The checks, with LG's detail

1. 1Unplug for 10 seconds, then restart the cycle

   LG lists this as the only owner step for PE: unplug the washer for 10 seconds, plug it back in and restart the cycle.

2. Does PE still appear?

Same code, different meaning on other brands

None of the other brands in the verified set (Bosch, Samsung, Whirlpool) uses PE or E33 on the official pages read for this site. If your display shows PE on a different brand, do not apply these checks; use the lookup or that brand's own support page.
