Check that the full-size front-loader is sitting squarely on the SideKick. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can the LG SideKick run on its own, without showing E7? No. LG says the pedestal washer will not run as a stand-alone unit, and E7 is how it reports that. ### The SideKick under my LG Signature shows E7 after moving it. Why? Moving the pair can shift the upper washer off the stacking switch. Re-seat and align it before booking a visit. --- **[Read on the site: LG Signature washer showing E7 | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-signature-e7/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
