LG washing machine won’t drain
This is a problem you may encounter relating to LG Direct Drive washing machine troubleshooting. There are several things you can check including:

Water leaks from LG washing machine
If this is happening you can:
- Examine the inlet hose for damage or a loose connection
- Look at the drain filter area, clean, and reconnect
- Check the air vent of the washer outlet
- Ensure the right quantity of high-efficiency detergent is being used as excess suds will cause leaks
LG Washing machine child-lock is engaged
The child-lock actually locks the programme – this is to stop young children interfering with the cycle. You need to release this function for your washing machine to resume its normal operation. You do this by:
- Locating the image of a padlock with a face on it

- Hold for three seconds to lock

LG washing machine whirring when draining
The drain pump is normally the main cause of noises during the draining cycle. If the drain filter is obstructed this can be another reason. To unblock the filter you:
- Open the cap to reveal the drain plug and filter
- Unplug the drain plug to let the water flow out – you’ll need a container to catch the excess
- Open the filter and get rid of any dirt and debris by cleaning in running water
- Reassemble the filter and drain plug
LG washing machine stops mid-cycle
Another area of LG washing machine troubleshooting revolves around the cycles. LG machines are designed to constantly measure water level and temperature – and load balance. If any of these factors need to be adjusted the cycle will automatically stop. To ensure abnormal vibration isn’t encountered you should:
- Make sure the appliance is on level flooring – preferably solid concrete
- Evenly distribute loads of washing – and not overload
- Separate heavy items such as towels and jeans from light items like socks and shirts
