DE error code fix without replacing door switch 

My mom just called me over upset her washer died. Crying that she will have to buy a new one. I got on RU-vid and looked up the code, found your video and followed along. And sure enough it fixed it. You sir are a hero and this lady thanks you.

Thank you! Your easy-to-follow instructions made this repair simple. Within 10 minutes the machine was back up and running. I was hero of the house (at least for another 10 minutes!).

Reggie you are the best wash dry repair nerd ever! It worked and my wife said I went from zero to hero in 15min. Thanks again for all the knowledge.

DUDE -- thank you mucho for taking the time to post this. Mine looked quite a bit different inside, but the same basic principle applied, and I'm back in business without having to use feet and hips to contort the door over and over until it locked. Thank you, thank you!

I had taken the switch apart earlier looking for the problem to jump out at me. Figured I needed a new switch and ordered one for about $18. Then found your video and the obvious knocked me in the forehead! I immediatly removed, fixed and reinstalled switch and voila! It worked! I cancelled the order and saved $18! Thanks!!!!

Thanks a million!!! You just saved me from having to haul all our dirty clothes to the washateria...this totally fixed my washer! I also appreciate you going straight to the point and showing how to fix it. Oh and Blue is beautiful!!! ❤❤❤

Thank you for posting this video!!! You saved me a bunch of grief, more than you could ever imagine.

You saved me a lot of money. I fixed the door switch - washer is working like a charm. Best mothers day gift for my wife. Thank you for posting this video. Otherwise I would have gone and ordered the part.

Thank you so much!!! It worked! We have been having problems for 3 yrs with our washer. I found your video, repaired the door lock, and it was successful. I'm so happy.

Sir, you are basically a Saint. Thank you VERY much for this DIY fix, even I could do it! However ... I got your fix done, closed the door, and immediately the door wouldn't open again, yikes -- then I realised that I hadn't plugged the washer power cord back into the wall, thankfully once I got it plugged in the door opened just fine and the washer worked as you described!

Thank you! I removed my door lock and fixed it in about 5 minutes using your video. A great fix, much appreciated!

Same here, was outside working in the garden and wife came to complain. Pulled the switch cleaned the contacts and bent back. Works like a charm now. Thanks for your help, time and consideration of making this video!

This might be the most helpful yt video i've ever seen. Not only saved me a few dollars on a new lock, the washer was only down for a couple hours. Thank you!!

Thank you so much! You saved me so much time and money! Addon.. a closer look at the second contact underneath the one I had to bend up to make the connection, there was a round puck covered in some black stuff. I had to clean that puck and the bar holding it in. I've lived with this error for years and now it's fixed! Thanks to you!

Thank you so much for you easy step by step instructions. I am a widowed senior citizen. And, I was able to do this myself. Saving me the cost of a repair person. God Bless you!

This video Was helpful. Me and Mr Tammie followed the steps and we were successful in fixing our washer. Big Thanks to you. Please continue sharing videos. Life saver.

You are the MAN!! It worked on my LG TROMM. You save me time, money and nagging from my wife. Thanks again for making this wonderful video. Really really appreciated.

Thank you for posting this very instructive and easy to follow video. Yours is truly the best! I was able to fix my washer in no time thanks to you. thumbs way up!!

Fixed it! The contact was MIA, so I bent it back. Perfect, saved 30 bucks on the part. It's hard to imagine 40 thumbs down on this video. Obviously, those DIYers are clueless. Well done!

You fixed my issues and saved me $200. thank you so much. Love from Australia 🇦🇺.

This was so useful. I've been fighting the DE error for months, but finally had time to fix it and it was an easy solution. Thank yoU!!!

Thank you. Fixed the problem. Saved me the trouble if paying for a new switch and a service call. Did it myself in a few minutes. Washer is up and running!

Mine had a loose part when I opened it, so I couldn’t repair it the way you showed but I did order a new switch online for $13! Thanks a million!

Thanks. Worked has explained. Took me about 10 min. Removed the dryer top, disconnected the door lock switch cable, 2 screws. Followed your instructions and magic, family is washing clothes again. Watch the pins, use a flat blade like a fingernail file or knife vs flat screw driver. They are delicate.

Thank you so much! Instead of having laundry pile up while we wait a week for the part, we used your ten-minute fix and the machine is up and running! Awesome!

Thanks Reggie . i am the grandson of the maytag repairman. i spent summers going on service calls with him but back then they were all top loaders with mechanical timers . These front loaders , all electronic , are a new kind of animal 😀

Genius! I had pulled it apart and ordered a new part. I thought maybe the wiring in the magneto went bad. This fixed it right away!

Dude, you’re my hero. Thanks so much for posting this. You saved me a lot of money.

This worked for me as well. Quick repair. Really helpful. Thank you for posting this video.

It worked for us! Thank you Reggie for sharing your knowledge.

Fixed in under 10 minutes. Thank you 🦸‍♀️

Awesome. Thank you. My switch was a little different, and I didn't see anything wrong with it on the inside. Seemed like everything was connecting just fine. I took it apart, made sure it looked like everything was in its place (it seemed to be), and put it back together again. Re-installed it, and it's working like a champ. Who knows what it was, but I'm grateful it's working again!

Thx you saved me $180 today I did my repair right along with your video and it’s back working again!!

Worked like a charm, thank you very much!!! Saved me $25

Thanks man! I knew it gotta be something insignificant. My mom was already getting upset, like will need to replace entire washing machine! LOL

Thank you but could you do a video on how to get that piece out!

Super helpful. Ordered the switch, which is a week out for delivery. Was able to fix the old switch, using this technique.

Reggie, thank you for your post!! Saved me money, more importantly momma can wash her clothes!! Wasn’t the same switch but your post helped me sort it out and getting it working!

Thank you so much for making this video! At 1st I didn't see this video and I ordered a new switch from amazon. I installed the new switch and still nothing. So i figured I'd have to replace the board or something. As I was searching how to do that, I stumbled across this...am wamm this worked!

Thank you so much for making this video, you made my day. Thanks again.

Thanks! This was the source of my DE code as well for my LG Front Loader.

You are the man!!!!!!!!! Saved me money, and TIME!!!!!!! Thanks bro

Great vid. I did this and fixed the DE error. However, the door would not open after the cycle. Probably needs to be replaced. Getting to the release tab for the door lock was a pain. It is behind the springed hatch on the door lock. Love to see a vid that shows a close-up of how to release this latch.

Fixed the problem.. Fantastic video. Saved me a lot of money and headache.

Amazing. This worked. Thank you so much. You are really make the world a better place. Keep on giving your way.

Yo! This method worked !!! Thank you so much for the video. Everything else was not working to fix it. Thanks again!!!

Perfect. I didn’t know the contact was suppose to be engaged when door would be open. Thanks.

Great video! Took care of the dE error. Thanks!

Nice instruction, you saved my washing machine. Thanks.

Great video!!!!! Thanks for making it, fixed my lock issue in 10 minutes.

My washer is fixed. Thank you!

Thanks a lot. my contact was open. I did as you showed. Contact now closed. Installed and it washing clothes. Big Thank You.

Thanks for your help today I fixed my washer with your info thanks again

Thank you for this video. You saved me a big headache.

Thank You so much, you saved me some bucks. Did it just now, machine back to normal. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Thank you much, fixed it in a few minutes and back in service

This was very easy and worked!!!

Thanks!! Worked like a charm!

Thank you that’s pretty crafty! I think I might do a video on the door seal...after putting in a drain pump and completely reassembly the door switch goes out! I’m like NASCAR with the door seal 😬

Thank you!! i just fixed it thanks to your video.Thank you so much.

worked exactly liked you said, tyvm!

Thank you!! Exactly the problem. I’m definitely subscribing.

Thank you Sir! very informative and resolved my issue.

Wow, thanks for your advice, that's revive my washer machine. Thanks!!!!

Thanks, our washing machine presented the problem with the error code DE2, it is a newer LG washing machine, and the door lock is a little different but it does the same function, this video helped me and I was able to start the washing machine again, Later I will buy the new insurance to make the change, again thanks for this video.

This video saved the day! Thank you!

Thanks! You just saved me hundreds of dollars! I did just what you said. You're awesome!

Thank you! Awesome-Clear instructions.

thank you. I used this info to fix the switch on my Samsun dyer.

Hi there what should I do. my LG washer machine gave me DE code I raplace the door switch .I did fixed the original like you explained in you video I don't know what else should I do ?

It worked perfectly, thank you very much

Thank you so much GREAT instruction!

it looks very simple and will try it later. thanks for sharing

Thank you soooo much. Worked great. You're a hero in my house!

Thanks for a well done and informative video!

My Samsung front load dryer is a different model and 10 years old. The controls and display is on the front. My dryer has EXACT same problem. Logically, it should work if dryer has same symptoms. Took the lid off (2 screws). Controller board is located front left side. Removed and reconnected all connectors, tapped on the 2 black relay switches, closed everything backup, crossed my fingers and plugged it back in. Tested the display buttons and the door. IT WORKS NORMAL AGAIN! Problem solved. Will see how long it lasts. If it continues to fail then I will consider new circuit board. Thank you so much! Either it had loose/bad connector or relay gets worn and hung up.

Thank You Very much.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Fixed! Thank you!

Another LG washer saved by this trick today. Will be ordering a part but this will get it by for the time being.

great video; just saved me $50. thanks!

Thank you Sir. Video was a great and valuable help!

Thanks Reggie, this fix worked for me. Now mama can wash clothes!

I took my lg front loader washer apart to clean the seal, hose and filter/drain. When I put it back together I get a "de1" error code. It worked great before I took it apart. It doesn't make any noise like it's trying to lock when I try to start it. Do you think the door lock is still my issue??

I fixed mine..thank you!!

Thanks for your very helpful video.

You're the best bro !! 👍👍

Do you have a video to show how to get this switch out ? Could not find where get to this switch

You are a real hero thank you so much for the vedio

Worked!! Thanks!!!

This is great. I’m going to try it before I purchase a new one.

Because it's Friday, and the door lock failed in the middle of a load of laundry, I went ahead and bought a new switch. Can't have the washing machine down for the weekend. After completing the replacement, I took the old switch apart and no bounce whatsoever. Just as you said. Fixed it and now we have a spare in case the new lock mechanism ever fails.

This fixed my washer!! It was acting strange and kept giving the dE error even when it locked the door.

Thanks! It worked!

best video on youtube

Also thanks for your show

So simple, Saved my butt, thanks ;)

It worked! Thank you!:)

Hi Reggie, I cannot seem to get the door switch off the electrical part. Should I pull harder? Donna

Bro you are the best.
