Why my LG Washer does not start or spin?

  If your LG Washer won't start or spin, ensure the electrical power cord is properly plugged in and the connection is secure. Check your house fuse, circuit breaker, or for any power outages. Also, make sure the water supply tap is turned on and the door is firmly shut. Press the Start/Pause button after closing the door; it may take a moment for the washer to begin spinning. The door must be locked before spinning. If the load is unbalanced, add one or two similar items to help balance it, or rearrange the load for proper spinning.
