Error codeEd1
ApplianceWasher
The washer behind an Ed1 is an LG front-load model or a WashTower. Its message is that the liquid detergent in the reservoir held steady instead of going down, so the machine judges the detergent pump to be faulty.
Owner checks
Make sure the detergent is a suitable type.
Wipe any detergent residue out of the tray so nothing restricts the flow.
Ask for service if Ed1 keeps coming back.

Persistent Ed1? Our San Francisco line, (415) 223-7887, handles LG washer repair questions for the Bay Area. Note the detergent you use, along with the code and model number.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so Ed1 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
Ed1 on LG front-load washers and WashTower units means the detergent reservoir did not decrease, and the detergent pump is detected as faulty.
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.
