TROUBLESHOOTING

Checking error messages

If the following message appears on the display, check the following and take the appropriate corrective action.

Message	Possible Causes	Solutions
	Item of clothing has gathered on one side of the tub. There are not enough items in the machine. Have your items gathered in one area, or is the load too small? Did you wash a stuffed animal, a mat, or knitwear? Did you wash two different blankets together?	Rearrange items to help balance the load. Stuffed animals or mats can become unbalanced during spinning and the washing machine may fail to drain. Rearrange the knitwear to help balance the load and drain it again. Put one blanket in at a time.
	Water is not supplied or the water pressure is low Is the faucet turned off? Is the water supply stopped or the faucet frozen? Is the water pressure low or is an inlet filter clogged? Is the water line properly connected with the cold water inlet? Is the water line pinched or bent?	Turn on the faucets. If a faucet is frozen, thaw it with warm water. If the inlet filter is clogged, clean it. (see page 35) Connect the water line properly with the cold water inlet. (see page 14) Check that the water lines are not pinched or bent. Take extra care that water lines are not twisted or pinched by other objects.
	Water line leaks in connection Are the water lines connected with the faucets properly?	Connect the water lines properly with the faucets. (see page 14)
	The tub does not rotate Is the door secured?	Close and secure the door. If the message keeps appearing, unplug the power and contact your nearest LG service center.
	The washing machine drains slowly or not at all Is the drain hose installed over 3 1/4 feet (1 m) beyond the end of the elbow bracket? Is the drain hose pinched or clogged inside? Is the drain hose frozen? Is the drain hose clogged with foreign objects?	Lower the drain hose within 3 feet below the end of the elbow bracket. Place the drain hose on a smooth surface to prevent bending. If the drain hoses are frozen, thaw them in warm water. Open the drain pump plug cap and remove the dirt.
	A power failure has occurred.	Press to turn off the washing machine and press it again to turn it on.
	Control Error.	Unplug the power cord and contact your nearest LG service center.
	The water supply does not stop Do the water supply and the drain keep repeating in turn?	Unplug the power cord and contact your nearest LG service center.
	The water level is not controlled Is the water level too low or high compared with the size of the load?	The water level sensor is not working correctly. Unplug the power cord and contact your nearest LG service center.
	The tub does not rotate Is the washing machine overloaded?	Rearrange the load size and restart the washing machine. If the load size is big, the tub may not rotate due to an overheated motor. Allow the washing machine to stand for a while and restart the cycle. Unplug the power cord and contact your nearest LG service center if the same error message appears.
	Time to run the Tub Clean cycle.	Empty the tub, insert bleach into the detergent dispenser and select the Tub Clean cycle. To skip the Tub Clean cycle, turn the cycle selector knob or push option buttons to select desired cycle. The reminder message reappears for a few wash cycles then disappears until the next scheduled tub clean cycle.
	If the washing machine detects too many suds, it displays this error code and adds a Suds Reducing cycle. This adds about two hours to the cycle time. If too many suds are detected during spinning, the washing machine stops to help prevent leaking.	Do not add more than the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent.
