How to Fix LG Dryer Error bE

Problem: Button Error. A button on the user interface is stuck in the pressed position.

Unplug the dryer.
Massage all buttons on the control panel to see if one is physically stuck or depressed.
Press each button firmly and listen for the ‘click’ of the tactile switch.
If buttons move freely but the code remains, the user interface board is faulty and requires replacement.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.

Problem: Gas Valve Motor Error. The main board does not detect the gas valve coils opening or the igniter functioning correctly.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.

Problem: Drain Error (Hybrid/Condenser models). The condensate drawer is full or the drain hose is kinked.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.

Problem: Output Error / Drain Error. On condenser dryers, the sump pump is unable to evacuate water.

Check the drain hose for kinks or freezing.
Pour water into the sump area to prime the pump.
Test the drain pump resistance.
Check the float switch in the sump; if stuck up, the unit thinks it is full of water.
Replace pump or float switch.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.

Problem: Add Water. On Steam Dryer models with a manual reservoir, the water level is too low to generate steam.

Remove the water drawer (usually on the top left).
Fill the drawer with distilled water up to the fill line.
Reinsert the drawer completely.
If the drawer is full and code persists, check the level sensor float inside the drawer mechanism for movement.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.

Problem: Power Failure. The dryer experienced a loss of power during the cycle.

Clear the code by pressing the Start/Pause button.
Restart the cycle.
If this happens frequently without a household power outage, check the power cord terminal block for loose connections.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.

Problem: EEPROM Error. The main control board’s memory is corrupted.

Unplug the dryer for 5 minutes to attempt a hard reset.
Plug back in and attempt to start a cycle.
If the code returns immediately, the main PCB is defective and must be replaced.
