  If your LG Washer isn't operating, there are several things to check: * Ensure the control panel hasn't powered off due to inactivity by pressing the Power button. * Verify the appliance is securely plugged into a working outlet. * Make sure the water supply is fully turned on. * Confirm the cycle is correctly set, the door is closed properly, and press the Start/Pause button. * Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses and reset or replace them. Note that the appliance should be on a dedicated branch circuit and will resume the cycle once power is restored.

Why is my LG WV5-1275W leaking water?
- E
  Edward ScottAug 22, 2025
  If your LG Washer is leaking, the issue might be with your house drain pipes being clogged; unclog them or contact a plumber if needed. Alternatively, the drain hose may be improperly installed or clogged; in that case, clean and straighten the drain hose and regularly check and clean the drain filter. Also, make sure the drain pump filter cap is correctly refitted.

Why does my LG WV5-1275W Washer show a UE UNBALANCE ERROR?
- M
  Michael WestAug 25, 2025
  The UE UNBALANCE ERROR on your LG Washer indicates that the appliance has detected an imbalance. This can be due to: * The laundry being too wet: rearrange the load for proper spinning. * The load being too small: add 1 or 2 similar items to balance it. After rearranging or adding items, close the door and press Start/Pause. Note that the door must be locked before spinning can begin.

Why are there stains on my clothes after washing in my LG WV5-1275W?
- G
  Gregory MackAug 28, 2025
  If you notice staining on your clothes after washing in your LG Washer, it could be due to several reasons: * Bleach or softener being dispensed too soon because the dispenser compartment is overfilled; always measure these to prevent overfilling and close the dispenser drawer slowly. * Bleach or softener was added directly to the wash load in the drum; always use the dispensers. * Clothes were not properly sorted; always wash dark colors separately from light colors and whites and never wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled items.

What to do if my LG Washer cycle time is longer than usual?
- K
  Kristy BrooksSep 5, 2025
  If your LG Washer's cycle time is longer than usual, consider these factors: if the load is too small, add more items to balance it. If heavy articles are mixed with lighter ones, wash items of similar weight together to allow even weight distribution during spinning. If the load is out of balance, manually redistribute tangled articles.

Why does my LG Washer have a musty odour?
- W
  wdavisSep 7, 2025
  A musty or mildewy odor in your LG Washer may be due to the inside of the drum not being cleaned properly; run the Tub Clean function regularly. Also, the detergent dispenser drawer may not be cleaned regularly; clean it, especially the top and bottom of the drawer’s opening.
