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 a LG Washer Technician Deals With

LG washers read the water level with a level sensor connected by a hose, and a clogged sensor hose or oversudsing can cause overfill or sensor codes. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide
What LG Says to Check First
