How to Fix CE Error

Hard reset the machine by flipping the breaker off for 5 minutes.
Inspect the main wiring harness at the door hinge for broken or pinched wires (very common on LG models).
If wiring is good, the issue is likely high amperage draw from the Circulation Motor.
Replace the Circulation Motor. If the new motor does not fix the issue, the Main Control Board may have been damaged by the motor short.
