How to Fix LG Washer Error DEL

Error Code: DEL Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: A variant display for the ‘dE1’ error, indicating the washer’s door is open and not locked.

How to Fix DEL Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Open the washer door and then close it firmly to ensure it is latched securely. Listen for a ‘click’ sound.
2. Inspect the door and the area around the seal for any clothing, lint, or other obstructions that might be preventing a proper seal.
3. Examine the door latch mechanism on the door and the lock assembly on the washer frame for any signs of physical damage or misalignment. The plastic or metal latch could be broken.
4. Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet for at least 60 seconds. This will reset the main control board. Plug it back in and try to start a cycle.
5. Access the door lock assembly, which is typically located behind the front panel, attached to the frame where the door latches.
6. Disconnect the wiring harness from the lock, remove the mounting screws, and replace the old assembly with a new one.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
