What we fix
Common LG washing machine problems.
Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
LE code, drum stuck
On Direct Drive machines this points to the motor rotor, its position sensor or the wiring to it. The motor itself rarely fails.
Loud roar on spin
Worn drum bearings. We strip the tub and replace the bearings and seal.
Not draining
Water left in the drum, or a code like 5C, OE or E18. Usually a blocked filter, hose or a worn drain pump.
Not spinning
Clothes come out soaking. Unbalanced loads, a drain fault, a worn belt or motor brushes.
Leaking
Water on the floor from a torn door seal, loose hose, cracked sump or overfilling drawer.
LG displays short codes such as OE, IE, LE, Er FF and CH. Send us the code with a photo of the rating plate inside the door or on the side, and we’ll bring the likely part.
