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. The Elwood list starts with companies that name LG, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on washers.

LG Washer Lines and Features
What Makes LG Washer Repairs Different
On LG front loaders the drain pump filter sits behind a service panel in the lower left corner and must be drained and unscrewed to clean. Source: LG Help Library - LG Front Load Washer Maintenance
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
What LG Says to Check First
- Off balance, shaking. For the UE code, LG says to redistribute the load evenly, avoid overfilling the drum, and make sure the washer is level. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
- 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
