Error codeEE
ApplianceWasher
On screen: EE
Found on: top-load washers and dryers from LG
Cause named: trouble with the EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) of the main control board
What to try
Start by pulling the plug and leaving the machine disconnected for 10 minutes. Should EE still be there afterwards, the manual says the main control board may have to be replaced, and that is work for a service visit.

If EE survives the 10-minute unplug, phone (415) 223-7887 about LG washer repair in San Francisco or the Bay Area, and keep the model number next to you for the call.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so EE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
