LG sells top-load agitator, top-load impeller, front-load, and all-in-one combo washers in the U.S., and the repair path differs by type: front loaders add a door lock, door boot and pump filter, while top loaders rely on a lid switch and either an agitator or an impeller.

What LG Says to Check First
- Washer not spinning. LG says to check for an error code, spread the load evenly, make sure the washer is level, remove any coins or small objects from the drum, then run a Rinse & Spin test. Source: LG Help Library - Washing Machine Drum Not Spinning
- Washer not filling. For the IE water supply code, LG says to open the taps fully, straighten kinked inlet hoses and clean the inlet filters. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List
