LDT7808ST HE error

Your LG LDT7808ST is showing HE. Before replacing parts, confirm the model tag matches LDT7808ST: Open the door and look on the inner door edge or left/right side of the tub opening.

Cross-check part fit with LDT7808ST before ordering — use the model-specific parts diagram. If the code cleared after a reset but returned mid-cycle, treat that as a confirmed fault rather than a one-time glitch.
