How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off water supply. Be prepared for water spillage when removing hoses.
- 1. Inspect external hoses:
- Check the rear water inlet hoses for drips at both ends; tighten or replace as needed.
- Inspect the drain hose for cracks or loose connections.
- 2. Internal inspection:
- Remove the rear or lower front panel.
- Run a short fill and drain cycle while observing hoses and pump.
- Tighten or reposition hose clamps on the tub-to-pump and pump-to-drain hoses.
- 3. Replace damaged hoses:
- If any hose is cracked or swollen, replace with the correct LG hose part.
- 4. Tub leaks:
- If water appears to seep from the outer tub seam, the tub may be cracked; this typically requires tub replacement by a technician.
