LG washing machines are quite reliable, but there are problems with them. If you have just such a washing machine, and suddenly she refused to drain the water, then this article is for you. What to do if lg washing machine does not drain water?
We'll figure out.
General issues
Prerequisites for problems with draining water:
- The pump buzzes harder, and the water drains longer. In this case, the laundry is wrung out worse, and the washing time becomes longer than usual.
- If the washing machine began to work louder (it hums or cracks), then the filter is clogged. He needs a cleaning.
- If the water does not drain during rinsing, then this indicates a failure in the program. The control unit is defective. The same malfunction is also indicated by the case if the door of the washing machine does not open periodically.
On a note! You can try unplugging the washing machine and plugging it back in. Perhaps the water will merge automatically when restarting.
Manifestations of the problem
- Water drains more slowly than usual.
- Unexplained problems occur in the program. An error.
- The program is interrupted before draining, and the water simply does not leave the washing machine.
- Descent problems are intermittent (they don't happen every wash).
- Rinsing system does not work. The washing machine sometimes hums or crackles, but the drain does not happen.
- When spinning, the washing machine does not spin.
Solution Overview
Possible causes of poor spin and their correction
- Washing machine LG turned on low rpm. Restart the program. This should help.
- Reduced engine power. It is necessary to check the brushes and motor winding.
- The tachogenerator is broken. The speed of rotation of the drum changes randomly. The tachogenerator needs to be repaired.
The reasons, why washing machine LG does not drain water
- There is a connecting pipe between the tank of the washing machine and the pump. He could be full of trash.
- There is a foreign object stuck in the pump itself.
- Filter clogged with debris washing machine.
- The pump is broken.
- Clogged sewer or clogged drain siphon.
- There is a blockage in the drain hose.
- The program control unit is defective.
- Problem with the water drain sensor.
We have listed only the main reasons why the lg washing machine has stopped draining water. Other options are also possible. The master will be able to determine the exact cause. Let's figure out how to repair such a washing machine. The other extreme can be a constant drain of water.
Why is the washing machine constantly draining water?
- Scale on pressure switch or its blockage;
- Wrong connection of the washing machine;
- The inlet valve is broken;
- Problem with the water level sensor;
- Leaks.
How to drain water from lg washing machine?
If the water could not be drained automatically, then we will try to do it forcibly.
Attention! Before draining the water, unplug the washing machine, prepare basins and rags.
To drain the water of the lg washing machine if it breaks, do the following:
- Some washing machines are able to drain water urgently. Behind the front panel next to the filter there is a tube with a cover.After unscrewing it, you need to slowly drain the water. If there is no such cover, then do not despair. There are other ways. But do not close the decorative hatch yet. We'll still need it.
- If your washing machine is on a podium, then you can disconnect the drain hose from the sewer and lower it below the level of the washing machine (for example, into a toilet or basin). The water will flow by itself. If this does not happen, then your washing machine has a leakage protection valve in the hose. Move on to another method.
- There is a filter on the bottom front of the LG washing machine. It accumulates debris from washing. It is necessary to remove the panel (usually this is a square, the purpose of which you did not even think about), slip the pan under the filter and unscrew it a little counterclockwise. To make the task easier, you can tilt the washing machine forward towards a basin or other tray.
Attention! Be careful with the muffler. The pressure of water can knock it out and there will be a flood.
- In addition, you can move the washing machine and unscrew the back wall. Under the drum there is a tube with a clamp. Takes it off and disconnects the handset. This pipe could become clogged, so don't be surprised if the water doesn't flow right away. Then clean it, be ready for the flow of water.
- If all these methods do not suit you, for some reason, then you can try tilting the washing machine back, then open the door and scoop out the water with a can, bucket or something else.
Important! Do not try to open the door if it is locked. You can break the automatic lock.
How to repair a washing machine after draining water
- cleaning filter.
If you did not get rid of the water in a third way, then it makes sense to look into the front hatch to the filter and clean it.There you can find the cause of the breakdown and a bunch of things that fell off during washing.
- Pipe cleaning.
We proposed this operation as the fourth method. If you prefer not to, then remove the back cover. We unscrew the fasteners of the drain assembly. He takes off the tube. We remove the collar. The water has already been drained, so not much can flow out. Then just press the handset. There are thickenings and interference, which means there is a blockage. We remove it and collect everything back.
- Impeller check.
If you checked the filter and pipe, and did not find a blockage, then it is in the pump impeller. It is right behind the filter. Some object could get into it, as a result, it jammed. Try to spin it. If it worked out without problems, and nothing fell out of her, then she is fine.
- Drain pump repair
We remove the filter. We turn on the washing machine in the spin mode. Shine a light on the impeller and see if it spins. We did not find foreign objects in it, we recall. If it does not spin, then the problem remains in the motor.
We buy a new pump (pump) and change it as follows:
- We remove the entire drain unit of the washing machine;
- We detach the drain pump from this assembly;
- Disconnect all wires from it;
- We install a new pump and assemble in the reverse order.
We figured out the prerequisites for breakdowns in draining water, the causes of this situation, ways to drain water and repair. Now you should not be scared if your home assistant suddenly refuses to drain the water.
