lG Washer Problems in White Plains: What You Need to Know
If you’re a homeowner in White Plains and your LG front load washer is giving you trouble, you’re not alone. Sultan Appliance Repair has helped dozens of customers in Westchester County fix or replace their LG washers. Below are the most common problems we see — and how to know when it’s worth fixing.
1. LG Washer Not Draining Properly
A washer that won’t drain is one of the most frequent issues.
Possible Causes:
Clogged drain pump filter
Blocked drain hose
Faulty drain pump motor
DIY Tip:
Before calling for service, check the filter behind the lower front panel. Twist it out and clean it thoroughly — you might find lint, coins, or debris. Also inspect the drain hose for kinks or clogs. If your LG washer in White Plains still isn’t draining, we can help.
2. Leaking LG Front Load Washer
Leaks around the washer door or bottom may be due to:
Worn or moldy gasket/seal
Overloaded detergent drawer
Cracked or loose hoses
What to look for:
If water is coming from the front, inspect the door seal. Many LG front loaders in humid climates like White Plains develop black mold in the gasket over time.
3. Washer Making Loud Noises or Shaking Violently
This is a major issue — and a clear sign something is wrong.
If you hear a loud banging during spin cycle and notice the washer shaking heavily, it’s likely due to:
Worn-out drum bearings
Broken spider arms (the internal support holding the drum)
How to diagnose:
Open the washer door.
Rotate the drum by hand — if you hear a rough grinding sound, the bearing is worn out.
Try moving the drum diagonally up and down — if it moves excessively, your spider arm is likely broken.
Important:
If you hear a knocking sound, your washer is likely beyond repair. The cost to replace bearings and spider arms in LG washers usually makes it not worth fixing.
4. LG Washer Error Codes & What They Mean
Understanding your LG washer’s error code helps you decide your next step:
OE
Won’t drain
Check and clean the drain filter
UE
Unbalanced load
Rearrange laundry evenly
LE
Motor error
Unplug and restart. Call for service if it returns
DE
Door error
Check if the door is fully shut
FE
Too much water
Faulty inlet valve – needs service
If the code keeps returning after a reset, it’s time to call an expert.
When Is It Worth Fixing Your LG Washer?
Repair is usually worth it when:
The issue is with the drain pump, control board, or gasket
The washer is under 8 years old and has no structural damage
You’ve already done basic maintenance (filter, hose check)
Repair is NOT worth it when:
You hear loud grinding or knocking sounds
The drum wobbles or moves up/down diagonally — signs of a broken spider arm or bearing
The cost of repair exceeds 50% of a new washer
