Error codeEE
ApplianceWasher
Quick answer
EE indicates a problem with the main control board's EEPROM memory on LG top-load washers and dryers.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so EE 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
A problem with the main control board's EEPROM memory.
The EE code on an LG top-load washer, and on an LG dryer, indicates a problem with the main control board’s EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory).
What to try
Unplug the machine for 10 minutes. If that does not work, the manual says the main control board may need to be replaced, which is a technician’s job.
When EE comes back after the unplug, the unit may require a repair service. Call (310) 742-8008 and see LG washer repair. Give the model number and say how long it was unplugged.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
