LG WT5101H Top Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The washer control panel is defective.

Check out this website as it may help you. The Fault has something to do the drive system of the washer. Different model however should be the same. LG WT4870CW error code E6 The Laundry Appliance Repair Forum

It sounds like the User control and display board inside the machine is faulty.

Power cut may have blown fuse . If not check mains filter. If that's ok then mother board may be damaged

Sound like your seals need cleaning and give the machine a wash out with a good cleaner.

sounds like it has bounced out of balance, it may have lost level, the springs in side might have lost some of there spring, or the clutch may be getting bad. the belt might be loose as well and starts slipping when going faster.

THIS PROBLEM ARE YOU OCCURRING DAILY? IF IST DAILY ,,THE PROBLEM WITH INLETVALVE,,END OF THE CYCLE FROM THAT WATER LEAKING CONTINUOUSLY,,

you need to call service center for your problem, the unit have problem in pcb board or some switch inside the machine already press by its self.

I just fixed our WT5101H. It was not draining. The drain pipe, when held down to the ground, would flush out the water just fine, but when it was in the wall drain it did not register. Here's what I did:Took off the back panel. Located the drain pump and removed it from the base it sits on. I noticed right away than one of the connected wires was completely off. Maybe from the motion of the washer it had removed itself. We electrical taped the wiring to remain snug and presto... we have drainage working again. I took apart the drain pump to clean it out, and now we do have some leaking since I could not get the unit back together as complete and as sealed... might have to get some caulking or something to keep the little drips away.Sandi

pcb is not working

Check the amount of clothes inside and/or try adding the items one at a time.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.

Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

Thanks and good luck!

Hi

As it is less then a year old so it is always better to use warranty and get the repair done under warranty. However, I believe everything is alright with the unit, still if you want to get it replaced contact LG and get it done under warranty. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
There is likely to be a problem with either the lid solenoid/lock or the 'lid closed' sensor. Both require a service engineer's attention I suggest ;-0(

Yes it is safe to put this on the upstaires laundry room. I do recomend that you put a washer over flow pan down first. Link below.

Please ask me if you have anymore questions

Hi, if your washer doesn't pump water out or spin, check to see if the motor is running, then proceed as follows:

If the motor is running, your washer probably has a frozen pump pulley or a broken pump belt. To check the pulley, remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely--if it's frozen or stiff--replace it. If the pump belt is broken or looks quite worn, replace it--but be sure to check the pump pulley before you change the belt.

If the motor isn't running, the lid switch may be defective. If so, the washing machine can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.

But If your washer spins but doesn't pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In many washers, a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump--or even into the pump itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out.
If the drain line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump. Even if the pump appears to be turning, the internal impeller may be broken. If so, you need to replace the pump.
