Most common repairs needed to fix a LG washer
Electronic Control Board Replacement
A malfunctioning electronic control board can lead to various failures in a washer. This is because the board serves as the brain of the washer, controlling crucial components such as the water valve, drive motor, drain pump, and cycles. If the electronic control board fails, the washer may not power up or display the cycle status. Additionally, it might fail to fill, agitate, spin, or drain. In some cases, a shorted board may emit a burning smell.
User Interface Control Replacement
A faulty user interface control may become unresponsive and won’t allow you to change wash cycle settings or turn the washer on and off. In some failures, only one or two buttons or dials on the interface are affected, but in some cases the entire interface will be completely dead. Cycle status such as time remaining in the cycle won’t display properly on a defective user interface. Control keys or buttons on the user interface may also stick, causing the washer to exhibit inconsistent behavior, such as starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle. Error codes may also be present.
Motor Replacement
A broken washer motor will prevent the spin basket from rotating or agitating, and can also cause a variety of other issues that affect the washer’s ability to function properly. Signs that the motor is wearing out include unusual noises during operation, such as grinding or squealing sounds. The washer may also exhibit erratic spinning or agitation, with clothes not being properly rinsed or still soaking wet after the spin cycle. Additionally, a worn-out motor may lead to the washer not completing its cycles, stopping abruptly, or not starting at all. Burnt smells or overheating around the motor area can be indicative of internal problems. In some cases, visible damage to the motor itself may be apparent.
What to expect when you experience an LG washer display not working issue
How is the display not working problem fixed?
Correcting most display not working problems usually involves replacing the electronic control board, user interface control or motor. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.
Sears Home Services recommendations for a washer display that is not working
When the washer display is not working it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts, we recommend scheduling LG appliance repair with a local Sears Home Services washer professional who can perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of washer failures.
What to look out for with a washer display not working diagnosis
Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your washer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.
LG Washer Sound Not Working
When your LG washer sound is not working, check the settings on the washer control panel. On some LG front-load washers you can turn the sound on or off by pressing and holding the 2 buttons designated on the panel that control signal sound. If sound is turned off, press and hold the two designated Signal control buttons for 3 seconds to turn the signal sound back on. This may fix the problem with your LG washer sound not working.
Check the owner’s manual for your LG washer if signal sound is controlled a different way on your model. Follow the instructions to turn sound on if it’s turned off.
If sound wasn’t turned off and it isn’t working on your LG washer, a defective control panel, bad user interface control or faulty electronic control board could be preventing the sound from working.
Schedule washer repair service to have a Sears Home Services technician visit your home and fix the sound on your LG washer.
