How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.
- 1. Check load and settings:
- Ensure the spin speed is not set to Low or No Spin.
- Redistribute the load and remove heavy items if overfilled.
- 2. Verify proper draining:
- Run a Drain+Spin cycle and observe if water pumps out quickly.
- If not, follow the OE drain troubleshooting steps.
- 3. Inspect suspension:
- Remove the top cover and press down on the drum.
- Excessive bouncing indicates worn LG shock absorbers; replace as a set.
- 4. Check hall sensor:
- If the unit attempts to spin but never reaches high speed, the hall sensor may not be reporting speed correctly; replace if necessary.
