I have a LG 9kg giving me a code of UE.
I’m from Brighton
Could you send me a quote

    Since the error relates to an imbalanced load the first question is whether you have a balanced load. Too little washing (like one towel) or washing where you have one heavy item and lots of light things will cause this problem and washing machines can be quite sensitive these days.

    If you don’t think it is that then it could be a number of things so it is hard to quote exactly.

Washer won’t allow me to change cycle or anything else. There is a picture of a lock on the panel, the code CL.

AE is showing as an error code on our LG 9 kg front load washer.

    Hi Robert,
    AE generally indicates a water leak or an inlet problem.
    Turn the water supply off check for any visible leaks especially around the hoses.
    If the code persists or you find a leak arrange for an engineer to attend as soon as possible and do not continue to use the washing machine.

My LG Washing machine is saying ff on it. What does this mean?

    Hi Amy,
    FF usually indicates a problem with the water supply.
    Turn the washing machine off and check the taps are open and the hoses aren’t kinked.
    If the code remains I would suggest having a professional take a look.

My LG washing machine jut displays CL with a padlock. The dial light doesn’t move around to the different wash settings

    Hi Philip,
    CL means that Child Lock is enabled.
    To turn it off, press and hold the button with a lock/key symbol or “Child Lock” for around 3 seconds.
    The button combination varies by model so I would suggest checking your manual or give us a call.
