1. LG Washing Machine Not Spinning

Possible Causes:

  • Unbalanced load
  • Faulty lid switch
  • Worn-out drive belt
  • Defective motor control board

Troubleshooting Steps:

  • Open the washer and redistribute the clothes evenly.
  • Make sure the lid or door closes properly.
  • Check for error codes like UE (unbalanced load).
  • If it still doesn’t spin, the motor or control board may need repair.

Tip: LG top-load and front-load washers like WT7155CW and WM4000HWA often show UE errors when overloaded or unbalanced.


2. LG Washer Not Draining

Common Causes:

  • Clogged drain filter
  • Blocked drain hose
  • Faulty drain pump

How to Fix It:

  • Open the access panel and clean the drain filter (usually at the front).
  • Inspect the drain hose for any kinks or clogs.
  • If the pump isn’t working or you hear strange noises, it may need replacing.

Look out for error codes like OE, which signal a drainage issue.

3. LG Washer Won’t Start

Why It Happens:

  • Door not latched
  • Power supply problem
  • Defective control board

Quick Fixes:

  • Confirm the door is securely closed.
  • Check your power outlet and try unplugging the machine for 5 minutes.
  • Press the Power and Start buttons again.

Still no luck? It could be a faulty PCB or control board – something best left to a pro.

4. LG Washer Making Loud Noise

What Causes It:

  • Worn-out bearings
  • Foreign objects in the drum
  • Loose parts or shipping bolts not removed

What You Can Do:

Remove any shipping bolts if your washer is newly installed.

Open the drum and check for coins, zippers, or screws.

If you hear a grinding sound, the bearings may need replacement – common in models like WM8100HVA.

5. LG Washer Leaking Water

Where It Might Leak:

  • Door seal (gasket)
  • Detergent drawer
  • Drain hose or water inlet

Try This:

  • Clean the rubber door gasket.
  • Don’t overfill the detergent tray.
  • Tighten the hose connections and check for cracks.

Leakage is a common issue in both older and newer LG washing machines if maintenance is skipped.

6. LG Washer Showing Error Codes

Common LG Error Codes:

  • OE – Drain error
  • UE – Unbalanced load
  • DE – Door error
  • FE – Overflow error
  • LE – Motor locked
  • CL – Child lock active

Look up the model-specific manual for exact meaning, or call us for help decoding your LG washing machine’s error codes.
