@butlers475a 2 года назад

Not like some videos, don’t know what they talk about after 10 minutes or more, this one is clear and to the point. Watched for less than a minute, problem solved! Thank you so much!

Lol that drives my husband nuts 😂. He’s a “let’s get right to the point” kinda guy too lol Now I just need to learn to get to the point when trying to tell him something, instead of going through every lil detail 😂😂

LG washer didn't start this morning, and I went straight to RU-vid.... Your quick fix worked... Many thanks

@kjbaker78 3 года назад

I'm glad you found a solution, but 4 years later and LG washers STILL have this exact same problem. They haven't replaced the faulty board. $200 isn't an insignificant repair cost. They are willfully ignoring this problem with a simple fix.

@joyfulnoise593 5 лет назад

I'm thrilled I found your video instead of calling a repair person! I went to use my washer today and had the same problem. This solution fixed it immediately. Thank you for sharing your information.

@haze1123 4 года назад

After researching, I found a permanent fix without changing the $200 motherboard. I had the exact same problem shown here. Here's what worked for me: Unplug the machine, then press the power button for 5 seconds, and then press the start button for 5 seconds (this dumps any additional electricity from the capacitor). Then, I left machine unplugged all night. The next morning, I plugged it in with a surge protector in the outlet. Everything works perfectly now. I'm not sure why the surge protector made a difference but it did. A power strip should work equally well, if it has surge protection built in.

@haze1123 4 года назад

@Su Ya Rouhola It prevents surges of electricity from reaching your electronics at their peak. It helps to keep plugged devices safe. You can buy them everywhere from Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Here is an example: www.amazon.com/Single-Protector-Grounded-Adapter-Indicator/dp/B07NVGQNW5/

@anthonylambiase4229 5 лет назад

I pulled the plug and waited. Used a power strip and it went right on! It works that's what counts. Thanks for posting.

@sjpadilla19 2 года назад

Excellent! This is the exact same problem I had with my LG washer. I ordered a replacement board, installed it and it worked just as in the video. Thank you for your help!

@TheSeaBadger 2 года назад

Let's start by saying that I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, but I had this problem with my LG washer and I have another possible solution. I found this video and I found other articles on the interweb stating that if you unplug the washer for 24 hours and then plug it in, it'll work again. Of course, I did the unplug thing first, since it was way easier. For me it worked. After several hours (I was too impatient to wait 24 hours) I plugged it back in and it started up. This got me to think that if the board had cr@pped out, it can't fix itself, so it must be something else, like a static charge or something that is causing the board to not work. Waiting the time for the board to discharge may be the solution. I am also aware that the electricity that comes into homes is not always that 'clean' it often has fluctuations in voltage. Could it simply be that my electrical service is the problem? To test this out I simply put a surge protector on my outlet and plugged the washer into the surge protector. I haven't had the problem since and it's been months AND I live on an island where we import our electricity from the mainland and there is a great possibility that fluctuations in voltage are everyday occurrences. Bottom line: unplug your washer for a day, put a surge protector on your outlet and see if this fixes the problem. It is easier and cheaper. If it doesn't work, then follow the video.

@jamescastelli Год назад

@@TheSeaBadger I'll try the 24 hour thing (or in my case, 48 hours, since I'll be gone for the weekend). The method in the video already didn't work, so I'm not too optimistic.

@billheaton4514 4 года назад

For what it's worth, to save the hassle of reaching over the washer to unplug it every time it went out, I plugged it into a switched surge suppressor that could sit on top of the washer and be easily reached. It has been at least 3 months now and we have not needed to use the switch. The machine turns on every time as it should without fail. May need the board down the road but for now the surge suppressor is working great. Thanks for the reset tip.

@khloelove6076 2 года назад

The delivery guy that delivered my washer in November 2020 told me its best to buy a surge protector now I understand what he's on about

@dr_tom_dvm5618 7 лет назад

Thanks for this video! We were shopping for a new washer when I found your video. Ordered the part and spent 20 minutes changing it out. Worked great, fixed the problem, and was about $500 cheaper than a new machine.

@turnersaddleryinc.3079 Год назад

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.

@PhxDesertGal 11 месяцев назад

Thanks, I did the the steps you recommended to get it started. I thought I was going to have to go to a laundry to do this load which I so needed. As for the permanent fix I am not sure it can be done even by a repairman. I have the matching dryer installed on the top of the washer so it is not accessible. The washer is 13 years old and never have had any problems previously. The laundry room is very tiny and it would be very hard for anyone to do anything in there. I will just have to do the unplug, etc and just wait until the dryer also dies and then replace both. Right now it is working and I will see how it goes for the next load. THANKS!!!

@carolstutzman1927 4 года назад

@SamKimpton 6 лет назад

My LG washer has been having this issue for about a week. After finding this video, I started researching prices for the main board, but then this weekend, it suddenly started working again. I haven't had to unplug it for several washes. Not sure what's going on, but I'm happy I don't have to buy a new main board (for now).

@tonyaross7906 5 лет назад

Sam Kimpton This same thing happened to us and it worked perfect for a good 6 months or so & now it is back to only working when we unplug it each time. I really don’t want to pay $200 for the replacement board. I think I will try the power strip idea someone else suggested.

@Tina-un3hd 10 месяцев назад

Thx so much for this. Mine wouldn’t power on, checked the breaker, wasn’t that, came here, found your video, followed your instructions, washer powered back on! Now I can tell my husband, I did a lil research and think I 😂 know what the problem is, so let’s order that part LOL Thx again 😊

@mtsflorida 2 года назад

I appreciate the tutorial. I've fixed or built circuit boards in electronics. I don't thinks it's my problem but was thinking a main fuse maybe. I put to heavy a load trying to do a wash plus some. Should never have overloaded it with pants in the top. The barrel wouldn't turn as it should and I tried taking out some and it still labored throwing an "LE" code 3-4 times until it shut off and locked in a few work tee shirts with a few gallons of water. I'll try what you did. Using my breaker box twice didn't work. I learned if you don't do laundry every month with a 10 year old washer certainly don't overload it.

My washer had no power indicators, no display lights. Tried the recommended hold the buttons for 5 seconds. Then removed the display to visually check the micro button switch for normal action, checked good. Check for power to the main control board (MCB) and power was going to the MCB, but no LED red light, the red LED would not illuminate. Order the MCB online and installed via video instructions. Plug the washer in to check for the LED red light on the MCB when I pushed the ON button.Checked good. Removed power, reinstalled the cover and panel and screws. Works well.

@yolandcote3903 4 года назад

Thanks for your Video, I can see I am not the only one. It does not have a full washing cycle in it's lifetime yet, just installed this noon and there it goes. In my case, it just not come back to life with the button sequence and keep sparking when plugging it in.

@funkbro2 9 месяцев назад

Great video, thank you. Now I’m curious what actually dies on the board. Seems like it must be a capacitor that went bad, can’t imagine why it would need a whole board. Considering it’s unlikely a fuse it would require board level repair , if someone wanted to save $200 Happening to my sister in laws washer, after every load (not even sure if it clears the cycle)

@drdlst 4 года назад

Watched videos and read comments for 2 hours the other night to find out why my Kenmore 79640311900 washer wouldn't power up; it’s built by LG. (We had a major storm on Easter and lost power for 2 days.) Found several videos saying to unplug it and hold buttons down, which basically allows it to time out so it works when you plug it back in (and it sparks) ; it works initially, but you must do this each time you use it (it does the same thing if you leave it unplugged for 10 to 30 seconds or turning the circuit breaker off). Several people found that plugging the washer into a power strip worked, instead of plugging directly to the outlet. Also saw where some videos say you must replace a $250 control board or some even a $50 noise filter. Found 2 mentions (in 2 hours) of unplugging machine for 30 minutes to allow capacitors to lose their charge before plugging it back in. Thought this was a bunch of dookie, but now it works like a charm! So far so good!

@colleenvanderwoude9828 11 месяцев назад

I replaced my circuit board and it fixed the problem for a week and now problem is back

@FBarowsky 7 лет назад

I have to post this for 2 reasons. 1) LG seems to have a lot of problem across ALL their front load washer line with this. $200+ dollars for a faulty engineered circuit board!?!? $.05 worth of parts!?!? Life is Good(LG) WOW, maybe for their executives, but not for the public consumer. This is the second LG washer I ahve had, and it will be my last. 2) To fix the problem for $5 or less, purchase a power strip from your local discount store. Plug you LG into the power strip, and the power strip to the wall outlet. When your washer doesn't trun on, turn the power switch off on the power strip count to 10, by one thousand one, one thousand 2, etc.. to 1 thousand 10, then turn the power strip back on. The chime with come on and this can now be your start button. When you get frustrated with this cycle of event, then trash you LG washer and purchase a Samsung, Maytag, or some other more reputable company, that isn't ONLY focused on the almighty dollar. Heck with LG!!

@tyhenderson7290 6 лет назад

This is the ticket. Funny thing is I have a service company that fixes everything like this, they came out 3 different times and replaced the FRONT button circuit board. It never made any difference because they were replacing the wrong thing. Till I showed them this video : ). They replaced the back board like you did and it's worked fine ever since, it's been over a year now. That project took 6 months of unplugging, replugging etc. Also in the 5 years had this machine had to replace the the main tub and bearing. It's cost my service company over 2K just to keep it running. LG? Never again. For those that are old enough, you remember Goldstar? Goldstar was a bottom feeder electronics company that supplied Kmart in the 70's, 80's, etc. Real pieces of shit, but dirt cheap. News you can use, LG is Goldstar. Changed name is all. As I said, never again, not for anything. Thanks for the video!

@tomf10 2 года назад

Replaced the circuit board once and worked for another year or so. I do noticed the circuit board can get fairly hot (over 50C at the heat sink), and heat tends to cause the washer failing to restart the next time. So I added a fan with a temp sensor which cools the circuit board when it's above 30C, that extended the life of the original board for another year or so. This trick doesn't work as well on my second board, which seems to be a refurbished board. LG appears to have very high rating these days, and I'm consider to get another washer to rid this hassle altogether. Not sure if I'd get into the same issue if I choose LG again.

My LG lt7300 does similar, the real fix was a connector bridge between the power button assembly and the main board getting compressed. this connector is right in the area you press the button. So no duh its going to get compressed. a repair person would have charged 600$ and replaced the main board. fixed with 45 minutes of troubleshooting and a couple of touches with a soldering iron. LG has lost all my respect. basic design flaws. This was "Fixed" previously under warranty for exactly the same symptoms with a main board and front plate swap. I would never expect a non-technician to resolve this simple problem. Boards should last decades not years or less.
