    Why is my LG WM8100HVA Washer draining slowly or not at all?
    • J
      James RobinsonAug 12, 2025
      The LG Washer might be draining slowly or not at all because of a few reasons. Try these solutions: * Lower the drain hose to within 3 feet below the end of the elbow bracket. * Ensure the drain hose is placed on a smooth surface to prevent bending. * If the drain hoses are frozen, thaw them with warm water. * Open the drain pump plug cap and remove any dirt.

    What to do if my LG Washer tub does not rotate (due to overload)?
    • M
      Michelle ScottAug 16, 2025
      If your LG Washer tub doesn't rotate due to overload, it may be because the washing machine is overloaded. Try rearranging the load and restarting the washing machine. If the load size is too big, the tub may not rotate due to an overheated motor. Allow the washing machine to stand for a while and restart the cycle. If the same error message appears, unplug the power cord and contact your nearest LG service center.

    How to clean the tub of my LG WM8100HVA Washer?
    • M
      Mark DaltonAug 20, 2025
      To clean your LG Washer tub, empty it and insert bleach into the detergent dispenser. Then, select the Tub Clean cycle. If you want to skip the Tub Clean, turn the CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB or push option buttons to select desired cycle. In this case, you would see the message again until a few washing times, and it would disappear until the next point in time to clean the tub.

    Why is the water not supplied or the water pressure low in my LG WM8100HVA Washer?
    • J

      If water is not being supplied to your LG Washer or the water pressure is low, check the following: 1. Turn on the faucets; if a faucet is frozen, thaw it with warm water. 2. If the inlet filter is clogged, clean it. 3. Ensure the water line is properly connected to the cold water inlet. 4. Check that the water lines are not pinched or bent, and take extra care that water lines are not twisted or pinched by other objects.

    Why is my LG Washer detecting too many suds?
    • Y
      Yolanda MartinSep 4, 2025
      If your LG Washer is detecting too many suds, it's likely because you're using too much detergent. Do not add more detergent than the manufacturer's recommended amount.

    What to do if clothing has gathered on one side of the tub in my LG WM8100HVA Washer?
    • N
      Nicholas WilliamsSep 7, 2025
      If clothing has gathered on one side of the tub in your LG Washer, rearrange the items to help balance the load. Stuffed animals or mats can become unbalanced during spinning, and the washing machine may fail to drain. Rearrange the knitwear to help balance the load and drain it again. Put one blanket in at a time.
