To Next PageTo Next PageWhy are my clothes wrinkled after washing in my LG Washer?
Wrinkling in your clothes after washing in your LG Washer can occur because the washer wasn't unloaded promptly, it was overloaded, or the hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed. Always remove items as soon as the cycle is done. Ensure the washer isn't tightly packed. Check the inlet hose connections.
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 does it mean when my LG Washer display shows an FE error?
If your LG Washer display shows the FE error, the water level is too high due to a faulty water valve. Close the water taps, unplug the washer, and call for service.
What to do for yellow or brown rust stains on clothes from LG WT4801CW Washer?
To restore discolored loads of whites with yellow or brown rust stains, use a rust remover safe for fabric.
What does it mean when my LG WT4801CW Washer display shows an LE error?
If your LG Washer displays the LE error, the thermal overload protection circuit in the motor has been tripped. Allow the washer to stand for 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool, then restart the cycle. If the LE error code still appears, unplug the washer and call for service.
Why does my LG WT4801CW Washer have lint on clothes?
Lint on clothes after washing can be due to overloading the washer, so avoid overloading. Also, make sure to remove all items, including tissues and papers, from pockets before washing.
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.
