What Makes LG Washer Repairs Different
LG top loaders come in two wash-action styles: an impeller that rubs clothes against each other, and an agitator that moves clothes side to side and up and down. Source: LG - Top Load Washers

LG Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- Washer not draining. For the OE drain code, LG says to check the drain hose for kinks or clogs and then clean the drain pump filter. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List
