Why does my LG WK22 S6 Washer have staining?
- S
  Scott VaughnSep 4, 2025
  Staining in your LG Washer can occur if bleach or softener is dispensed too soon. This happens when the dispenser compartment is overfilled, causing bleach or softener to be dispensed rapidly. Always measure bleach or softener to prevent overfilling and close the detergent dispenser slowly. It can also happen if bleach or softener was added directly to the clothes in the drum. Always use the detergent dispenser to ensure that bleach or softener is properly dispensed at the right time in the programme. Finally, staining can occur if clothes were not properly sorted. Always wash dark colours separately from light colours and whites to prevent discoloration, and never wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled items.

How to resolve LG WK22 S6 UE UNBALANCE ERROR?
- B
  Barry YoungAug 25, 2025
  To resolve a UE UNBALANCE ERROR on your LG Washer, first, the clothes may be too wet at the end of the cycle. Rearrange the load to allow proper spinning. Close the door and press Start/Pause button. It may take a few moments before the appliance begins to spin. The door must be locked before spin can be achieved. If the load is too small, add 1 or 2 similar items or smaller articles of clothes to help balance the load. Close the door and press Start/Pause button. It may take a few moments before the appliance begins to spin. The door must be locked before spin can be achieved. Also, the drain hose could be kinked or clogged. Clean and straighten the drain hose.

Why is water leaking from my LG WK22 S6?
- C
  Christopher BrooksAug 26, 2025
  Water leakage from your LG Washer could be due to several reasons. The house drain pipes might be clogged, so unclog waste pipes and contact a plumber if necessary. Leakage can also be caused by improper installation of the drain hose or a clogged drain hose, so clean and straighten the drain hose and check and clean the drain filter regularly. The drain pump filter cap might not be fitted correctly, so refit the drain pump filter. Other potential causes include: the control panel has powered off due to inactivity, appliance is unplugged, water supply is turned off, controls are not set properly.

What to do if LG WK22 S6 door does not open?
- S
  steven46Aug 26, 2025
  If the door of your LG Washer does not open, it's likely because the door cannot be opened for safety reasons once the appliance starts. This is normal. You can safely open the door after H turns off.

Why is my LG WK22 S6 appliance not filling properly?
- S
  Stephen RiveraAug 27, 2025
  If your LG Washer is not filling properly, the inlet filter might be clogged. Make sure the inlet filters on the fill valves are not clogged. Also, the inlet hoses may be kinked. Check that inlet hoses are not kinked or clogged. Insufficient water supply can also be a cause. Make sure that both hot and cold water taps are turned on all the way. Finally, the hot and cold supply hoses may be reversed. Check supply hose connections.

Why do my clothes have greasy spots after washing in my LG Washer?
- C
  Cynthia NelsonSep 9, 2025
  Greasy or dirty spots on clothes after washing in your LG Washer can be due to fabric softener used incorrectly. Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener. It can also happen if clean and dirty clothes are being dried together. Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads.

Why do clothes wrinkle in my LG WK22 S6?
- R
  Richard PriceSep 9, 2025
  Wrinkling in your LG Washer can be due to the appliance not being unloaded promptly. Always remove items from the appliance as soon as the programme is complete. It can also happen if the appliance is overloaded. The appliance can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items, and the door of the appliance should close easily. Additionally, hot and cold water supply hoses may be reversed. Check the supply hose connections, as a hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments.

Why is my LG WK22 S6 Washer cycle time longer than usual?
- E
  Eileen MyersSep 3, 2025
  If your LG Washer cycle time is longer than usual, it could be because the load is too small. Add more items to allow the appliance to balance the loads. It could also be because heavy articles are mixed with lighter items. Always try to wash articles with similar weight in order to allow the appliance to evenly distribute the weight of the load for spinning. Finally, the load may be out of balance. Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled.

What to do if LG Washer buttons may not function properly?
- M
  Margaret MedinaSep 1, 2025
  If the buttons on your LG Washer are not functioning properly, it could be because the Bloqueo infantil (Child Lock) option is activated. Deactivate the Bloqueo infantil (Child Lock) option if necessary.
