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
Common LG Washer Problems
- Washer leaking. LG suggests first confirming the leak is from the washer, then checking the door area and an overfilled or residue-clogged detergent dispenser. Source: LG Help Library - LG Front Load Washing Machine Troubleshooting: Leaks
- 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
