What to do if my LG WT4801CW Washer is unbalanced?
If your LG Washer is unbalanced, make sure that the laundry inside the inner tub is filled evenly. Also, ensure the washer is not tilted by adjusting the legs.
What to do if my LG WT4801CW is not draining?
If your LG Washer is not draining, ensure the drain hose is properly positioned at 0.9 ~ 1.2 m (36 ~ 48 inches) above the floor. Make sure the drain hose is not plugged with a foreign object. Check drain pump motor contact and replace the pump if necessary.
Why is there no water supply to my LG Washer?
If there is no water supply, first ensure the water faucet is open and wait until the water supply is resumed. If that's not the issue, the inlet valve might be clogged with dirt, so clean or replace the filter. Correct the connector contact. The RED 6-pin connector may have a bad connection at the main board, so correct the connector contact.
Why won't my LG WT4801CW Washer turn on?
Your LG Washer might not be turning on because the power cord isn't properly plugged in, a house fuse is blown, the circuit breaker has tripped, or there's a power outage. Ensure the plug is securely in a grounded, 3-prong outlet (120-VAC, 60-Hz). Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. If it's a circuit overload, have an electrician correct it.
What to do if my LG WT4801CW Washer displays the UE error code?
If your LG Washer displays the UE error code, the automatic attempt to rebalance the load was not successful. The cycle has been paused to allow the load to be manually adjusted. Small loads may need additional items to be added to allow the washer to balance the loads. The load may have heavy items loaded with lighter items. Always try to wash articles of somewhat similar weight to allow the washer to evenly distribute the weight of the load for spinning. Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled preventing the automatic distribution from working properly.
What to do if my LG Washer lid won't close?
If the lid is opened during intermittent spin or normal spin, close the lid. If the lid is opened while processing reservation, close the lid. Check the connections to the lid switch and at the WHITE 6-p in connector at the main board. If the connection is good, check the lead wire and replace it if necessary.
What to do if my LG WT4801CW Washer fills with water slowly or not at all?
If your LG Washer is filling slowly or not at all, it could be due to several reasons: the water supply taps aren't fully open, the water line hoses are kinked, pinched, or bent, the water inlet filters are clogged, or the water pressure is too low. Make sure the water taps are fully open, the hoses aren't kinked or pinched, and clean the inlet filters. Also, check another faucet in the house to ensure adequate water pressure.
How to fix LG Washer when water drains slowly?
If water in your LG Washer drains slowly or not at all, the drain hose might be bent, pinched, or clogged. Ensure the drain hose is free of clogs and kinks and isn't pinched behind or under the washer.
Why is my LG Washer leaving residue or detergent on clothes?
Residue or detergent on clothes can occur if some detergents need to be pre-dissolved, so check the detergent instructions and try pre-dissolving the detergent. It can also happen if you use excessive detergent, so ensure you're using the proper amount. Also, try to increase the water temperature using hot water safe for the fabric.
How to fix poor soil removal in my LG Washer?
Poor soil removal can occur due to several factors. Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil amount, and water hardness. Use WARM or HOT water for normal soil. Different Water Temperature may be required according to soil type. Also, make sure you are using the appropriate wash cycle, such as Heavy or Soak & Heavy for heavily soiled laundry. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones. Pretreat stains and heavy soil before washing, using a stain removal agent or detergent.
