Why is my LG Washer not starting?

  John SmithAug 20, 2025
  Your LG Washer might not start because the electrical power cord may not be plugged in properly, a house fuse might be blown, the circuit breaker could be tripped, there could be a power outage, or the water supply tap might not be turned on. Ensure the plug fits tightly in the wall outlet. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse, without increasing its capacity. If it's a circuit overload, have it corrected by an electrician. Also, turn on the water supply tap.

  Robert WillisAug 22, 2025
  Make sure that the door is firmly shut. Close the door and press the Start/Pause button. It may take a few moments before the washing machine begins to spin. The door must be locked before spinning can be achieved. Adding one or two similar items might help balance the load. You can also rearrange the load to allow proper spinning.

Why is my LG F14U1JBS Washer making a vibrating noise?
- J
  Jeremy FowlerAug 29, 2025
  The vibrating noise could be due to the transit bolts and tub support not being removed during installation, or the feet not resting firmly on the ground. If the transit bolts haven't been removed, refer to the Installation guide. Also, an unevenly distributed wash load in the drum can cause this. Stop the washing machine and rearrange the wash load.
