This document is a service manual for an LG washing machine, specifically for model FH2D7RD*. It provides comprehensive information for LG technicians to diagnose troubles and perform service correctly.
Function Description
The LG FH2D7RD* washing machine is a front-load washer-dryer combo with advanced features designed for efficient and thorough laundry care. It incorporates a Direct Drive System, where a brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without a belt or pulley, enhancing durability and reducing noise. The 6 Motion technology allows the washer to perform various drum actions, or combinations thereof, tailored to specific wash programs, improving wash performance.
Key operational features include:
- Turbo Wash: Utilizes Twin Spray and optimization to save time without compromising performance.
- Water Circulation: Sprays detergent solution and water repeatedly onto the load, ensuring quicker soaking and easier removal of suds during rinse cycles, optimizing water and detergent use.
- Tilted Drum and Extra Large Door Opening: Facilitates easier loading and unloading of clothes.
- Embossing Drum & Waved Lifter: Enhances washing performance and reduces clothes damage.
- Automatic Wash Load Detection: Automatically detects the load size and optimizes washing time.
- Built-in Heater: Maintains optimal water temperature for selected cycles.
- Child Lock: Prevents unintended operation by disabling all buttons except the Power button.
- NFC (Tag On Function): Allows for course download and diagnosis via NFC-equipped smartphones (Android OS only).
The washer also features a Neuro Fuzzy Washing Time Optimization system, which determines the optimal washing, rinsing, and spin times based on water temperature, selected washing temperature, and load size to achieve the best washing performance. A pressure sensor is integrated for precise Water Level Control, stopping water supply at preset levels and ensuring proper drainage before spinning. The Door Control mechanism allows the door to be opened when not in operation, unlocks after 5 minutes in case of power failure, and locks during specific operational conditions (e.g., water level below 22.9 kHz or tub temperature above 45°C).

Maintenance Features
The manual provides detailed Troubleshooting and Error Diagnosis information for technicians.
QC Test Mode allows technicians to cycle through various test modes to check functions like motor rotation (clockwise/counterclockwise), spin speeds, inlet valve operation, water level frequency, and drying fan/heater operation.
Error Display codes help identify specific issues:
- IE (Water Inlet Error): Indicates insufficient water supply or failure to reach preset water levels.
- UE (Imbalance Error): Suggests an unbalanced load or tilted appliance.
- OE (Drain Error): Points to issues with the drain pump or clogged filter.
- FE (Over Flow Error): Indicates water overflowing, triggering automatic drain pump operation.
- PE (Pressure Sensor Error): Signals a faulty pressure sensor switch.
- DE (Door Open Error): Indicates the door is not closed properly or issues with the door switch assembly.
- TE (Heating Error): Points to a faulty thermistor.
- CE (Over Current Error): Suggests a main PWB assembly issue or short-circuited stator winding.
- LE (Locked Motor Error): Indicates motor harness connection issues, cut harness, or defective hall sensor.
- DHE (Dry Heater Error): Points to a faulty dry heater, connection issues, or a faulty dry fan motor.
- PS (Pressure Sensor Error): (Likely a duplicate or related to PE)
Smart Diagnosis™ is a troubleshooting feature that allows the appliance to transmit diagnostic tones to a call center via a smartphone, aiding in remote problem identification.
The manual also includes Disassembly Instructions for various components like the control panel, cabinet cover, dispenser assembly, noise filter, door, and door lock switch assembly, facilitating repairs and part replacements. Exploded views of the cabinet & control panel, drum & tub, dispenser, and dryer assemblies are provided for easy identification of parts.
