Troubleshooting common LG washer problems

Even high-performance washers like LG models can run into issues. Knowing where to look can help you get back on track faster.

Washer makes loud noise during the spin cycle

If your washer bangs, rattles, or vibrates excessively during spin, check the load balance and leveling first. If those look good, you may need to inspect the shock absorbers or suspension system. Get help identifying the cause with our troubleshooting guide for excessive vibration during spin cycle.

Washer won't drain or spin

When the washer won't drain, it could be a clog or a failed drain pump. If water is left in the tub and the spin cycle doesn’t engage, you may need to replace the drain pump in a top-load washer or check the control board or lid switch, depending on the model.

Commonly replaced LG washer parts

• Drain pump – Removes water from the tub during and after the wash cycle.
• Shock absorbers – Help stabilize the drum during spin; worn shocks can cause noise and imbalance.
• Water inlet valve – Controls water flow into the washer; replace it if the washer won’t fill or overfills.
• Drive motor – Powers the drum rotation; a faulty motor can stop the washer from spinning.
• User interface board – Controls cycle selections and settings; replace it if buttons or the display stop responding.
