That’s my washer, bought it in 2014, finally gave me my first OE (pump) error message tonight on a tub clean cycle. Gonna check the pump to see if that’s my issue. I hope it is and isn’t the board. Fingers crossed. Thanks for this video for showing me where that damn pump is.
doublewide, wanted to tell you THANK YOU so much for this video. I was having the same problem and with you instructions, was able to get into my pump.... turns out I had the EXACT SAME HAIR PIN stuck in my pump also! You saved me a lot of time, swearing, and money. Keep up the good work!!!

Question I just pulled out a Bobby pin from mine, but still not working. Did your pump kick on when yours was running? My pump seems to be intermittently turn on
Buddy you saved me hundreds of dollars was about to change the pump and finally it was the control board, many thanks great video
Thank You doublewide6! We have this same washer that gave the OE code today. I found your video and was then able to guide my husband to the culprit when he got home from work. We found one of his small drill bits stuck in the pump. He must have had it in one of his pockets and it ended up in the wash.
Thanks. Found piece of wire obstructing impeller. Removed and now seems to be working. Always empty pockets before washing. Thanks again. Love the zero $ repair.
Very lucky the bobby pin didn't break the impeller. I've repaired these type machines for years and it's important to make sure everything is out of pockets before doing the wash. Good job and what a great find.
Neill Southwick I have a UE code over and over again what can I do?
SPEED QUEEN!
What would cause this washer from starting to spin on spin cycle and then hiccuping and stop spinning
Dude, mine is “clicking” when I reach in and rotate the drum. I noticed an error msg during the cyCle that showed “LE”. Any ideas?
I'm glad I listened to your breakdown about this washer. I have an LG Wave Force with only difference being that my control panel sits atop of the washer. I kept having and "OE" Code Error and starting from scratch, I disassembled the hoses from the pump and checked to see if there was an obstruction of some kind and there wasn't. Now I've done this twice. The first time I tried this the washer ran two or three loads successfully until the other day when the Code popped up again and the tub would not drain. I vacuumed the water out with my shop vac and I went a step further this time and looked the pump over pretty good but, I didn't find any obstruction inside the pump. I've read other articles concerning the "OE" Code and your explanation was better however, I don't know much about circuit boards, amps, ohms, etc. and I don't know if the circuit board could be my problem. I'm trying my best to stay away from calling a repairmen to fix this thing because I have already done most of the work for him and I wouldn't want to call someone and they just come out and do something really simple to fix my washer and charge me up my ying, ying! I think my next attempt at fixing my washer will be to disassemble the pump itself because I have heard that one man found a needle inside of the pump and once removed it fixed his problem. Thanks for your video and sounds like you picked up a winner of a washing machine for $150 because when I purchased mine it was close to $1000 and the matching dryer was almost as much.
That machine is so clean, it looks new, good deal.
I have the exact machine and wondering if there is a lint feature? We have 3 dogs and hair everywhere.
At the 2:20 time mark on your washer shows a HOSE Clamp-on the inbound side of the pump. That is not a factory connection. Most of their washers had to be reconditioned, then sold as new. The hose is 2 inches too short and the travel of the tank to offset a lopsided load will one day rip that hose off. I repaced 12" of drywall in my washroom. Don't get caught by your wife saying "I told you so."
Chronic Chronic UE codes. Any fix for that except for running LOW speed spin? Huge problem everywhere about these units.
"She wanted a new one, that's just kinda her style...that's where we disagree a bit." Amen brother.
I purchased the LG Smart DRum Inverter with direct drive technology hydro shield top load washing machine in 2018, it is a money pit from start. Now the softener won't dispense. First it was the control panel, then other fixes, expensive, Thank God for You Tube help cause it has walked us through all the fixes so far. It says it has a 10 year warranty, but I am sure it doesn't cover this. What can I do to fix the problem.
I have the exact same washer. Now I have water dripping from the soap dispenser any suggestions on how to fix this.
I had the same problem with my Amana front loader. It was the end of a plastic clothes hanger. It stalled the pump and would error out. Cleaned it out and has worked great ever since.
+Dale Hobbs Good to hear you got it fixed. I'm wondering if my pump is damaged at all from being jammed up. I know the previous owner was using it and draining it into a floor drain. I guess the pumps are made to get locked up and not be damaged. At least I hope they are.
doublewide6 I think when it throws a code it's some kind of safety feature to protect the pump.
I need to get my chime working. How do I turn that on? it is a 1201 C model Thanks
I have the dryer that matches your washer. My LG washer has the controls at the back of the machine, but I am very, very happy with both. It used to be most appliances lasted 15 - 20 years without many problems--even washers and dryers. These days they cost 4 or 5 times as much and seem to have only 1/3 the life span. If I can get 10 or 12 years out of my LG machines, I'll be tickled to death.
+A LeBlanc I agree with you. We will see what the future brings. I would be happy with 7-8 years.
I have that same washer but something just happened … the drum is off track i believe. How do resolve this issue ?
FYI the pump code is OE. If you do not find anything obstructing the pump or drain pipes and determine that you need to replace the pump, the part number is 5859EA1004F for WT1101CW
I replaced pump and control board and my washer still isn't draining all the way.. still ends up with an OE error.. dnt knw wat else it can be
@@davidposada220 oh man I'm about to replace the board this is not the news i was looking for
@@davidposada220 did you ever figure it out? I just ordered a pump yesterday but after watching this video I hooked the old pump directly to 120v and it worked. I am now going to check the continuity between the board and the end of the pump wires.
thanks. I have this machine. Did you say you DID replace the mother board or the pump or both?
both
Mine looks like yours . But mine fills up with water and overflows . When it's not being used . I got to figure out how to remove the flow valve.
Thanks DoubleWide!!
I recently replaced my drain pump because of no drainage. Now my problem is that I can't get any power to the new one I just put in. Any suggestions??
I have this same washer and it won’t power on it turned off during a cycle
We have the same washer machine. Ours is making a humming noise and the drum won’t move
On an LG top load washing machine, is the washplate supposed to move independently of the outer washtub, or is that an indication that the splines on the washplate are stripped ? Thanks for the videos.
My washer won't spin anymore LE comes out n it stops.
Thanks for posting! I have the same model.
I have the same washing machine, i replaced the lower pump, cleaned all filters etc, code reading is 0E, i suspect it could be the mother board, its not actually releasing the water, any other advice
What was the issue please reply back I’m having this issue too.
Any suggestions on how to get the top off to access the inlet valve? I need to replace my valve but have no idea on how to get to it. Thx
im not having that issue but i ran a tub clean cycle a couple times but still getting dirt in with my washed clothes...where is this dirt coming from? its not from the clothes...
How did you get fhe Bobby pin out? I'm 100% sure I have the same problem.
useful information my friend thank you
Does this thing have a filter to catch objects? Looking for something valuable we lost….
That washer is Beautiful
Good stuff. Thanks for the very helpful vid.
Hey bro I have the same machine and it’s not draining what could possibly be the problem
Unclear. what's the problem and you replaced? pin, board or pump??
As soon as I set up for wash, the water turns on briefly and then trickles down. On the cold side this
Hey someone just gave me one but a tE code came on so I need a Thermistor so we’re is that located it’s a cheap fix only $24 for the part
HEY BRO,,,,MY WASHING MACHINE SUPER GENERAL 620 ALMOST SAME LIKE A YOUR LG WM,,,BUT I HAVE 1 PROBLEM,,,MY WASHING MACHINE DRUM IT'S JAMMED THAT'S SPINNER DOES'T WORKING ,,,PLEASE HELP ME WHAT I DO.
Thank you, very helpful.
Do you know how to remove the cover on the top of unit that covers the electrical wires? I am in need of switching out the power cord on mine. I have unscrewed the two screws on either side of the washer but I am not sure how remove the cover with out breaking the plastic cover. Thank you in advance!!
Did you ever find out!!
Woodrow Scriven, I also need to know this
There are 2 visible screws at the back which once removed releases the wire cover. You just need to unclick for it to pop out after screw removal.
The rear cover has three parts. Two smaller on the side and a long one one in the middle. Are all these parts connected and do they just pop out if I insert a flathead? I am trying to adjust pressure valve to get more water in the wash.
I am stumped as well. I removed the 2screws and i cant get the cover to move. I have pried and tried to pull it up, tried to slide it back, tried lifting one side, i just cant get it off.. any other ideas?
i have a non-pump type of this unit can i install a drain pump in it?
I brought a new pump and this same model still not draining
Does anyone know what the little door on top is?
I have this washer. A year old. Have issue with nasty gunk when I wash all over my clothes.
Had the same problem. Buy Affresh washing machine cleaner. Place one pod inside the tub (remove the wrapper) and run it on "tub clean" cycle. And do this ONCE A MONTH
How enter in test mode ?
Thanks for posting this video, we have the same issues with our washing machine (large loads, particularly towels do not finish the cycle)
I can't even get my machine to power on now, this is after a UE error code. Help? Wet clothes are stuck inside & I can't even unlock it. 😕
Anybody know where u can buy this pump
I am finally and I mean FINALLY rid of my example of that machine, and will never again own any product from LG. When mine died the first Sunday of May, 2019, just 5 1/2 years old, I went to Smith Appliance in Marietta, GA and bought the newly available Speed Queen AWN632SP116TW0, also called the TC5000WN, or simply "The Classic". While SQ did introduce the TR-series machines for 2018, the reviews were mixed. Speed Queen loved them, the customers didn't. The TC5000WN marks a return to an independent agitator and a tub brake that means they don't have to install a lid lock. The SQ has a true hot wash cycle whereas the LG limits the temp by mixing tap cold water, not what you need if you need a sanitize cycle. Best of all, the Speed Queen actually gets ground-in soil out of the denim in my work jeans, a feat that no HE machine I have used, front- or top-load has been able to do. No more repeated fills brim-full and drain cycles trying to balance the load, no more doodly-doodly-doodly t the end of the cycle. SPEED QUEEN OR NO MACHINE!
Anyone know how to shut off the sound on this one? Or change it?
How do I get more water into mine it's exactly the same one.
Use the bulky/bedding setting. It fills the tub to the top with water
Anyone else watching this just like can you just show me how to fix it lol
How do I fix the tE error code
Anyone got a replacement lid for this model they want to sell? My lid is busted due to the crappy hinges!
I have the same washer
I have the same LG top loader from Home Depot. I bought it July 2016. I had it a year and 7 months and its leaking from pump area. I called LG and they will pay for parts and labor; they gave me three places to call but each place said they do not service area. I Live in Delaware. It’s been two weeks. I’m pretty bummed.
Thanks
I have misubishi washing machine . the power card is fault . I search to find it in my country but I am not found it . could any body help me to send it to me . l need it so much .
I have almost the same LG, the problem that the washer doesn’t dry during the drying stage, the tub is not rotating during the drying stage.
Did you ever figure out why
Thanks for his video!! We have this exact washer and it wasn’t draining. Hubs replaced the pump and it’s still not draining 🤷🏻♀️ any ideas?!? Thank you!!!!
Kristina Melfis I have the same problem right now
Kristina Melfis you fixed the problem
Tell me I have been the same problem
Me too, replaced the pump and It still won't drain
Mo too
He mentioned it might be pump or circuit board in the video. . I also have this problem..
But you didn't show how to clean the pump
I have this kinda washing machine and the water level switch isn't so good, any idea how I can fix it
Yes. Trash it and buy a Speed Queen, preferably the TC5000WN. The Maytag COMMERCIAL (but NOT the big-box store "COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGY") machines work well, too. The Speed Queen AWN-series machines, of which the TC5000WN is the only example currently on the market, is identical mechanically to the workhorse Speed Queen and Heubsch machines at your corner coin laundry. The Maytag is available around $800, and I paid $1140 ($1029 plus tax and delivery) for the Speed Queen.
I have the same washer and just recently noticed water was leaking towards the front of the machine when in use. The backside of the machine was nice and dry. what could be causing this? I removed the hose that connects to the machine and a small amount of water spilled out. Is that a sign the pump is failing? thanks!
if there is water above the tub the pump is not working. It sounds to me like you have a leak. The washer always has a little water under the tub even though it is all done. That water will start to smell if you don't run laundry for over 5 days or so.
I ended up snaking the line that is shared with my kitchen sink at two different clean outs. I didn't see anything come back hanging off the end of the snake but I ran it down for about 20 ft each time. Turning on the machine and watching the pump operate, all seems fine and no leaks. At this point I just have to keep an eye out for any leaks.
What about error code E 6 ???????
How about PE ? Code
Lg top loader washer is stuck locked with clothes in it .....how do I manually open?
have you tried powering it off for a few minutes? my last washer would do that all the dang time
A four-pound blacksmith's hammer to the diamond glass lid should do the trick. The Speed Queen TC5000WN and other AWN-models don't have lid locks.
@@5610winston speed queen sucks better off with a scrub board
@@mikeschur7825 why do u say that
Im getting the PE error saying its a water pressure sensor but I cant get the damn top off to get INTO the place where I can access the sensor!
Did you ever figure this out?
Great job! $0 fixes are always nice and a happy wife = happy life! : )
+Darryl Landry I hear that!
Anyone know where to start with the LE error code? Same exact machine. The washing machine starts to fill and go thru the sensing mode,,, then it try’s to spin but doesn’t. Don’t know if I should start with the stator
Did you ever figure it out
@@user-ui5hh7hf6i yes, it was the position control sensor.
Nice find!
+Volusia-ev Not a bad find, now I need to find a dryer to match.
doublewide6 Repairs LLC Do you know how to fix “PE” code?
How to fix an AE error?
I like to know-how in the name of heaven you can open to top plastic cover in the back to get to the noise filter on these particular machines. There is a fuse in there. I have no power at all. I have taken off the door and every screw associated with the cover. All that seems to be left is pry them plastics. There has to be a fine trick to do so without busting them all.
Have one just like it not spending right
Where is the filter so I can clean it
My washer keep add more more spin time, then add more water. Can anyone help me out? Thank you
Yeah. Ditch that bitch and buy a SPEED QUEEN top-loader. The only thing worse than LG washing machines is the customer service. Those machines couldn't balance a pancake lying flat on the floor, and they use more water than Noah's flood. "High Efficiency" my ass!.
I'll add: I recently bought the newly available Speed Queen TC5000WN, model number AWN632SP116TW01, and couldn't be happier with the results
Mine is does the same, i think its bc its unbalanced and machine tries 3 times to balance its self b4 alarming you and that takes forever since each time it will fill with water and try to move clothes around which rarely works and then its been waaay over a hour and clothes still not washed- big pain in butt!
Does anyone know where the drain pump filter is on this unit and how to get into it?
there is none
My washing doesnt power up what to do?
Unplug it from wall. Then plug it back in
I have the same model and it keeps leaking water where the soap dispensers are. Any idea how to fix that?
jd061010 did you find out the problem?
jd061010 had the same problem, we replaced the in and out water outlet .its around $60.Its due to hard water build up that can destroy the outlet
Does this model of washer have a filter? If so, how do I access it?
Would like to know answer bc my machine is doing same thing
No these washers do not have a filter.
How do you connect the pump to a wall?
I’m thinking I need a new control board
E6 code what's up with that
what to do if the drain pipe keep on running even it was turn off
Sounds like it's siphoning out. Raise the hose end where it goes to the drain.
It’s the main board you need to replace
POS machine. 3 yrs old had to replace the agitator disk and bearing assembly. Constantly has UE or uE codes.(unbalanced.) fill the tub totally to try to re-balance . does this 3x then shuts down. waste of water and time. Takes HOURS to complete a load sometimes.
Double D what do you mean when you say ,”Off Balance.? Mine is in spin mode and says UE.
Only 2 hours? I timed my cycles using a calendar! My new Speed Queen runs a normal cycle in under a half-hour and actually gets the clothes clean. Watch the reviews on TH-cam; some models have gotten mixed reviews, but the TC5000WN is probably the best top-load machine you can buy.
I think mine needs the control board... no pump and spin with regular cycle, but if I initiate spin only cycle, it pumps and spins... Wasted over an hour with LG... started with 'chat', they wanted my purchase date, etc (i'm just the tech). They told me call customer service... automated customer service txt'd me a link... another dead end..
update: LG sent me another text message to 'rate' their customer service... so I gave them the symptoms again 🙃
You don’t have a video deactivating the CL “child lock” from this same washer
Hold down the "soil level" and that should turn it off/on
@@sevawells4644 been looking for this for a month lol thanks
mine is beko automatic washing machine its not spinning and draining..what would i do?
Whenever I buy this stuff I head over to Sears scratch and dent, always get a good deal.
+Curiosity Yeah that is how I got my last one. There was a little scratch on the side. I think they even gave me matching touch up paint.
$150!!?
Man I paid $400 for mine USED of course! $800 for both dryer and washer maybe a year ago!:/
You got it refurbished maybe ? This guy bought it as is
That's a $650 washer new. lol! Or was, about 6 years ago.
Can you come fix mine? 😅
Just fixed mine and it’s running like new now. Was so fed up with this error happening over and over again. Ordered suspension rods part # AJK72909308 and replaced them using another TH-cam video to show me how. Took 20 minutes to replace. Screw LG for not knowing that this fix is this easy and for not helping all of us that spent money on these washers.
D B what UTube video shows how to repair?
Thanks this video was super helpful! I have the same problem but Does anyone know what to do if it's not spinning during spin dry aswell?
I have the same problem
@@lyla3436 I have fixed the problem if you'd like to know?
There's a video on it if you just search "LG washing machine spin dry not working" I just unplugged the water level sensor and cleaned up the terminals then let them dry, plugged it back in, turned it on, tested the spin dry and it worked, I also got slightly electrocuted when I touched even the plastic of the water level sensor but it wasn't too strong of a zap and that way I knew its not grounded properly or something is bad with it so just make sure it's turned off when you clean the terminals, would definitely need to be replaced soon tho.
Also if that doesn't work then the water level sensor probs needs to be replaced, but you should test the water intake manifolds buy unplugging them and trying to run the spin dry mode like that and if it starts to spin then you know the water intake manifold needs to be replaced. Just to clarify Abit and save some extra research :)
@@kanenscott8883 what was your problem? Mine will get down to 11 or 12 minutes and will go into spin cycle but then will hiccup and stop spinning. It won't ever go into full spin cycle
@@user-ui5hh7hf6i that's exactly what mine was doing, I fixed it for awhile with the method above^ but eventually stopped spin drying all together and rinse mode started playing up aswell, I just bought a new washer by then but you could just replace the water level sensor and should be allgoods
LG=LOTSA GRIEF. HE=HELL ON EARTH
Ie is insufficient water supply
never will i ever purchase an LG again. transfer Case went out, so i have to purchase a new washer. its not worth fixing and its only a couple years old. looks brand new still, looks like imwill be purchasing a new Whirlpool brand.
Total agreement. LG builds shit, no matter what the product category.
Stay away from the Whirlpool group machines. They used to build fine machines about fifty years ago, but tha last two I had were terrible.
I bought a Speed Queen TC5000WN. works beautifully and my water bills are lower than they were when I had the LG.
I have been dealing with this machine needing repairs for well over a year home warranty keeps replacing parts well loud squeling noise stopped but now leaks water like crazy will never purchase another washer like this piece of crap!!!
More like 250 just the control board
