LG Washer Error Code E-35

E-35 on an LG washer means the weight sensor has produced a negative calculated value, which is outside the valid measurement range. The weight sensor monitors load size to control water levels and cycle settings. This error causes the washer to stop operating until the fault is resolved. It most commonly points to the turntable being improperly seated on its roller or debris interfering with the sensor.

It is not recommended to continue running the washer while E-35 is active. The error means the machine cannot accurately detect the weight of the load, which could lead to incorrect water fill levels, improper spin speeds, or potential mechanical stress. Address the fault before resuming normal use to avoid further issues.

If the fix is simply reseating the turntable or cleaning debris from the sensor, there is no parts cost involved. If the roller assembly needs replacement, parts typically run in the range of $10 to $40 depending on the model. A failed weight sensor replacement, including parts and labor if a technician is involved, can range from $80 to $200 or more. Diagnosing the specific cause first will help determine the actual repair cost.

Start by checking whether the turntable is correctly positioned over the roller assembly and reseat it if needed. Next, inspect the weight sensor area for any foreign material, detergent buildup, or debris and clean it away. If those steps do not clear the error, check the sensor wiring connections for looseness or corrosion. A persistent E-35 after these checks may indicate a failed weight sensor that needs replacement.

A basic power reset may temporarily clear the E-35 code, but it will return if the underlying problem is not corrected. If the turntable is misaligned or debris is still present on the sensor, the negative value will be calculated again on the next cycle and the error will reappear. Resetting is only useful as a final step after physically inspecting and correcting the cause.
