How LG Washers Are Built

What LG Says to Check First
- Washer odor. LG links odor mainly to detergent that does not dissolve and to lint or hair left in the gasket or drain pump filter, and says to clean the detergent dispenser first. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Troubleshooting: Odor Buildup
- Door won't lock. For the dE code, LG says to make sure no laundry is caught in the door or gasket and close the door firmly; a bent latch or torn gasket needs service. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
