LG Washer Error Code EE2

The EE2 code means the washer has detected a switch error, specifically that a button other than Power appears to have been continuously pressed for more than 30 seconds. This can be caused by a physically stuck button, deformed plastic parts in the control panel, or a sub PBA that has been mounted with overtightened screws. The washer halts operation until the condition is resolved.

A power reset, done by unplugging the washer for a few minutes and restarting, may temporarily clear the EE2 code, but the error will return if the underlying hardware condition is not corrected. If a button is stuck or the board is physically stressed, the fault will reappear as soon as the machine runs its diagnostics again. A reset is useful for confirming whether the fault is persistent or intermittent.

If the fix involves only adjusting overtightened screws or freeing a stuck button, there may be little to no parts cost, though a service call can range from around $75 to $150 depending on your location. If the sub PBA or control panel assembly needs replacement, parts and labor combined can range from roughly $150 to $350 or more. Getting a diagnosis from a qualified technician before ordering parts is recommended to avoid unnecessary expense.

In many cases, yes. Start by inspecting the control panel for any button that feels stuck or does not spring back freely, and clean around all buttons to remove debris. If the sub PBA was recently accessed, loosen its mounting screws slightly and retest. If the error persists after these steps, the control panel assembly or sub PBA may need to be replaced, which is a more involved repair.

It is generally not advisable to continue running the washer while EE2 is active. The error indicates the machine cannot reliably interpret control input, which means it may not respond correctly to user commands during a cycle. Resolving the fault before resuming normal use is the recommended approach.
