The “no power” happened to me earlier this evening. I watched your video and it worked! Onward two more loads this evening! What a life saver, thank you!!!
This is hysterical. My washing machine did this again 7 years later (see comment below). I did a search on RUclips on how to fix it and your video came up again. I love you again. And thanks for posting this. See you again in 7 years.
This was the best thing that happened to me today!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My 6 year old front load washer/dryer set is identical to yours. I had scheduled a serviceman to come at the price of $89.00 to walk in the door. I worried it would be the electronics and very expensive to repair. I didn't want to have to buy another washer as it wouldn't match the dryer. Your video saved the day!!! I couldn't pull the washer out as it was too heavy and I could not reach the plug. Instead, I turned off the breaker, followed your instructions and like magic, the washer worked again!!! Thank you so much!!!
My washing machine would not power on this morning, so I unplugged it and plugged in the vacuum cleaner to see if there was anything wrong with the outlet. The vacuum cleaner powered on so I know it was working. I grabbed my phone and went directly to RUclips and your video was the first one to watch. Thank you so much for helping me fixing my washing machine.
I’ve had my LG for 10 years now. Over the course of those 10 years, this has happened 3 times. All three times I looked up this video and it has worked like a charm. You’re my hero!!!!!!
Just a huge thank you for this fix! Was about ready to blow a gasket when all of a sudden it stopped working and the breaker wasn't blown. Such an incredibly easy fix and one that I am very thankful for.
You are my hero today! I had a horrible case of the Mondays. Started off with my truck breaking down. Two hours later I was up and running headed to work super late , then my wife calls saying our washer is broke (same exact washer as you). After a 10 hour day I came home dreading working on this washer and I found your video and bam this fixed it perfect! Thank you so much!!?
2021 YES! My 4 day old MAYTAG washer just quit last night. Blinking lights. ERR code. Even with the downloaded Maytag app, I was getting nowhere. Thank you SO much for posting this for all to see. IT WORKED! Insane that this trick is not in the problem solving guide section of the manual of all washers with control panels. Your decision to post on RUclips saved my sanity. I can go teach knowing my clothes will be washed when I return home. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I do hope you become famous and recoup your service call money.
My LG direct drive washing machine would not turn on. My initial instinct was to unplug the machine and plug it back in. My wife mentioned to check on RUclips and I am so glad I did. Your repair solution worked immediately! I am so impressed and relieved that I did not have to call a repairman or worse, purchase a new machine. My 12 year old LG is working great! Thank you Mad Catter!!!
4 years later and you're still helping people. Thanks so much for sharing this! I know WAY too much about how to repair this washer having taken it apart to fix... everything way too many times.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm pregnant, home alone, and was about to have a panic attack!!! You are my best friend right now, as I'm crying standing by my washer (hormones). Seriously, thank you to the ends of the Earth!
Thank you, Mad Catter! We've just returned from a year abroad, and while doing our first wash, the washer fell silent. It was working fine for our brother-in-law who was living in our home and used the washer with no issues. So you have saved our family a huge repair/replacement bill. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Michael & Michelle Binkley
These companies need a spank.....pathetic measures of integrity but also, too many consumers that don't fuss at the problem like you did. Well done and thanks.
I was reading through your comments. I don’t know if you ever got your $85 back, but I’d pay $85 for the opportunity to make as many people happy as you did in your video! 👍🏻
Thank you so, so much for the help. As previous others have said, you were able to "fix" my wife's washing machine in less than 2 minutes. Why aren't your solutions in their owners manual? Thank goodness for RUclips and especially YOU for posting - for all of us - particularly those frustrated husbands only thinking of "No, no, no. Not today! Not on Sunday! This is gonna cost me big time." You are truly a lifesaver. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! As my wife was looking for a Repair person, I went to you tube as I frequently do. Found this post for the same problem. I worked perfectly. Made our day.
Not only are you a life saver, but you possibly saved my house from burning down. Electrician put my washer on a GFI. The plug has a little green light saying all is good. Unplugged washer, did your reset. Came up power supply problem. Couldn't be. Everything is fine. Did another reset and heard a fuzzy buzzing sound from the GFI. Plugged in a hand mixer, (it was close in the kitchen, don't judge people) it would work randomly. The plug was bad. Thank you.
Great work with this video! Mine was the same. The problem for it was moving the stacked washer, dryer to get to the plug-just turn off the circuit breaker! You saved us at least $85 and more likely $850 to buy and install a new washer. Thank you!
Totally worked!! I literally just replaced the control board on my dryer yesterday and my wife came out and said the now the washer isn't working! I was about to freak out and tried your method and bingo! Thanks Sooo much!
Oh my god I’m doing this in 2024, and after getting depressed thinking about buying a new washer; I actually can’t believe this video worked!!! Thanks a lot and god bless 🙏
Thank you very much for this video. Our machine did exactly the same thing. That 10 second fix worked for us. Mad Catter, you are a Super Star for posting this video. Shame on the repair and sales people that seem very willing to rip-off unsuspecting consumers by not wanting this little secret out there.
LG washer/dryer purchased 1/22/13 (so, just over 7 years old). Same symptoms, no washing machine power at all. Recently have had to repeatedly open/close door - sometimes slamming it - to get the door LOCK to energize. Recently it started this "no power" problem and the Owner's Manual was of no help. SOMETIMES unplugging/re-plugging the power cord would get it going again but not so much recently. Tried a heavy-duty extension cord plugged into another outlet in the kitchen. That worked ... a couple of times. Found this little video and tried it - SUCCESS! (so far anyway! ... now lemme see if I can work out some kind of payment plan with MRS Jim!). Thank you so much!!
You are brilliant lady. THANK YOU for making this video. it just saved me allot of $$$. I tried this on my Kenmore; it stop working just as you described. I followed your steps it restarted and works just fine...
Girlllll, thank you!!! I was about to call the repair company and saw your video and less than 20 seconds later...it's a wash!!! Thank you so much for sharing your hack!
Thank you so much for this video! You just saved me a weekend and about $1000 for a new washer. I have an 12-year-old LG 4 ft.³ washer. Your solution to Repair worked like a charm! I couldn’t believe it. I had called LG directly, they gave me a bunch of steps to go through for troubleshooting none of which worked. I pretty much gave up and started looking for new machines until I saw your RUclips. Truthfully, I thought it was not going to work given the extensive troubleshooting LG already put me through. But it worked, and I am very grateful to you for putting this RUclips online. 12 years and this is the first time this happenedwith this washing machine. Thank you!
I want to say thank you, thank you a thousand times. It worked! This relieved me from the stress and money from calling the appliance repair man and buying a new washer! Your video is a Godsend!
I just had the same issue happen and unplugged the machine and did the 5 second hold down on both buttons and OMG it worked problem solved thank you big time!!!! Why the hell is this not in the owners manual this needs to go viral!!!!
Thank you so much for posting the video. It helped get my washing machine powered and started. Only problem is that I have to press the power and start button and plug it back for every new wash.
Yes saw your video and now my washer runs too! It would of cost me the same to have a repair man come out and probably do the same thing and charge me the $150 bucks to do the same thing or something else! Thanks so much for this tutorial on fixing the LG model front loader washer! Thank you for sharing! I am disabled and really can’t afford even a repair man but was willing to put it on a credit card and pay it off later! But you saved me so much money! Thank you thank you!
Not only did this fix our LG front loading washer (hopefully for good) but also saved a couple of rounds of 12 gauge double-aught buck that I was getting ready to pump into the fxxxxxx machine.
EXCELLENT! Outstanding post. You just saved me a repair visit/and-or purchasing a new LG washer! My lovely spouse was upset because your fix was not included in the LG instruction manual! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your post!
Had the same problem. Checked RUclips as a last resort. Watched your video and reset my washer. Working fine now. Thank you for sharing this. May God bless you and all people like you. Thank you.
3/3/24. Thank you for posting this video!! My washer died today so like you, I looked up the issue on RUclips and found your post. I was very skeptical at first knowing that simple fixes like this usually don’t apply to my problems but that was not the case today! It worked like a charm!! God Bless You!!!
Our machine is 10 years old this summer and yesterday no power in system. Thought 'New Machine' but tried your fix and thank you so much. it was easy and is now running again.
Tried it…and it worked…this should be the absolute first step! Even better than disconnecting the power in back…because often, moving it to get access to the electric outlet, just stat by turning off the breaker at the electric panel, and go through the steps she describes! Then put the breaker back on. Thank you for posting this video.
Honestly, Jayden, my life is experiencing some drama right now, and the nice comments I get from people about my post always cheer me up. That is payment enough.
Mad Catter awe, that's lovely. Just know that nobody, and I mean nobody, is immune to life serving up drama. Hugs from Australia, and hope you can make it through it all soon.
Hey, I realize this was put up 6 years ago but wanted to say THANK YOU!! Saved us a bunch of time/money and probably arguments with this fix that worked perfectly!!!!
My washing machine just died this morning after finishing a load without a problem. Found your video. Tried the procedure and it worked. You just saved me a lot of time, money, and frustration. Thank you.
This was a lifesaver! My units are stacked. Since I couldn’t get to the back to unplug, I turned off the breaker, pushed the buttons and then turned the breaker back on. The sound of the power on was music to my ears! Thank you so much!!
Holy crap. I've been hitting my washing machine like the Fonz every time I've used it for about a year now. It was getting to the point where it wouldn't work anymore, no matter how hard I punched it. Thank you from the bottom of my bruised and battered hand!
My wife was so pissed this morning because our washer wasn't working, made a quick search and found your video, thank you so much everything works now thanks to you! You saved us lots of $$$
We’ve had this same washer and matching dryer for 9years with little, to no issues. Today power stopped working to washer. Checked breaker, no luck. Used another plug, no luck. Husband spazed out thinking we were going to have to buy new one. I searched on here for solution and lo and behold, your video. Tried it and took all of 15 seconds and boom, like new. Thanks sooo much for sharing!
Someone please chime in here : This process of pressing the power and start/pause button, is this discharging the capicators? I imagine it's a sign of the a fault within the main PCB, as plugging it in after this causes an arc
Jason Ricci I would love to know as well, mine arched after this when plugging in as well Would like to know the real fix, not something temp that might make a worse break down the road..
@@tacos6996 it's absolutely the mother board that has to be replaced which is about $116 refurbished and $250 new. I was doing the same thing with my washer, except I had to go outside to our fuse box in order to power it off because I couldn't reach the plug. Works great for one load and then you have to do the process all over again. Which I did several times because I love my washer, but unfortunately it's only a temporary fix. It is about a $450 repair unless you do it yourself. New washer is about to arrive any moment and I'm so sad because mine looks like new and works great when it has power. Mine is going on 9 years. I remember when washers used to last 30 years
Yes, LG's are very reliable except it seems they've really cheaped out on their PCB board (which is ironic because they are an electronics company that just happens to make appliances as well😂) I believe the new models have much improved electronics (the ones that have the new PCB board are ones that have the slimmer LG letters rather than their old bold font)
The Technician was correct you will end up replacing the pcb to actually fix the problem. Yes you can reboot that way but you will more than likely get sock of dking that every time you want to do laundry. I see this with LG probably 3 to 4 times a month on calls. If you look at the pcb you will more than likely see some capacitors blown.
AMAZING: A determined owner & You Tube post provides the answer/solution to a common problem which a repair shop or manufacturer cannot! THANK YOU ma’am!
Mad Catter, Thank you so much for your video, you are awesome. I wasn't able to unplug my washer because of the plug location. However, I turned the breaker off, followed your instrustions. My washer is working again!!! Have a wonderful day.
Guess what people who thumbs downed the video - It works. A simple 10 second reset fixes the problem. That's confirmed because our machine did exactly the same thing. Thank to the video, we fixed it 10 seconds.
I have this set and my dryer wouldn't turn on. Almost in tears, I started searching for appliance repair in my area. Started watching RUclips videos and found this one. All I did was unplug it and plug it back in and it came right on!!!! Thank you!!! 😘😘😘🥰
My LG washer had no power just like yours. I tried your trick and voila! It worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are retired and can not afford a new machine at this time so you are my hero. God Bless you!
What in the mother loving? I did this and it worked! Was about to call a repairman. I don’t know how or why this worked but it did!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share. You are my hero and saved me lord of money!!!! Bless you my dear.
I was about to book an LG technician to come to fix my machine at $207/ per hour. Just before I hit enter for them to charge my credit card I checked with my wife first. She said, "Forget that! It's too expensive." So she goes to RUclips, finds your video, and fixes the problem. You saved us money! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Omg, you're amazing! I almost called a repairman and my husband suggested youtube. It took me less time to reset the electronics than it did to watch your video!
Well, bless your heart! At first I was frustrated because I was frustrated about my washing machine not working. I was also frustrated about listening to all of the backstory. But then I understood that you were frustrated as you wrote it or created the video I should say. my washing machine is stacked with a dryer on top of it in a closet built specifically for a washer and dryer. It’s wonderful and convenient. However, it is not convenient to get at the back. I ended up just turning off the breaker and doing your reset sequence. I went back down to the basement and turn the breaker back on. From the basement, I could hear the sound of the washing machine… The little chimes sound it makes. I am really grateful that you took the time to put this on RUclips. I’m also very grateful that your video was returned close to the top of my search results.
So I watched your video 3-4 years ago when my washer acted up. Today it did the same thing. I searched and finally found your video again and it’s working again!! I’d guess my LG washer/dryer are 9 years old. Thank you for your public service!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU! Did this to my 10 YO Graphite model like yours and it came back to life. I was dreading buying a new one. Not today. Not today LG. Thank you so much for saving us Mad Catter!
In 2024, 8 years after you posted this.... it worked, saved me stress, time, and money. Thanks!
In 2023, 7 years after you posted this video you saved me the cost of a new washing machine!!! Thanks a million!
In 2024, 8 years after you posted this, it just saved me a weekend of troubleshooting and potentially a new washer!
The “no power” happened to me earlier this evening. I watched your video and it worked! Onward two more loads this evening! What a life saver, thank you!!!
You don't know me but we're best friends now.
Lol! Right! 😂
Same!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Thank you so much it works
People like you make this world a better place. Thank you for sharing!
This is absolutely true.
Same LG washer had it for 5 years.
I tried your method twice and it didn’t work. Tried it plug in and boom it works now.
Thank you
I love you
This is hysterical. My washing machine did this again 7 years later (see comment below). I did a search on RUclips on how to fix it and your video came up again. I love you again. And thanks for posting this. See you again in 7 years.
7 years later and you are still helping people.
Thank you for posting this video!
This was the best thing that happened to me today!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My 6 year old front load washer/dryer set is identical to yours. I had scheduled a serviceman to come at the price of $89.00 to walk in the door. I worried it would be the electronics and very expensive to repair. I didn't want to have to buy another washer as it wouldn't match the dryer. Your video saved the day!!! I couldn't pull the washer out as it was too heavy and I could not reach the plug. Instead, I turned off the breaker, followed your instructions and like magic, the washer worked again!!! Thank you so much!!!
My washing machine would not power on this morning, so I unplugged it and plugged in the vacuum cleaner to see if there was anything wrong with the outlet. The vacuum cleaner powered on so I know it was working. I grabbed my phone and went directly to RUclips and your video was the first one to watch. Thank you so much for helping me fixing my washing machine.
I’ve had my LG for 10 years now. Over the course of those 10 years, this has happened 3 times. All three times I looked up this video and it has worked like a charm. You’re my hero!!!!!!
Mine just happened again, probably the 12th-14th time now, and I looked again too haha. Mine are 9 years old now.
Just a huge thank you for this fix! Was about ready to blow a gasket when all of a sudden it stopped working and the breaker wasn't blown. Such an incredibly easy fix and one that I am very thankful for.
You are my hero today! I had a horrible case of the Mondays. Started off with my truck breaking down. Two hours later I was up and running headed to work super late , then my wife calls saying our washer is broke (same exact washer as you). After a 10 hour day I came home dreading working on this washer and I found your video and bam this fixed it perfect! Thank you so much!!?
2021 YES! My 4 day old MAYTAG washer just quit last night. Blinking lights. ERR code. Even with the downloaded Maytag app, I was getting nowhere. Thank you SO much for posting this for all to see. IT WORKED! Insane that this trick is not in the problem solving guide section of the manual of all washers with control panels. Your decision to post on RUclips saved my sanity. I can go teach knowing my clothes will be washed when I return home. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I do hope you become famous and recoup your service call money.
My LG direct drive washing machine would not turn on. My initial instinct was to unplug the machine and plug it back in. My wife mentioned to check on RUclips and I am so glad I did.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm pregnant, home alone, and was about to have a panic attack!!! You are my best friend right now, as I'm crying standing by my washer (hormones). Seriously, thank you to the ends of the Earth!
Wow!! In 2024 this video saved me money by not having a technician come out for something I did in 5 seconds! Thank you so much for posting this! ❤
Just today March 2024 YOU SAVED ME IVE HAD MY WASHER SINCE 2009!! I thought i was over its working again! THANK YOU AND THE LADY FROM EBAY!❤
Thank you, Mad Catter! We've just returned from a year abroad, and while doing our first wash, the washer fell silent. It was working fine for our brother-in-law who was living in our home and used the washer with no issues. So you have saved our family a huge repair/replacement bill. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Michael & Michelle Binkley

I was reading through your comments. I don’t know if you ever got your $85 back, but I’d pay $85 for the opportunity to make as many people happy as you did in your video! 👍🏻
Five years later and you are still a hero!!!!! Worked like a champ. And my hubby doesn't have another project. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!! Fixed my washer in less than a minute and saved me from having to pay $65 just for a guy to COME OUT and LOOK at it!!

how did you know it needed a new control board? The reset method isnt working for me. Thanks.
July 2024 I tried this trick. It worked like a magic. No doubt you SAVED me hundreds of dollars if not thousands. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my god I’m doing this in 2024, and after getting depressed thinking about buying a new washer; I actually can’t believe this video worked!!! Thanks a lot and god bless 🙏

I want to say thank you, thank you a thousand times. It worked! This relieved me from the stress and money from calling the appliance repair man and buying a new washer! Your video is a Godsend!
No way! It worked! I was ready to run to the laundromat when my husband found your video. Thank you for posting!
Great video lol. I can hear how annoyed/angry you were. Going to try this now. Thanks!
Did it work?
YOU JUST FIXED MY WASHER I AM IN TEARS. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had the same issue happen and unplugged the machine and did the 5 second hold down on both buttons and OMG it worked problem solved thank you big time!!!! Why the hell is this not in the owners manual this needs to go viral!!!!
Thank you so much for posting the video. It helped get my washing machine powered and started. Only problem is that I have to press the power and start button and plug it back for every new wash.
THANK YOU for making that video. it just saved my wife and I allot of $$$.
2:27 throwing that shade with her heels in the door reflection got me feelin somethin strange 😂😂😂
God Bless You, I was about to call a LG tech and than I saw your posted video, my machine start working again.
Yes saw your video and now my washer runs too!

Thank you! This worked for me. I could not move the washer to reach to cord, so I just flipped the circuit breaker and that did the trick. Hooray!
That's what I did, too!
Not only did this fix our LG front loading washer (hopefully for good) but also saved a couple of rounds of 12 gauge double-aught buck that I was getting ready to pump into the fxxxxxx machine.
John H. Ellis hahahaha
I was thinking the same thing. Actually, I was looking forward to blasting holes into the thing. Nothing but bad luck with overpriced LG garbage.
EXCELLENT! Outstanding post. You just saved me a repair visit/and-or purchasing a new LG washer! My lovely spouse was upset because your fix was not included in the LG instruction manual! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your post!
Had the same problem. Checked RUclips as a last resort. Watched your video and reset my washer. Working fine now. Thank you for sharing this. May God bless you and all people like you. Thank you.
Omg!! You’re an angel sent from the heavens!! Thank you!!!♥️♥️♥️
YOU ARE MY HEROOOOO!!! Thank you so much!!!
The first video I came to and 3 minutes later I'm back to washing clothes! Thank you so so much!!!
3/3/24. Thank you for posting this video!! My washer died today so like you, I looked up the issue on RUclips and found your post. I was very skeptical at first knowing that simple fixes like this usually don’t apply to my problems but that was not the case today! It worked like a charm!! God Bless You!!!
Our machine is 10 years old this summer and yesterday no power in system. Thought 'New Machine' but tried your fix and thank you so much. it was easy and is now running again.
"pissed me off" haha good woman! Thanks for the post and appreciate your candor.
Awesome helped me out especially during this covid19 period when the call centers were down. You rock
Tried it…and it worked…this should be the absolute first step! Even better than disconnecting the power in back…because often, moving it to get access to the electric outlet, just stat by turning off the breaker at the electric panel, and go through the steps she describes! Then put the breaker back on. Thank you for posting this video.
You make this video over 7yrs ago and it just helped me today. Thank you very much
You should start a patreon page so people can donate to you for this. Or set up an PayPal account because this may save ppl a lot of money!
Honestly, Jayden, my life is experiencing some drama right now, and the nice comments I get from people about my post always cheer me up. That is payment enough.
Mad Catter awe, that's lovely. Just know that nobody, and I mean nobody, is immune to life serving up drama. Hugs from Australia, and hope you can make it through it all soon.
THANK YOU!!!!
Omggggg girl i hope u have a today thanks for saving me 😩❤️❤️
Hey, I realize this was put up 6 years ago but wanted to say THANK YOU!! Saved us a bunch of time/money and probably arguments with this fix that worked perfectly!!!!

I ACTUALLY can’t believe that worked. Holy shit hahahaha you are an absolute legend
Rachel: 1

This was a lifesaver! My units are stacked. Since I couldn’t get to the back to unplug, I turned off the breaker, pushed the buttons and then turned the breaker back on. The sound of the power on was music to my ears! Thank you so much!!
Holy crap. I've been hitting my washing machine like the Fonz every time I've used it for about a year now. It was getting to the point where it wouldn't work anymore, no matter how hard I punched it. Thank you from the bottom of my bruised and battered hand!
Awesome, saved my marriage!
Holy Guacamolé It worked like a charm. What charity can we contribute to in your named?
Pay it forward!
Will do!
BTW Mad, I had to add one step which was to reset my breaker before replugging in my W/D Combo.
+Tom Moench good for people to know. It could be a power surge problem.
w00t! How about NOW, NARL, Planned Parenthood, or any charity listed here: predatorinchief.us
My wife was so pissed this morning because our washer wasn't working, made a quick search and found your video, thank you so much everything works now thanks to you! You saved us lots of $$$
You are Amazing! 6 years later and you are making a difference in people’s lives! 🎉❤
THANK YOU...worked perfect! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thx you so much you saved my family 800 big ones, and Thx for the laugh.....darn repair people are Crooks
sir hudgens isn't that the truth?
We’ve had this same washer and matching dryer for 9years with little, to no issues. Today power stopped working to washer. Checked breaker, no luck. Used another plug, no luck. Husband spazed out thinking we were going to have to buy new one. I searched on here for solution and lo and behold, your video. Tried it and took all of 15 seconds and boom, like new. Thanks sooo much for sharing!
Same model (only white). Same exact problem. Your suggested solution totally worked and saved me 100’s, if not a 1000, dollars. Thank you!
Someone please chime in here : This process of pressing the power and start/pause button, is this discharging the capicators? I imagine it's a sign of the a fault within the main PCB, as plugging it in after this causes an arc
Jason Ricci I would love to know as well, mine arched after this when plugging in as well
Would like to know the real fix, not something temp that might make a worse break down the road..
@@tacos6996 it's absolutely the mother board that has to be replaced which is about $116 refurbished and $250 new. I was doing the same thing with my washer, except I had to go outside to our fuse box in order to power it off because I couldn't reach the plug. Works great for one load and then you have to do the process all over again. Which I did several times because I love my washer, but unfortunately it's only a temporary fix. It is about a $450 repair unless you do it yourself. New washer is about to arrive any moment and I'm so sad because mine looks like new and works great when it has power. Mine is going on 9 years. I remember when washers used to last 30 years
@@jojowolak5509 its been working fine since, 3 months ago
Main board.
Yes, LG's are very reliable except it seems they've really cheaped out on their PCB board (which is ironic because they are an electronics company that just happens to make appliances as well😂) I believe the new models have much improved electronics (the ones that have the new PCB board are ones that have the slimmer LG letters rather than their old bold font)
The Technician was correct you will end up replacing the pcb to actually fix the problem. Yes you can reboot that way but you will more than likely get sock of dking that every time you want to do laundry. I see this with LG probably 3 to 4 times a month on calls. If you look at the pcb you will more than likely see some capacitors blown.
Can't the capacitors just be replaced?
No, these are attached to the main PCB. It has to be replaced to replace the capacitors.
@Dok Lk7 A blown capacitor is capable of holding somewhat of a charge..
So this is exactly what's happening with mine. The reset tricks works, but we have to do it every time we need to use the washer now.
would this be an electronic control board?
AMAZING: A determined owner & You Tube post provides the answer/solution to a common problem which a repair shop or manufacturer cannot! THANK YOU ma’am!
dude2meetu “can not” or “will not” 🤔
Mad Catter, Thank you so much for your video, you are awesome. I wasn't able to unplug my washer because of the plug location. However, I turned the breaker off, followed your instrustions. My washer is working again!!! Have a wonderful day.
57 Washer salesmen thumbsdowned this vid
haha, as I thumbs uped the vid, I said to my wife, Huh, you can see how many LG repairmen have watched this video...
Lol
Guess what people who thumbs downed the video - It works. A simple 10 second reset fixes the problem. That's confirmed because our machine did exactly the same thing. Thank to the video, we fixed it 10 seconds.
This is a temporary fix that may last a while but eventually you will need to replace the main control board.
Joseph Galligher yeah, in like 4 years when the machine is 6 or 7 years old and served its purpose.
I have this set and my dryer wouldn't turn on. Almost in tears, I started searching for appliance repair in my area. Started watching RUclips videos and found this one. All I did was unplug it and plug it back in and it came right on!!!! Thank you!!! 😘😘😘🥰
My LG washer had no power just like yours. I tried your trick and voila! It worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are retired and can not afford a new machine at this time so you are my hero. God Bless you!
If that doesnt work which i went through on my LG it turns out it was the circuit board about 200 bucks
Hi. Did yours work after you replaced the circuit board?. I tried this reboot trick and didn't work either. Thanks
Did you replace the main circuit board or the display control board?
What in the mother loving? I did this and it worked! Was about to call a repairman. I don’t know how or why this worked but it did!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share. You are my hero and saved me lord of money!!!! Bless you my dear.
I was about to book an LG technician to come to fix my machine at $207/ per hour. Just before I hit enter for them to charge my credit card I checked with my wife first. She said, "Forget that! It's too expensive." So she goes to RUclips, finds your video, and fixes the problem. You saved us money! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for this video 7 years ago. My washer stopped tonight and your video has gotten it back up and running.
Omg, you're amazing! I almost called a repairman and my husband suggested youtube. It took me less time to reset the electronics than it did to watch your video!
Well, bless your heart! At first I was frustrated because I was frustrated about my washing machine not working. I was also frustrated about listening to all of the backstory. But then I understood that you were frustrated as you wrote it or created the video I should say. my washing machine is stacked with a dryer on top of it in a closet built specifically for a washer and dryer. It’s wonderful and convenient. However, it is not convenient to get at the back. I ended up just turning off the breaker and doing your reset sequence. I went back down to the basement and turn the breaker back on. From the basement, I could hear the sound of the washing machine… The little chimes sound it makes. I am really grateful that you took the time to put this on RUclips. I’m also very grateful that your video was returned close to the top of my search results.
So I watched your video 3-4 years ago when my washer acted up. Today it did the same thing. I searched and finally found your video again and it’s working again!! I’d guess my LG washer/dryer are 9 years old. Thank you for your public service!
I am back, 2 years later, needed to do this again. Thanks Bestie!!
I just watched your video and I want to say THANK YOU! My machine is up and running!
You saved me and a lot of people money. And will continue to do so for people with the same problem. Thank you very much for this post!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU! Did this to my 10 YO Graphite model like yours and it came back to life. I was dreading buying a new one. Not today. Not today LG. Thank you so much for saving us Mad Catter!
My wife doesn't believe in you tube help. She does now. And I am king once again. Thanks
Thank you! You saved my Christmas this morning with this demo. 380K plus views you have probably saved us millions no joke.
