On newer LG washers made in 2021-2024 in order to activate the test mode you have to turn it off, then press 1st and 3rd button at the same time(usually it's "intensive wash" and "extra rinse" and then while still holding these 2 buttons, push the "power on/off" button. Display should start flashing and then you can cycle modes by clicking "start/pause" button.
@@How-to-repair No worries, learned a lot from your videos a few years back when i was still an apprentice technician. At least i can return the favour and share what i know, if i already worked with such devices.
Hello, very pleased watching your diagnostic demonstration video on the LG front load washing machines. I acquired a LG front load machine model number wm2301hr that doesn't work. The machine won't even power up when plugged into 110 volt acquired outlet. I'm not a professional electrician but do have some knowledge and experience with ac and dc circuit's and mechanical knowledge. With my diagnostic troubleshooting and research led me to a fault in the PCB main control board due to the blown fuse in that control board. I replaced the fuse with the exact specs and tested. About 5 seconds of plugging the machine in, a thermal resistor began to smoke and I cut the power immediately. The fuse didn't blow and the resistor didn't blow. My understanding told me there's a internal issue or short in another circuit within the control board. I ordered another control board used in working order with matching serial numbers. I also ordered the upper user interface PCB boards as well. I will receive the parts on Monday. I'm wondering about the direct drive motor stator and hall effect sensor. I disassembled the motor and stator assembly from the tub and it visually looks like new. I'm thinking with caution to leave the motor unplugged when installing the PCBs during power up, the user interface should display the appropriate code for motor fault with it being disconnected. I'm definitely needing help activating the diagnostic mode for my particular model as you mentioned the differences between different models. Please let me know how to contact for help with these issues directly. Thank you
You can always send me your contact details through the website I'm sorry I can't put my phone number on here as I would get inundated. Also you said you're on 110 voltage so please leave the appropriate time to call based around GMT.
@allanconner1406 I've learned everything from TH-cam because my dad owned a business and never really taught me how to fix things. He was the best. That stuff just wasn't his thing. As far as my washer goes, it is very old, and it didn't scroll down so I could read the rest of the diagnostics. I pulled the whole thing apart for the 3rd time, drained it 3 times, and ran tests 3 times. What I figured out since it wasn't engaging the drain pump that I just bought is that I accidentally reversed the wires connecting to the pump. Nothing else was blocked, but since I didn't mark the wires and when I put them back, I had to guess... I guessed wrong. Lol. Thank you for the video. It helped me sort it out.
Are newer LG Washing mashing made in south korea it's an new mashing diagnostic mode. Button 2 and 4, it's an washer dryer. The maximum level is 229. Our reading in LG Washer is fuly empty is 225
Got OE code on my LG. After replacement the pump on my LG Wm3273cw still not draining. Did diagnostic test 1 through 8 Worked fine, 9 or 10 shut off the machine What is my next step. Thanks Dennis Please help
I have an IE code popping up and I have replaced the inlet valves and the pressure switch. Still have the IE code. When I run this test nothing pops up when the water fills. Any ideas?
Hi, please use our contact us page and make sure you fill out the request for what your problem is. I will need the full model number of the identification plate and the details of your problem so that I can provide you with useful literature. A video shoot of the problem would be perfect as well. I will get back to you within 24 hours, normally. www.how-to-repair.com/help/contact-us/ Please remember to subscribe to our channel, as that's what keeps this channel going. Thanks, Paul 👍
Quick question. I spend large periods away from home, what is the best way to ensure complete drain down and no standing water in a washing machine? Is the only option the filter/drain and leaving the machine door open?
I think that's the most logical thing to do. This will stop mold and the water getting stagnant. @aaaatttt101 please remember to subscribe to our channel as that really helps us th-cam.com/users/shortse432SAb2g08 Thanks, Paul 👍
Hi. My LG Front Load 5.5kg washing machine works only in Rinse+Spin mode and for all other modes of washing, the machine starts spinning and after about 2 minutes it gives an error by Audio alarm as well as blinking in Pre Wash and Crease Care buttons. Any idea to resolve this ?

Great video ! I have the same washingmashine, model WM8516WE6 , when i try to enter test mode the screen lights up F , first 3F and then 2 fade out and one remains, then all switch off. Any suggestion? Thanks !
@@How-to-repair Thanks. Argentina. Is not 3 F faul. Something is wrong.I press the power botton and 3 F lights up verry shady, blury and them 2 F amd then one F amd all off. All this is very quick. Take about2/3 secs.
@@federicobacher this does not sound like a standard LG error I suspect you may have a fault with the circuit board. Here are all the standard LG ever codes and what they mean. CL: Child lock is engaged DE DE1 & DE2: Door is open OE: Unable to drain water IE: Not filling with water UE: Load imbalance FE: Machine is overfilling PE: Water level pressure sensor fault TE Or HE: A problem with the water heater, element or thermistor LE: Large loads of washing for certain cycles SE: Motor fault or issue with the main PCB CE: Short circuiting of the motor or PCB PF: Power failure AE: Aqua Switch
This basically is doing that, it checks, all components heater, NTC sensor motor, haul sensor all water valves pump and recirculation pump fitted if anything is not working, then you should be seeing some sort of error code. The only thing it can't diagnose really is the circuit board and that's because this is the component that is running the test so it's very hard for it to test itself.
Thank you for the helpful video.

Thank you very much for the information it will help others. I have these machines coming in next week and I will be doing a detailed video on these.

Is it possible to run the auto diagnostics mode in Beko washing machines, i.e. checking all components of the washing machine one by one
I don't know what year Beko you have but this is the most recent video I have done on these washing machines th-cam.com/video/VFMOdgo9dhI/w-d-xo.html
