board.
Can I fix the PE error without replacing parts?
Often, the error is caused by a loose wire or a disconnected pressure tube. Re-securing these connections can resolve the issue without needing new parts.
Is it safe to use the machine if the PE error keeps appearing?
No, you should not continue to use the machine. A faulty sensor can lead to water overflowing or the machine failing to drain properly, which may cause further damage.
Does a PE error always mean the sensor is broken?
Not necessarily. While it could be a faulty sensor, it is frequently caused by wiring issues, a damaged pressure tube, or a glitch in the main control board.
