Most common repairs needed to fix a LG washer
Control Panel Replacement
The control panel houses the buttons, controls and wiring that manage the washer's functions. It also houses the speaker for the chime. If the panel is cracked or damaged, it can disrupt the electrical connections between the control board or user interface and the chime. A cracked control panel may also cause damage to the speaker. There may be visible damage to the control panel. Inspect the control panel for any cracks or damage, and schedule an appointment with a Sears Home Services technician to replace the control panel if needed.
PCB Replacement
If the chime in your washer isn't working, it could be because of a malfunctioning printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB, also called an electronic control board, can lead to various failures in a washer. This is because the board serves as the brain of the washer, controlling crucial components such as the water valve, drive motor, drain pump, and cycles. If the electronic control board fails, the washer may not sound the chime at the end of the cycle or display the cycle status. If your washer chime is not working, schedule an appointment with Sears Home Services to inspect the washer and make the repair.
User Interface Control Replacement
A defective user interface control may prevent the chime from sounding, or it may become unresponsive and won't allow you to change wash cycle settings or turn the washer on and off. Cycle status such as time remaining in the cycle won't display properly on a defective user interface. Control keys or buttons on the user interface may also stick, causing the washer to exhibit inconsistent behavior, such as starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle. Error codes may also be present. Schedule service with a Sears Home Services technician if you suspect the user interface has failed.

What to look out for with a washer chime not working diagnosis
Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your washer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult
