Question 3

What does error code EE mean on LG WM8980HBA?

Accepted Answer

EEPROM Error. Cause: EEPROM on main PWB is out of order.

Question 4

What does error code FE mean on LG WM8980HBA?

Accepted Answer

Overflow Error. Cause: Water is overflowing (water level frequency over 21.3 kHz); Inlet valve open continuously when power not applied (stuck open); Air chamber or tube clogged causing false pressure reading.

Question 5

What does error code IE mean on LG WM8980HBA?

Accepted Answer

Water Inlet Error. Cause: Correct water level (24.6 kHz) not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied; Water level does not reach preset level within 20 minutes; Air chamber or tube clogged; Filter inlet valve clogged with foreign material; Inlet valve connectors broken or loose; Inlet valve resistance out of range (should be 0.8-1.2 kOhm); Connector at MAIN PWB (NA2, NA4, BL3) disconnected; Main harness open circuit; Pressure switch defective.
