Most common repairs needed to fix a LG washer

Water Valve Replacement

The water valve assembly controls water flow into the washer. A clogged water valve inlet screen will prevent the wash tub from filling with hot water, cold water, or both. Electrical failures in the valve may also prevent the valve from opening to allow water into the tub. The valve connects your home's water supply to the washer. A faulty valve may begin leaking into the tub or around the connections to the water supply hoses. If you suspect a faulty water valve assembly, have a Sears Home Services professional inspect the washer and replace the valve if needed.

PCB Replacement

A malfunctioning printed circuit board (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 power up or display the cycle status. Additionally, it might fail to fill, agitate, spin, or drain. In some cases, a shorted board may emit a burning smell.

Water-Level Pressure Switch Replacement

If the water-level pressure switch in a washer is bad, it loses its ability to sense, control, and maintain the water level in the outer wash tub. This failure may result in the washer not filling or overfilling with water. The pressure switch operates using an air tube attached to the bottom of the tub, which senses the water level. As the wash tub fills, air pressure in the tube pushes up on a diaphragm inside the water-level pressure switch. A post attached to the diaphragm opens and closes electrical contacts within the switch's body, thereby controlling the water fill and shutting off the water when the washer is full. If any components of the water-level pressure switch fail, have a Sears Home Services repair technician replace the switch.

What to expect when you experience an LG washer no water issue

How is the washer no water issue fixed?

Sears Home Services recommendations for a washer no water problem

When a washer has no water, it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts, we recommend scheduling LG washer repair with a local Sears Home Services professional who can perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of washer failures.

What to look out for with a washer no water 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.

When an LG washer never fills, blocked water inlets or misread sensors typically prevent water flow. Clothes remain untouched and unclean. Instead of running a fruitless cycle, try washer fixer near me. Adequate water supply ensures each load is fully washed.
