We responded to a service call in Louisville, OH for an LG washer displaying a PE code flashing and constant uneven load code. After diagnosing the unit, we determined that due to the cost of parts ($2-300) and age of washer (5 years), it’s most practical to replace the washer.
The Problem
The customer contacted us about their LG washer showing a PE code flashing and constant uneven load code. These error codes were appearing consistently, preventing normal wash cycles from completing properly.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed that the repair would require parts costing $200-300. Given that this washer was already 5 years old, we assessed whether the repair investment made financial sense for the customer.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts used
- Work performed: Diagnostic assessment and cost analysis
- Result: Recommended washer replacement over repair
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG washers typically last 10-13 years with proper maintenance. However, when a 5-year-old unit needs $200-300 in parts, replacement often makes more financial sense than repair. This allows you to get a newer, more efficient model with updated features and a full warranty.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Clean the door seal and gasket monthly to prevent mold and odor buildup
- Run LG’s tub clean cycle monthly using the recommended cleaning tablet
- Leave the door slightly open after use to allow air circulation and moisture evaporation
