LG Washer FE Error — Overfilling
LG Washer · Error code FE
What FE Means
FE (Overfill Error) means the water level rose above the safe maximum. The washer triggers the drain pump and shows FE to prevent an overflow.
Most Likely Fix
Overflow error - water level too high
Tools: screwdriver, nut driver
Diagnose first: Stuck-open inlet valve or a clogged pressure-sensor air hose causes the control to misread water level.

Symptoms
- Washer drains unexpectedly
- Too much water in the drum
- FE on the display
Common Causes
A valve that will not close keeps adding water even when the cycle is not filling. Most common cause.
A bad sensor mis-reads the level and lets the valve overfill.
How to Fix It
- Unplug the washer — a stuck-open valve can keep filling and overflow.
- Inspect and test the water inlet valve; replace it if it will not close.
- Check the pressure sensor hose for clogs and the sensor for accuracy.
