Error codeEd1
ApplianceWasher
Quick answer
Ed1 means the liquid detergent in the reservoir did not decrease, and a faulty detergent pump is detected.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so Ed1 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
The liquid detergent in the reservoir did not decrease, so a faulty detergent pump is detected.
Ed1 appears on LG front-load washers and WashTower units when the amount of liquid detergent in the detergent reservoir did not go down. The washer detects a faulty detergent pump.
What the manual tells you to do
Look at which type of detergent is in use. Then clear any detergent residue out of the tray, since buildup there may be blocking the flow. If the problem persists, request service.
Related codes
The next code in the series, Ed2, reports an open circuit in the same detergent pump. Softener pump faults appear as Ed3 and Ed4.
