After starting, the washing machine starts to pump water, but the washing process does not start, and the error code SE appears on the display. If you try to set other programs to the unit, you can make sure that the drum does not rotate on any of them (spin, wash, rinse).
Error Code 5E or SE: LG Laundry Washer
This error is not uncommon for LG brand machines:
- with silent three-phase motor and belt drive;
- with (Direct Drive) - direct drive.
SE error - decryption
The SE icon that appears on the screen indicates that a malfunction has occurred in the motor of the device. Washing machine does not spin the drum, because the shaft of its engine does not rotate, and the motor does not work.
Despite such a serious decoding, the cause of the malfunction is not necessarily in the engine. It is possible that it originated in another node. The SE designation only communicates the fact that the motor shaft cannot rotate, but does not explain why. In some cases, it may well be trifling, and it will be quite possible to fix it on your own.

List of malfunctions requiring the intervention of masters
The table below describes the most typical breakdowns that can cause an SE error in an automatic washing machine. For its compilation, the experience of specialists in the workshop is used.
| Characteristic signs of an error | Possible reasons for the error | Necessary activities | Price of work (parts and labor) |
| The LG automatic machine does not start the washing process, the drum does not rotate, the equipment shows an error 5E. | Most often, the cause of the malfunction is in the Hall sensor (its other name is the tachogenerator or tachometer), with the help of which the rotation speed is controlled. 90% of all failures occur for a specific reason. | The Hall effect sensor is usually beyond repair and therefore needs to be replaced. But occasionally it happens that the resistor that is in the same circuit with the sensor burns out, and not the sensor itself. In such circumstances, change the damaged resistor. | From 3500 to 46$ |
| The machine shows an error, but the washing machine does not spin the drum. | The electronic controller, or simply the control module, has become unusable.This chip is the main one for the machine: it participates in the process of controlling the entire unit. | Usually this control unit can be repaired. It will be necessary to replace damaged burned-out elements and solder failed tracks. In some cases, the controller itself will have to be replaced. | Replacement
5600 – 66$ Repair 3100 – 4100

| The device constantly displays the SE error code on the display, which does not disappear when the control is adjusted. | The engine of the unit has failed. | The defective engine needs to be replaced. | 70$ |
| From time to time the device shows error 5E, the drum stops rotating. | The wiring connecting the washing machine motor to the washer control unit may have worn out. During washing, the machine vibrates easily, which can cause the contact to come off. This is followed by a termination of work and a demonstration of the error. | It is necessary to completely replace the sheath of wires, or to correct the connection of worn wires. | From 1600 to 30$ |
The repair cost indicated in the table consists of the cost of components and the work of the master directly. The final price is determined after completion professional diagnostics "Repair Service" employee, and also depends on the model of the unit.
