To resolve the issue, restart the cycle.
What to do if my LG WM2140CW will not turn on?
If your LG Washer won't turn on, ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60-Hz outlet. Also, check your house fuse or circuit breaker. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if necessary, without increasing its capacity. If a circuit overload is the cause, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Why won’t my LG WM2140CW spin?
If your LG Washer won't spin, make sure the door is closed properly and press the START/PAUSE button. It may take a few moments for the drum to begin to turn or spin after starting a cycle. The washer will not spin unless the door is locked (DOOR LOCK will appear in the display).
What to do if the door will not unlock on my LG WM2140CW?
If the door of your LG Washer will not unlock after stopping or pausing a cycle, it may be due to a safety lock to prevent burns. Allow the washer to cool until the DOOR LOCK indicator turns off in the display. Alternatively, allow the washer to complete the programmed cycle, or run the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain the water.
Why won't my LG Washer turn on?
If your LG Washer won’t turn on, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60-Hz outlet. Also, check if a house fuse is blown, or the circuit breaker has tripped, or a power outage has occurred. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse, but do not increase the fuse capacity. If a circuit overload is the issue, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Why is the wash cycle time longer than usual on my LG Washer?
If the wash cycle time on your LG Washer is longer than usual, it's likely because the washer automatically adjusts the wash time based on factors like the amount of laundry, water pressure, water temperature, and other operating conditions. This is normal, as the washer optimizes cycle time for the best results.
What causes rattling and clanking noise in my LG Washer?
If your LG Washer is making a rattling or clanking noise, there may be foreign objects such as keys, coins, or safety pins in the drum or pump. Stop the washer and check the drum and drain filter for any foreign objects. If the noise continues after restarting the washer, call for service.
How to reduce wrinkling in my LG WM2140CW Washer?
To minimize wrinkling when using your LG Washer, promptly remove items as soon as the cycle is complete. Avoid overloading the washer; it should be fully loaded but not tightly packed, and the door should close easily. Also, hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments, so check the inlet hose connections to ensure they are correct.
Why is my LG WM2140CW Washer filling with water slowly?
If your LG Washer fills with water slowly or not at all, make sure that the water supply taps are fully open. Also, check the water line hoses to ensure they are not kinked, pinched, or bent, especially after moving the washer. Another potential issue is clogged water inlet filters, which you should clean, referring to the Care and Cleaning section. Finally, check another faucet in your house to ensure that the household water pressure is adequate.
What to do if the door will not unlock on my LG Washer after pausing?
If the LG Washer door will not unlock after stopping or pausing a cycle, it may be due to a safety lock that prevents burns if the interior temperature is too high. Allow the washer to cool down until the DOOR LOCK indicator turns off. Alternatively, the water level might be too high. In this case, let the washer complete the cycle or run the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to remove the water.
