Error codeEd3
ApplianceWasher
When the softener reservoir of an LG front-load washer or WashTower stays full of liquid, the display reads Ed3 and the washer treats the softener pump as faulty.
What the manual suggests
Look at the softener you use. This dispenser takes liquid softener only.
Powder softener goes into the drum, added by hand.
Clear any softener residue from the tray that might block the flow.
Call (415) 223-7887 for LG washer repair anywhere in San Francisco or the Bay Area if Ed3 persists. Tell us the code, the model and which softener you have been adding.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so Ed3 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
Ed3 on an LG front-load washer or WashTower means the liquid softener in the reservoir did not decrease and a faulty softener pump is detected.
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.
