A LG washer shares most of its basic parts with other washers, but its drive design, lid or door lock, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions LG and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with LG, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
