Error code dE2 / E30
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

dE2 and E30 mean the door is closed but not locked. Check the gasket area, reclose and power-reset; SideKick washers have a drawer routine.

Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so dE2 / E30 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

dE2 and E30 mean the door (or SideKick drawer) is closed but not locked.

On an LG front-load washer or WashTower, dE2 (or E30) says the door is closed but not locked. The manual links it to overloading, items caught between the door and the rubber gasket, or a door latch that is bent or broken.

Front-load and WashTower steps

  1. Check the door area for anything that stops it closing securely.
  2. Open and re-close the door.
  3. Power off, unplug the washer or flip the circuit breaker, and hold START/PAUSE for 5 seconds.
  4. Plug in or restore the breaker and try again.

If the code persists, request service. LG also asks WashTower owners to close the door by pressing the center of the handle, and to request service for a damaged latch or gasket.

SideKick pedestal washers

The same code means the drawer is closed but not locked. If you hear a noise soon after starting a cycle, followed by dE2, the drawer closed but did not lock properly. Turn the washer off, pull the drawer open, restart the cycle, then close the drawer firmly.

Related codes

  • dE1: the drawer is not closed properly.
  • dE3: the lid or door did not latch.
  • dE: the wider family of door codes.
