Error codeE80
ApplianceWasher
A front-load LG washer that shows E80 has lost communication between two of its circuit boards, the display PCB and the main PCB. LG classes it as a control error.
What to do
Pull the power plug.
Wait a full 60 seconds.
Plug in and restart the washer.
When E80 stays on after that, put in a request for service.
If E80 returns after the restart, ring (415) 223-7887 to talk through LG washer repair in San Francisco and around the bay. We will ask for the model number and whether the 60-second unplug made any difference.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so E80 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
