What EE (Washer Control Board Memory Fault) Means
EE indicates a problem with the main control board's EEPROM, per LG's dedicated top-load blinking-LED error-code article - the same general kind of board-memory fault LG documents for its dryers, though a separate code entry since it's a different appliance and control board.
Common Causes of EE (Washer Control Board Memory Fault)
- Temporary EEPROM read/write glitch
- Main control board EEPROM chip has failed
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Unplug the washing machine for 10 minutes, then restore power and try a cycle.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- If the 10-minute power-down doesn't clear EE, LG's own guidance says you may need to replace the main control board, which is technician-level work requiring the correct board part number for your model.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
