It is not difficult to diagnose faults in the filler valve of an LG washing machine on your own, and it will not be difficult to repair this module with your own hands, if you act methodically, according to a pre-planned plan. Dismantling and replacing the filler valve with your own hands is carried out in the following order.
Note! Before placing the clipper on its side, remove the powder cuvette as directed by the user manual, as water remaining in the cuvette may spill onto the control box and damage the electronics.
Once the drain pump has been removed, it is best to have it checked and repaired by a specialist. Only he can finally say whether the pump has really come to an end, if so, then you need to buy and install a new one. Assembly is carried out upside-down. The easiest way is to change the pressure switch (water level sensor) of the washing machine. If you manage to disassemble it correctly, then it will not be difficult to replace it yourself.
Bearing failures are a matter of time or a factory defect. The user can influence this process only by the intensity of the use of the home assistant. Bearing malfunctions must be repaired immediately, because if this is not done, the loose pulley can damage the tank and then repairs will be very expensive. In this case, the user manual will not help; you either need to contact a specialist or study specialized information.
Bearing repairs must be done very carefully, using a special hammer with a bronze bump and a thin metal rod. It is necessary to pull out the bearing by striking its opposite edges. First, we place the rod on one edge of the bearing and strike it lightly with a hammer, then transfer the rod to the other edge and again strike it lightly. The procedure must be repeated until the old bearing pops out, then a new bearing can be put in its place.
In conclusion, we note that malfunctions of any module of the LG washing machine, you can try to fix it. Of course, even if you study the relevant technical information and expert advice, successful repairs are not guaranteed, but it is definitely worth trying, especially since in most cases you have to deal with typical breakdowns. If something doesn't work, you can read the washing machine repair manual.

To begin with, you should know that most cars of this brand are equipped with an emergency display system. If the machine is persistently trying to "tell" something to you with signals on the control panel, you should not ignore it (even if it continues to work). Take the instructions and see what the problem might be. You will not have to resort to more complex repairs later.
What are the most common problems with LG machines? Many faults are common to all washing machines. More often than other brands can fail - filler valves, drain pump, heating element. And the “Achilles heel” of LG's direct drive is the oil seals and bearings. Now - in more detail. First the problem, then the solutions.
There is no water in the mains.
The inlet hose is pinched or clogged.
The hose leakage valve (if equipped) has operated.
Filler mesh is clogged.
The water inlet valve does not work.
The pressure switch is not working properly.
Check for water in the plumbing system. If you turned it off, just wait for the resumption of its supply.
Inspect the condition of the hose. Eliminate pinching if necessary.
If the inlet hose has a safety valve, check its indicator. After the protection is triggered, the hose is changed to a new one (usually LG are equipped with conventional hoses, but options with a valve are sold separately).
The bay filter is removed with pliers. It is necessary to remove rust particles from it.
The filling valve can be checked by removing the top cover of the washing machine. When the valve is properly energized, it should open. Otherwise, it will need to be replaced.
The pressure switch is also located under the top cover and is attached to the housing. The tube suitable for it is checked for contamination. Further, the integrity of the wires and contact connections. The defective sensor must be replaced.
blockage in the sewage system;
the drain hose is clogged or kinked;
dirt on the drain filter;
the drain pump is faulty or blocked;
again, the notorious pressure switch.
What can be done to fix the problem.
- Disconnect the drain hose from the sewerage system and check if water will come out of it? I went - then the problem is in the blockage of the pipe. - If water does not come out of the hose, check it for blockages or pinching. - We clean the drain filter. It is located at the bottom of the front of the washing machine under the lid and screwed into the body. Before removing the filter, you need to prepare a container to collect the flowing water. If there is a drainage tube near the filter, you need to use it to drain the water. No - we put the pallet under the car and unscrew the filter. Next, everything is thoroughly cleaned and set in place. More often than not, this is enough. If it doesn't help, let's move on. - We check the drain pump. LG machines have more drain pump problems than other brands. This is due to the not very successful design of the drain path. What in turn provokes frequent blockages in the system. This prevents the pump from working properly. LG washing machines do not have a bottom. Therefore, the drain pump can be easily accessed by placing the machine on its side. We check the pump with a multimeter. Do not forget - when dismantled, water will flow from the pump. We disconnect the pipes and wires, unscrew the fasteners, take out the pump. A serviceable, but blocked, pump will have to be disassembled and cleaned of foreign objects. We replace the non-working one with a new one.
- In principle, in modern LG machines, a thermal sensor (thermistor) is installed directly in the heating element. Therefore, we will check both the thermistor and the heating element at the same time. Remove the rear wall of the car (by unscrewing a few screws). We find at the bottom of the tank, a heating element inserted into it. We check the heating element circuit with a multimeter. For a thermistor, the test consists of measuring the resistance at room temperature and in a hot state - there should be a decent difference. Thermistors rarely fail. Therefore, it is most likely that the problem is in the heating element. It will be necessary to disconnect the wires from it and carefully pull it out of the tank. Then a new heater is installed and connected. We check the operation of the machine.
- To check the relay, you need to check the state of the contacts on the control unit of the washing machine. To remove the control panel, you need to remove the top cover. Next, pull out the powder receptacle. Two screws are visible under it, which must be unscrewed. The panel is held by latches. From above we find them under the bar and squeeze them out. Carefully (without undue effort) pull the bottom of the panel up.
All of the above malfunctions can be caused by a breakdown of the electronic control module. In this case, you will need to completely replace it. Changing the control unit yourself is not at all difficult. The main thing is to remember or photograph the location of the contact blocks.
What to do? At the first squeaks and a suspicion of wear on the oil seal, it is better not to delay the solution to the problem. And do not wait until the bearing collapses. One way or another, you will have to disassemble the LG washing machine almost completely. Removable top cover, back and front wall. LG has an engine on the back of the tank instead of a pulley. First, the rotor bolt is unscrewed and the casing is removed. Then the stator mounts are twisted. And he's also filmed. As a result, you need to disconnect all pipes and wires that can connect the tank to the body. At the end, the shock absorbers are removed. The tank is removed from the springs and pulled out through the open facade. The screws securing the tank are loosened. Further, the process of knocking out the drum and replacing the oil seal and bearings is standard for all machines.
As stated at the beginning, all parts for LG washing machines are readily available. And DIY repairs are totally realistic. And in comparison with the prices of services, the benefits for the home budget are very noticeable. Download dle 10.6 movies for free

The washing machine LG WD 10180S has been received for repair. This LG machine gives error dE. The dE error on the LG washing machine means a door lock malfunction, or indicates that the load door is not closed.
We check the car, for this we turn on and run any program. We see that the loading door is tightly closed, but not blocked, and after a while the dE error pops up on the display. In LG machines, the dE error is short for “door error”.
We will check the serviceability of the sunroof locking device (UBL), as well as whether it receives power from the control board.
We turn off the machine from the network. Open the door and remove the hatch rubber clamp, hook it up with a flat screwdriver.
We fill the rubber inside the drum, unscrew the lock from the machine body. UBL is attached with two screws.
We take out the lock, take a multimeter and measure the power supply to the UBL. To do this, we insert the probes into the blocking connector and measure the alternating power supply, it should be like in the 220 V network, but we measure it with the washing mode turned on. Therefore, first we insert the probes, and then we turn on the machine to the network and start any mode, we look.
We see on the display of the multimeter that there is no power, and the fault code appears on the panel again.
We turn off the machine from the network. We conclude that the problem lies in a malfunction in the control board (electronic controller), so we will remove it.
First you need to remove the top cover. It is fixed with two screws, unscrew them, remove the cover.
Now you need to remove the control panel.
We remove the powder tray from our LG machine.
We see two screws, unscrew, then use a flat screwdriver to snap off the panel from the machine body.
What's so great about LG control board? The fact that all the connectors on it are unique and of different colors, so when we put it back together, we will definitely not mix it up.
The electronic controller is screwed to the panel, unscrew it and take it out.
Let's move on to repairing the controller.
For LG washing machines, the control board consists of two parts. One has buttons and a button driver, and the second, which is also the main one, is the power part. Various relays and control microcircuits are installed on the power half. This part of the module is filled with silicone sealant, so in order to get to the desired element, there are two options: either gradually scrape out the sealant and remove the power section of the module from the plastic box, or remove the control part from the plastic box and make a window from under it using a soldering iron in the right place ...The second option is much simpler, but the question arises: where to look for a malfunction and where to melt the window?
This defect is quite standard and from my own experience I will say that the problem is most likely in the power relay, it is either completely out of order, which rarely happens, or its legs are burnt out. The photo below shows a black relay.
So, using a flat screwdriver, remove the control half of the module.
Now, using a soldering iron, we melt the window under the elements we need, then carefully remove the sealant with a screwdriver.
In the photo we see a malfunction: the relay leg is burnt out.
We take a soldering iron and solder the burnt-out legs, we also solder the adjacent relays.
Solder back a piece of plastic with a soldering iron.
We assemble the device in reverse order, install all the units in place and check its performance in the washing mode.
This malfunction is not complicated, and it can be easily eliminated by a person who knows how to handle a little with a screwdriver and a soldering iron. But if you are still not confident in your abilities, then it is better to turn to professionals.
In order to do it yourself repairing an LG washing machine, you need to familiarize yourself with its design features.
Modern household appliances are easy to use and highly reliable.
At the same time, regular loads lead to wear and tear of various components and assemblies.
Today on the market, you can easily choose a washing machine that is suitable in terms of cost and performance.
Before going to the store, it is advisable to read the reviews of people who already use this or that unit.
The next point to pay attention to is the maintainability of the machine.
Washing machine LJI is a complex electromechanical device.
Its functional diagram includes the following components and assemblies:
water filling system;
heating system;
laundry washing system;
water drain scheme;
linen spinning system;
drying system.
In each new model, the developers improve some system or several components.
In order to exclude premature repairs, when installing and connecting the washing machine, you must strictly follow the rules set out in the operating instructions.
When loading clothes for washing, you should adhere to the recommendations for the volume and texture of fabrics.
The LG washing machine is not subject to special operating conditions. It is designed for normal household use.
The quality of the water and the tap is quite suitable for use without prior preparation. The video shows a washing machine installed in a regular bathroom in a standard high-rise building.
VIDEO
For the convenience of users, the designers have developed an indication system about the state of the main units of the unit.
Long-term practice shows that if all units are in full working order, the machine may not work. The main reasons that arise during the washing process are well studied and can be easily eliminated.
Often, when you turn on the washing machine, there is a rattling and knocking in the drum. In addition to this, vibration may occur.
It is possible that small foreign objects such as a ballpoint pen or coins have simply fallen into the drum. You need to stop the washing machine and inspect the drum.
A similar effect occurs when the laundry is unevenly loaded into the drum. Or there is too much of it.
Repair in such a situation is not required, it is enough to evenly distribute the laundry in the drum cavity. The vibration may be caused by an unstable position of the feet. They need to be adjusted.
If the procedures done do not help, then you will have to fix the problem with your own hands.
VIDEO
The design of the washing machine is designed so that all overflows of water from one reservoir to another are made through sealed channels.
If water starts to flow to the floor, it means that in some place the connection of the hoses is loose. This happened at the junction of the hose with the tap, or the hose with the input to the washing machine.
In this case, you just need to tighten the couplings at the connecting points.Water leaks even when the drain pipes become clogged.
In general, they must be periodically cleaned and not brought to such a state where the leak turns into a problem. If cleaning does not work on your own, you need to call a plumber.
In the event that water does not drain from the washing machine, it is necessary to carry out preventive repairs to the drain system.
The first thing to check when this trouble occurs is the condition of the incoming water filter. It is possible that it is clogged.
The second reason that leads to this effect is a clogged drain hose. Sometimes he finds himself in a stifled state. The third reason is that the drain pump filter is clogged.
VIDEO
Carrying out work to eliminate the malfunction that has arisen, you need to act consistently.
The video shows the cleaning procedures that must be performed carefully so as not to violate the integrity of the hoses.
When performing repairs or preventive maintenance of a washing machine with your own hands, you need to know about those nodes that fail faster and more often.
Among them are the following:
oil seals and bearings;
heating elements;
rubber transition hoses.
When another malfunction appears, you must act in accordance with the operating instructions. Focus on the signals that appear on the indicator.
For convenience, you need to have in an accessible place a table with the decoding of these signals.
Many years of experience show that following these recommendations, in most cases it is possible to establish the regular operation of the LG washing machine.
If the knock when turning on the machine cannot be eliminated, then you need to call the master or do the repair yourself. The video shows the sequence in which the drum is repaired.
Knocking or vibration during washing occurs because the bearings have worn out.
Therefore, the main task during repair is to replace a worn out bearing with a working one.
VIDEO
Along with the bearing, the oil seal is always changing, which ensures the tightness of the drum. The most important operation in this case is to remove the bearing and install a new one.
And also replace the oil seal, which protects the bearing from moisture.
When the washing process is delayed due to the slow heating of the water, you need to inspect the tubular electric heater. More often this element is called shortly - heating element.
Scale forms on it over time. In order to slow down the process of scale formation, various chemical preparations are used from among washing and special powders.
Practice shows that they help, but scale still forms, albeit at a slow pace.
The video shows how the heating element is removed and cleaned from scale.
Descaling can only be done mechanically using a metal brush. If, after repair, traces of rust are visible on the surface of the heater, it must be replaced with a new one.
Almost every housewife who does laundry has come across a situation where water flows out of the washing machine for no apparent reason.
VIDEO
In this case, the repair is reduced to finding the place of the leak and eliminating the cause. Very often, with regular washing, the tightness of the clamps at the fixing points is weakened.
If water flows exactly in this place, it is necessary to loosen the clamp, move it a little and fasten it again. It also happens that a crack forms in the hose.
In this case, there is only one way out - the hose must be replaced. Sometimes water leaks due to a broken door seal. The rubber gasket must be replaced or corrected.
Repairing a washing machine is always accompanied by nervous tension, hassle and excitement.Especially when it is done by hand.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, it is necessary to regularly perform preventive maintenance of the washing machine.
The video shows how the pump that pumps out water from the tank is cleaned. This pump must be cleaned after every wash.
VIDEO
In the same way, you need to clean and wipe dry the rubber seal between the drum and the door. Over time, deposits build up on the seal and it no longer performs its function.

Experts recommend cleaning the detergent tray. If you follow these simple recommendations, then serious repairs to the washing machine will not be required in the coming years.
