What does Pe code mean? Washing machine pressure switch error

Have you decided to start doing laundry? As usual, we set the program, but suddenly all the indicators start to glow at once. They can be on permanently or flashing. If you have an LG washing machine with a display, then a PE error will be displayed on it.

For the first time, it could appear during the operation of washing machines, but then it burns constantly. In any case, the washing machine will not wash.

So, we need to figure out what kind of PE error is in LG washing machines.

Let's start with the fact that in any washing machine there is a so-called pressure switch. Simply put, this is a water level sensor that helps the washing machine determine how much of this water is in the drum.

So the PE error code indicates problems with this particular definition. However, it is completely ambiguous that the malfunction is in the pressure switch itself.

Thus, the essence and meaning of the PE error is: too much water slowly enters the drum, namely, in 25 minutes it cannot even reach the minimum level, or it comes too quickly, that is, no more than 4 minutes.

In order to cope with this trouble, it is important to know what the causes of the PE error in general can be. LG washing machines. This will give you the opportunity to fix it yourself, and professional repair may not be useful.

So, the causes of the PE error can be as follows:

• 

  Per filling the drum with water Responsible, in fact, water pressure.It is regulated by the control unit on the side of the washing machine and the water pressure on the side of the water supply. This means that the reason may be in the electronic control unit or in the force of water pressure in the water supply.

• The PE error may occur due to some kind of malfunction in the washing machine program.
• The control module may be faulty.
• Since the amount of water in the drum is determined by the water level sensor, or the pressure switch, and the PE error indicates exactly this problem, it can be assumed that the pressure switch is not working correctly. Namely: the signals to the control unit may be sent incorrectly or not sent at all. This can happen due to a breakdown of the sensor itself or some problems with the daisy chain connections of the wires going to it.
• The reason may even be in the wrong installation of the washing machine. When the drain is located below the level of the washing machine drum, then the water is collected and immediately goes into the sewer. As a result, the PE error.

These are the main reasons that specialists had to deal with.

Now let's figure out what you can do without calling the wizard from the service center.

• In case the problem is in the pressure of the water from the water supply, you can try to open the inlet tap more or less, thereby adjusting the pressure.
• If a program malfunction occurs, unplug the washing machine immediately from the socket, wait 10 - 15 minutes and plug it back into the mains.
• The pressure switch may not work due to a simple blockage in the tube. In this case, it will be enough for you to blow it.
• You can correct the connections of the wire loops connecting the water level sensor.If suddenly you see that the wires are broken for some reason, you can connect them with a twist.

• And, of course, you should check the correct installation of the washing machine, or rather, the location of the drain.

In this way, systematize signs and causes of occurrence and ways to eliminate the PE error in the table.
