A customer in Massillon called about their LG washer that wouldn’t spin out and was showing UE and OE error codes. This turned out to be a common programming issue with LG front load washers that required a control board replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported that their washer won’t spin out and was displaying UE and OE error codes. These codes typically indicate unbalanced load and drain issues, but the actual cause was different.
Diagnosis
This is a common issue with the front load LG wash machines. The programming in the original Control Board caused the out of balance error. The new ones are revised and programmed differently.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: EBR75795702-PCB ASSEMBLY MAIN
- Work performed: Replacing the Control Board on this unit
- Result: Took care of the issue
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG washers are generally well-built machines, and a control board replacement on a unit like this WT4970CW is typically worthwhile. The revised programming in newer control boards actually makes this repair an upgrade that prevents future occurrences of the same problem.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Clean the door seal regularly to prevent mold and odor buildup in front-load models
- Use HE detergent only and avoid overloading to prevent strain on the control systems
- Leave the door cracked open after cycles to allow moisture to evaporate
