LG SideKick Washer dE1 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code dE1
Appliance Washer

Seeing dE1 on a pedestal SideKick from LG means the washer’s drawer was left in a position that is not fully closed.

What LG says to do

Slide the drawer open, then shut it once more. LG offers that as the attempt to clear dE1, and the manual lists no other step for it.

Other door-type messages

  • dE2: drawer pushed in, yet the lock never caught
  • dE3: the lid or door could not latch
  • dE: the broader group of door messages on front-load machines

SideKick washer service near San Francisco

If dE1 stays on a SideKick, phone (415) 223-7887 from anywhere in San Francisco or the Bay Area, or open the LG SideKick washer repair page. Be ready with the model number and a note that you already reopened and closed the drawer.

Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so dE1 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

dE1 on the SideKick pedestal washer reports a drawer that is not closed properly.

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.
