This manufacturer has both a different design and a different price range, which LG has a very wide one. The average life of this equipment is approximately 8 years, but as practice shows, their resource is much longer. If you follow the technical conditions, maintain it in a timely manner, then a household electrical appliance will serve you for several decades. Any breakdown of LG washing machines is repairable.
Let's analyze the situation when the washing machine does not produce the spin mode.What to do? What is the reason that the washing machine does not drain the water? How to make a fix? So why, on one fine day, housewives have to get wet, not wrung out laundry from the drum? Let's take a closer look at the causes of the breakdown. After all, only to find out the problem, you can find a solution and fix the problem. When the spin does not work and at the same time all other functions are working, such as washing, draining water, rinsing mode, then often the cause of the malfunction is human inattention.
Error overview
There are several typical mistakes that housewives make in the process of using an automatic washing machine:
- The first mistake is the wrong mode. For example, in the program "wool", "silk", "hand wash", "delicate wash", the spin mode is not provided by the program. As a result, we will remove wet laundry from the drum. This can be easily remedied by running the "spin" program after the end of the main wash program.
- There is an excessive amount of dirty laundry in the drum of the washing machine. Naturally, an overload of the drum occurs, as a result of which, the automatic washing machine does not wring out the laundry. This situation can be corrected by removing excess laundry from the drum.
Divide wet laundry into 2 piles. Press each one in turn. In the event that a wet down jacket lies in the drum, this means that it is too voluminous for your washing machine, or it is not evenly distributed over the drum during the spinning process, they are knocked together. In this case, you will come to the aid of special devices for washing - balls. Lay them together with the down jacket when washing and start the program. -
The next reason for not running the “spin” program may be a very small amount of laundry, which will also lead to program failure, drum imbalance. Your washing machine freezes during the spin phase. To restore the operation of the washing machine, you need to stop it, open the door, and evenly spread the laundry in the drum.
There is a little trick! when washing clothes, small clothes, put several large items in the drum, for example, jeans, a sweater.
- The reason why the washing machine may not drain the water is the resulting blockage in the drain. This will also affect the quality of the spin. For the smooth operation of the washing machine, it is necessary from time to time to clean the necessary-important components and assemblies, such as the filter, tank, drain pipes. Maintenance of the unit is carried out either manually independently or with the help of a service center.
Cleaning can be done using chemicals. It is important that when you put things in the washing machine drum, you check the contents of your pockets. From them it is necessary to pull out such small things as coins, keys, and other items that can clog the drain pipes of washing machines. So how do you fix oversights? What to do if the LG washing machine stops wringing out things? First you need to carefully look at what mode we have chosen. In some programs, the spin function is not provided, which is not a breakdown.
Possible causes of failure
- the motor has failed.
- Faulty tachometer.
- Faulty control module.
With prolonged use of the device, the motor, which is responsible for the movement of the tank, becomes unusable. The engine in LG automatic washing machines is very reliable.Breakage can occur only after 10 years after the start of use. After the expiration of a ten-year period, the washing machine may not only not wring out things, but in general it may not work properly. Problems are solved simply - you need to replace the motor. With constant overloads, do not be surprised that the LG washing machine stops spinning. This occurs as a result of a malfunction of the tachometer.
In this case, the help of a specialist will help you. Call a specialist at home and he will fix the breakdown, replace the failed part. The main board coordinating the operation of the washing unit is the control module. Failures in its operation directly affect the quality of the spin. And also for rinsing, water intake. Problems are solved by the master, who will replace the board. If you notice that your washing machine has stopped draining water and is not spinning clothes well, try to determine the cause of the problem. Probably the drain pipe is clogged.
It needs to be cleaned. Then evaluate the loading of the drum. With excess laundry, open the door of the washing machine and pull out the excess. Overloading laundry directly affects the quality of washing, rinsing, spinning. If all of the above actions did not give positive results, then you need to disconnect the washing machine from the network, wait a while and turn it on again. Reload. Program crashes often occur, which can be fixed by rebooting. If this time the problem is not solved, then call the wizard. With frequent overloads of the washing machine drum, the sensor responsible for the speed breaks. When it breaks, the washing machine stops spinning. It happens very rarely, but it happens.
It is likely that the matter is not even in the sensor, but in the wires that extend from the sensor and periodically oxidize. They may be loose.Very rarely, the washing machine does not work due to a burned-out engine. LG washing machines are equipped with inverter motors, they are very reliable, and work for at least 10 years. Changing an engine is very expensive. You can replace the tachometer yourself. There are problems with the control module. The performance of the control module can be easily checked by running the diagnostic mode. Diagnostic mode is available in all modern LG washing machines.
Turn on the washing machine, wait for the beep. Then immediately press 2 buttons "spin" and "temp". Start diagnostic mode. Then click the "Start" button. Your door should be locked. Press the "Start" button again, your washing machine will go into spin mode. If in this case it does not make revolutions, then there is a breakdown on the face.
You need to do the following:
- Remove the back panel of the case. Open access to the washing machine motor.
- Pick up a tester or multimeter and measure the AC voltage.
- Remove the wire plug.
Next, you need to measure the voltage between the contacts of the wires. If it is in the range of 140 - 150 volts, then everything is in order. In the event that there is no voltage, the module will have to be replaced. What to do if out of order pressure switch? The pressure switch sensor is located in the washing tank. It detects the water level in the tank and transmits the information to the electronic chip of the washing machine. The washing machine may not understand how much water is in the tank, as a result of which it stops pumping it out. The pressure switch cannot be repaired, it is better to change it to a new one. She is quite expensive. The right decision would be if people from the LG service center take care of its repair.
