What does the Pe code mean? Washing machine pressostat error

Have you decided to start washing? As usual, you set the program, but suddenly all the indicators start to light up at once. They may be on all the time or they may be flashing. If you have an LG washing machine with a display, then it will display the error PE.

The first time it may appear during the operation of the machine, but then lit constantly. In any case, the machine will not wash.

So, it is necessary to understand what kind of error PE in LG washing machines.

To begin with, any washing machine has a so-called pressostat. Simply put, it is a water level sensor that helps the machine determine how much water is in the drum.

So the error code PE indicates a problem with this very definition. However, it is not at all certain that the fault is in the pressostat itself.

Thus, the essence and meaning of the error PE is as follows: The water is flowing too slowly too slowly into the drumand that is in 25 minutes can not reach even the minimum level, or it comes too fast, that is no more than 4 minutes.

To cope with this trouble, it is important to know what causes the PE error in LG washing machines. This will give you the opportunity to fix it on your own, and professional repairs may not be necessary.

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

• 

  For filling the drum with water Is essentially responsible for the water pressure. It is regulated by the control unit on the washing machine side and the water pressure on the plumbing side. So, the cause could be in the electronic control unit or in the strength of the water pressure in the plumbing.

• The PE error may be due to some malfunction in the machine program.
• The control module may be defective.
• Since the amount of water in the drum is determined by the water level sensor, or pressostat, and the PE error indicates exactly this problem, it can be assumed that the pressostat does not work properly. Namely: signals to the control unit may be sent incorrectly or not sent at all. This could be because the sensor itself is broken, or there are some problems with the wiring to the sensor.
• The cause may even be in the wrong installation of the washing machine. When the drain is located below the level of the drum of the washing machine, then the water is drawn in and immediately goes into the drain. As a consequence - PE error.

These are the main reasons that experts have had to deal with.

Now let's understand what you can do without calling a master from the service center.

• In the case of a problem with the water pressure, you can try opening more or less of the tap, thereby adjusting the pressure.
• If there is a problem with the program, unplug the washing machine immediately, wait 10 to 15 minutes and plug it in again.
• The pressostat may not work due to simple clogging in the tube. In this case, you will only need to blow it out.
• You can fix the wiring connections that connect the water level sensor. If you suddenly see that the wires are broken for some reason, you can twist them together.

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

Thus, let's systematize signs and causes of occurrence and ways of PE error elimination into the table.
