Why my LG Washer does not start or spin?

  martinbobbyAug 16, 2025
  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.

What to do if LG Operating Guide Washer load is too small or out of balance?

  Daniel BeanAug 28, 2025
  If your LG Washer load is too small or out of balance, add one or two similar items to help balance the load and allow proper spinning. The appliance has an imbalance detection and correction system, and it may stop spinning or interrupt the spin cycle altogether if individual heavy articles are loaded. If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, add smaller articles of laundry to balance the load and repeat the spin cycle.

  Thomas SandersAug 31, 2025
  If you hear rattling, clanking, thumping, or vibrating noises from your LG Washer, stop the appliance and inspect the drum and drain filter. If the noise persists after restarting, contact your authorized service center. If the sound continues, the washer might be unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the wash load. Also, check the Installation guide for removing transit bolts if they weren't removed during installation. An unevenly distributed wash load in the drum can also cause these noises; stop the washer and rearrange the load.
