Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from LG SIGNATURE's own guidance for E7 on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the full-size front-loader is sitting squarely on the SideKick.
Confirm the stacking switch at the back is seated correctly under the upper washer.
Book a visit if E7 stays with the pair aligned.
What not to do
E7 does not mean the small washer's drum or pump has failed; it is about how it is installed.
