| Code FE flickers, LG washing machine collects and drains water | The filling valve for filling the washing machine with water requires repair, and therefore, it passes water in the closed state, and leads to overflow. | If the spring of the washing machine has become thinner and weaker or the inlet valve does not prevent “excess” water due to the loss of membrane flexibility, in this case, the valve cannot be repaired, it is necessary to replace the valve. | from 3200 to 39$. |
| At the beginning of the wash, the washing machine drained the water, then stopped or constantly draws it, while the display shows the error code FE. | Broken water level sensorpressure switch), which measures the allowable water level in the washing machine. | There may be a blockage in the water pressure sensor tube. You can clean it by blowing, if this does not help, it is definitely necessary to replace the pressure sensor. | from 1900 to 39$. |
| The LG washing machine stopped during operation (washing) and the error code FE flashed on the digital screen. During the stop, the washing machine may drain water, or water may remain inside the tub. | The built-in computer program unit (microcircuit), or rather the control unit of the washing machine is faulty. | On the matrix, the tracks “burn out” or the elements of the pressure switch are broken. In this case, you can "solder" the tracks, eliminate the faulty elements of the controller. If a burn occurs on the matrix or the processor fails, it will need to be replaced. | Repair - from $ 3000 to $ 40.
Replacement - 5500 - $ 65. |
| An FE error occurred during the washing and rinsing period. When you restart the washing machine, the program displays an error code that does not allow washing to be turned on. | In the control unit of the washing machine, the wiring leading from the control unit (microcircuit or electronic controller) to the pressure switch has been erased. | From the control unit to the pressure switch, restore the damaged electrical wiring, isolate this place to protect it from a secondary break. | from 1500 to 29$. |
So, there are main types of breakdowns:

- The electrical controller is broken;
- The water level switch (sensor) is broken and needs to be replaced;
- The filling valve allows water to pass in the "closed" state;
- Damaged electrical wiring.
