LG WASHER INTERMITTENT START BUTTON NOT WORKING [SOLVED] 

Tried all of the suggested solutions on youtube, and almost gave up. The last one worked, I turned off the washer, then used a hairdryer to lightly heat the start button for about two minutes and it worked. It was either the severe cold weather we are having causing condensation/moisture to affect the button. After heating with the hairdryer for a few minutes, I turned the washer on, then selected a cycle, then pushed the start button and it worked.

This video is a lifesaver. Worked on my lg washing machine. Thank you so much

Bless you Sir! Its been an ongoing problem and that solved it immediately! (there was an actual shredded sock in that filter.)

What after trying this step stil yet the start button stil fail ....what's the solution

It is really great 👍 I have done it myself now it started working thanku for the solutions I had no money to give for service it is very helpful this video thank u 🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏 once again

Very useful tips. It’s working! Thank you so much for your video!

Thank you so much for this video. It’s a total life saver. It worked like magic on my washing machine

Vengo a escribirte porque dudaba que el filtro tuviese que ver con el funcionamiento del botón de inicio. Este me da muchos problemas y pensaba que era por el calor que no hace bien la conexión y ya estaba dispuesta a abrir el panel. El caso es que ha funcionado!!! Gracias por compartirlo 🙏😊

I just watched your video and it worked completely. It’s exactly what the issue was. Thank you so much for posting this.

Very good information because I am a technician in Jeddah

Been dealing with a finicky button for years. This worked for my LG washer. The filter typically will have a debris like a lead in there. Once I clean it works good again!

Wow, washing machine working Thanks 👍👍👍😊😊😊😊

Thank you so much for sharing this vedio. It helps a lot.. I follow the instruction. Job well done 😊👍

Thank you so much it worked

Thank you so much. It has worked for me

I cannot thank you enough! It's working! Oh, my word🙀!!! Thank you!!!!

Excellent i cleaned up the filter then i tried to empty the machine then i use hair dryer to heat up the start up botton because sometimes there is a moist inside the buttons. Then it really work for me❤

I followed your instruction and solved the same problem. Thanks !

Thank you so much

After unplugging, I spray electrical cleaner in the crack of the button, and press it about 10 times to clean it, plug it back in, and it works for a few months before needing another spray.

Thanks from casablanca

Worked!

thanks！

Wow I just did that and there was a plastic inside there, am able to use my washing machine now.thank you

It works. But I also had to use the hairdryer on the button to melt the condense…

My two cents: We leveled ours and it is working at the lightest touch like new. Installation was done incorrectly. Before you call someone do the ThinQ as we did. It helps to diagnose problems. You for sure know it’s not the expensive parts, which the people who looked at it wanted to replace.

Should the knob to switch between the cycles be hard to turn? Or should it be switching as you turn it

This worked for me. Thank you! I was about to order a replacement door switch, but it turned out to be just a clogged filter.

Did not work for me. Thanks for sharing though. I took off the front panel and I believe their is an open on the board. I will tackle that another day.

So if I did all of that and the problem continued clean the filter ect what should be my next step

Hmmm I have been dealing with this for years. I push on the button at different angles pressure and eventually it works. I have known about that filter since day one and always clean at least twice a year but it has never helped with the button. I always figured it was just bad contacts under the switch. I will try to open and close the door and put pressure on the door to see if maybe it’s that. That is more plausible. The filter has no sensors so it can’t tell if it’s clogged. Not to mention that is more of a basket than filter and really can’t get clogged with the large openings. Not discounting that just think that part of the solution is less likely.

Very use

Hi, my button is loose. How do I get the machine apart to see what is going on?

Good morning my washer door lock comes on but washer doesn’t start it won’t take in water or spin if i put it to spin how do i spin

been having this symptom for a couple of years now. Usually I can wiggle the button side to side very quickly and can get it to start. Recently I was beginning to think it would not start so got on RU-vid just to see what was involved with changing the switch or getting to it to spray some contact cleaner. My drain hose did not release any water. Tried to blow back into it with no results. Cleaned the filter (never cleaned before) but my problem still exists. Fiddled with the door latch and still no luck. I bought this machine used for a 100 bucks 7 or 8 years ago. Think I will keep my eyes out for another machine.

Pls I'm using LG 5 KG when the start button press the intensive light comes up ant the washing machine will not work even no button will work as far the intensive light comes up , pls what will be the problem thanks.

Washing machine now working, thanks 👍

I have the same exact washer and this error too. The button is sticky sometimes, I think that's what is happening.

Its the button (Start/Pause) having bad contact due to moister and spillage.

The problem is due to moisture.

I did that but not working

I did that and it still won't start😢

Mine worked but the problem kept on coming up

I just did mine now it still didn't work

Still not working

My is still not working

Pretty crazy because I tried alot of other stuff but this worked.

Didn't work 😔

Play button is not working

No Sense to accept this way of fixing this problem. Its not the reason of play button not to work

Unplug it and plug it in

Probably something going on with your child lock
