The water level in the machine's tank has exceeded the set limit.
How to solve the problem without outside help? Your steps!

Check for the amount of foam in the drum. If the foaming rate is exceeded, remove the items from the drum and let the machine dry for about a day.

| FE code flickering, LG machine collects and drains water | The washing machine's water inlet valve requires repair; it leaks water when closed, causing an overflow. | If the washing machine's spring has become thinner and weaker, or the inlet valve does not prevent the "excess" water from flowing due to the membrane losing its flexibility, then the valve cannot be repaired and must be replaced. | from 3200 to 3900 rubles |
| At the beginning of the wash cycle, the washing machine drained the water, then stopped or continuously filled it with water, while the error code FE appeared on the display. | The water level sensor is broken (pressure switch), measuring the permissible water level in the machine. | The water pressure sensor tube may be clogged. You can clear it by blowing it out, but if that doesn't help, the pressure sensor definitely needs to be replaced. | from 1900 to 3900 rubles |
| My LG washing machine stopped while washing, and the error code FE flashed on the digital display. While stopped, the machine may drain, or water may remain in the drum. | The built-in computer software unit (microcircuit), or more precisely the washing machine control unit, is faulty. | The matrix tracks are burning out, or the pressure switch components are damaged. In this case, you can solder the tracks back in place and fix the faulty controller components. If the matrix is burned out or the processor fails, it will need to be replaced. | Repairs – from 3000 to 4000 rubles.
Replacement – 5500 – 6500 rub. |
| An FE error occurred during the wash and rinse cycle. When restarting the washing machine, the program displays an error code and prevents the wash cycle from starting. | The wiring in the washing machine control unit leading from the control unit (microcircuit or electronic controller) to the pressure switch has worn out. | Repair the damaged wiring from the control unit to the pressure switch, and insulate this area to protect against a secondary break. | from 1500 to 2900 rubles |
So, there are the main types of breakdowns:
- The electric controller is broken;
- The water level relay (sensor) is broken and requires replacement;
- The inlet valve allows water to pass through when "closed";
- Damaged electrical wiring.
