Quick answer

LG dryer dE means the door is not completely closed. Steps from the error code list.

Plain language

What this code means

Door error: the dryer door is not completely closed.

A dE code on an LG dryer means door error. The dryer is not completely closed. The code also reads as de on some displays.

Check the door first

Open the door. Make sure the lint filter is pushed all the way in and that no clothing is stuck on the door.

If the unit is brand new

Look for damage such as a bent door or frame. If you see damage, contact the dealer. If it is not a dent or damage, reset the unit.

  1. Unplug the dryer or trip the circuit breaker.
  2. Wait 5 seconds.
  3. Plug the unit back in.
  4. Close the door firmly.
  5. Select any cycle and press Start.

If the dryer gives the code again, it needs service.
