LG tumble dryer error "be"

Recently I got error "be" with my LG tumble dryer.

I found out that the error message means that the drive belt is completely broken. Actually the machine also sounded like the drum was not turning at all. I could hear the motor running, but as the belt was broken, it did not turn the drum.

I had to call a repairman, who was able to change the belt in 20 minutes.

The operation cost me 160 euros. The dryer is 4 years old, and it is the first and last time when I used money to repair it. New tumble dryer costs around 400 - 600 euros, so I think the machine has reached the point where it is not economically wise to repair it anymore.

Naturally, from ecological point of view, it is very wise to continue repair broken devices.

How to fix LG tumble dryer error "EHE" or "ELE"

My LG brand tumble drier, model TD-C70210E, suddenly gave me error "EHE" just seconds after start. And of course the warranty period was passed just with one week, how likely is that?!

After testing, and after some "EHE" errors I also began to got "ELE" error code. The manual and internet didn't give any DIY solution for these, just advice to call LG repair service engineer. I also tried the "leave the drier door open and leave it like that for about one hour" solution, but it didn't work.

But luckily I solved my "EHE" error with this amazingly simple trick, that I found out myself.

1. Start the drier normally
2. Before the "EHE" error appears, open the drier door!
3. Because the door was opened during program, "dE" error is shown
4. Close the door and press "start/pause" to continue
5. Program will continue normally; problem fixed!

Before calling repair service, you should first try and test this really simple trick. It may also work for you!
