Possible Causes

Internal control board fault, corrupted firmware, voltage spike damage, loose harness connections on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing internal components.

  • Power cycle: Turn the breaker OFF for 5–10 minutes, then ON. If E1 returns immediately, proceed with inspection.
  • Inspect PCB connections: Remove the rear upper cover and check all harness connectors to the main PCB. Reseat any loose connectors.
  • Look for damage: Check the board for burn marks, bulging capacitors, or corrosion. If present, replace the main PCB.
  • Surge protection: If your home experiences frequent surges, consider using a surge protector or having an electrician evaluate the supply.
  • If E1 persists: The main PCB is likely defective and should be replaced with the correct LG Studio part.

Warning: Do not attempt to reprogram or modify the PCB firmware yourself.
