What dE means

dE on an LG Styler steam closet means the door is not completely closed, or the door-open indicator is blinking. It can also appear when the door is shut during a Dehumidify cycle, which wants the door left open about 45 degrees. The cycle will not start or will pause until the closet sees a proper door position. Models such as the S3MFBN use the same code.

Common causes of dE

A door that is not pushed fully to the closed position
A garment or hanger edge keeping the door from closing
A door that was closed during Dehumidify
A door sensor that does not register a closed door

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check the door edge and gasket for a hanger, sleeve or hem caught in the gap. 2. Close the door fully before starting a cycle. 3. If you are running Dehumidify, leave the door ajar about 45 degrees instead. 4. If dE shows with a clean, fully closed door, call us.

! Why to stop there

If the door closes properly and dE stays, the door sensor or its wiring is the next thing we test.
A door that no longer closes squarely can come from a loose hinge or seal, and we check the door fit as well.
We quote in writing first, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

dEdE questions

What does dE mean on an LG Styler?

The door is not completely closed, or the door-open indicator is blinking. Closing the door fully before a cycle is the first thing to try.

Why does dE appear during Dehumidify?

Dehumidify is meant to run with the door left open about 45 degrees. Closing the door during that cycle can trigger dE, so leave it ajar.

Is dE the same code as on an LG washer?

The letters look alike, but on a washer dE is a door lock issue. On a Styler it means the door is not fully closed or Dehumidify was run with the door shut.
