LG Washer Error Code dEz

The dEz code on an LG washer means the control system has detected that the door is not properly closed and secured. The washer uses a door latch and switch to confirm the door is locked before operating. Until the door is confirmed as secured, the washer will not run. This is a safety feature designed to prevent water leaks and injuries during the wash and spin cycles.

Unplugging the washer for a minute and plugging it back in can clear the error from the display, but it will return if the underlying door latch issue has not been resolved. If the door is not actually closing and latching correctly, the code will reappear as soon as you attempt to start a cycle. A reset is only a lasting fix if the original cause was a one-time event like a door that was simply not pushed shut all the way.

If the fix is simply closing the door properly, there is no cost involved. If the door latch or door switch assembly needs to be replaced, parts typically range from around $15 to $75 depending on the specific model, with professional labor adding $75 to $200 or more depending on your location and the service provider. Getting a diagnostic estimate from a licensed appliance technician before committing to a repair is a good practice.

Start by firmly closing the door until you hear it click, then try restarting the washer. Check the latch area for any debris or fabric that might be blocking full closure. If the error persists after the door is securely closed, unplug the washer and contact a qualified technician to inspect the door latch assembly and door switch.

No, you should not attempt to run a wash cycle while the dEz error is active. The code means the washer has determined the door is not secured, and running the machine with an unsecured door can result in water leaking out during the fill or wash phase and poses a risk of injury during the high-speed spin cycle. The washer is designed to prevent operation specifically to avoid these hazards.
