If the washer does not work properly or does not work at all, check the items below before calling for service. For more detailed information or videos, LG directs you to the troubleshooting page at www.lg.com. Common Questions and Checks Loud banging noises while the washer is filling with water This is usually not a problem with the washer itself. It is often caused by plumbing in the home. When the washer’s water valve shuts off, it can make your home’s pipes move, creating a loud banging sound. This is called water hammer. It can be reduced by installing a water hammer arrestor. These are available at local hardware or home improvement stores. Very little water in the washer This is normal for an HE (High-Efficiency) washer. HE washers are designed to clean clothes using a minimum amount of water and energy. Because the water level is low, the detergent becomes more concentrated, which helps cleaning performance. Pressing a button makes the washer beep but nothing happens The Control Lock feature is on.

What to do: - Add additional items so the washer can better balance the load. - Try to wash items of similar weight together so the washer can distribute the load more evenly during spinning. - If items are tangled and the washer cannot rebalance them automatically, manually redistribute the load. dE, dE1, dEz, dE4 — Door Open Error The door is not secured. What to do: - Close and secure the door. - If the message keeps appearing, unplug the power cord and call for service. OE — Water Outlet Error This code appears when the washer has a drain problem.

Normal sounds during operation The following sounds are listed as normal operation: - Clicking: The door lock may click when the door locks or unlocks. - Spraying or hissing: Water may spray or circulate during the cycle. - Humming or gurgling: The drain pump may pump water from the washer at times during a cycle. - Water sloshing: A liquid in the balance ring around the pulsator helps the basket spin smoothly. - Water being added after the washer has already begun to operate: The washer may add more water as it adapts to the load size and type. It may also stop and refill if it senses the load is unbalanced, or it may be diluting laundry additives before adding them to the wash load. These sounds do not by themselves indicate a problem. Sounds or motion that may need attention Rattling and clanking noise Possible cause: - Foreign objects such as keys, coins, or safety pins may be in the drum or pump.

Hot and cold water inlet hoses may be reversed. - A hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. - Check the inlet hose connectors.
