Top 20 LG WM2487H Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

Find the drain pump and check the sloppiness of the impeller, if it has sloppiness in the shaft it throws a code and some times it will work just enough to not throw a code but not pull the water enough at spin cycle...
They run around $150 online, fairly easy to replace.
The slowing of the machine may be a limp mode, so that you don't tear up the rest of the machine...good luck!

Why don't you simply find out what the FE code is alluding to? Go to web site or do a google search and then you can check for the issue further.

Greetings, There is a problem with the computer. The computer will need replacement. I have seen this many times.Sorry. Mike

The problem would appear to be the water inlet solenoid valve. The valve is not operating correctly for some reason allowing water into the machine even when switched off

Those washers are heavy! They have weights in them to prevent moving when spinning. Some use bolts through the bottom of the pedestal up through the washer and others use bolts down through the washer into the pedestal. Remove the bolts and lift the washer off the pedestal. You might need to get levelling bolts for the washer or check to see if the bolts are on the bottom of the pedestal. Make sure you get help to move the machine.

Lift up the top of your washer and there will be a code and test sheet in there that will help lead you to fixing that problem, almost sounds like it went into the its own test mode.

Unscrew the bolt about halfway, then clean the exposed thread with a cloth to remove any oil or dirt. Apply Loctite thread locking compound to the exposed threads and then tighten the bolt securely. Allow for the locking compound to dry overnight before using the machine again.

For the washer to spin, it must first drain the water out of the tub. Since you are hearing a rattling noise, and your washer will not drain, most likely the problem is the drain motor itself. The impeller wears out on the shaft, and start to wobble, and make a vibrating/rattling noise.

If the washer won't drain water the drain pump might be defective. It's also common for a small sock or other article of clothing to get caught in the drain pump preventing the impeller from turning, or in the drain hose. Check both for an obstruction before replacing the pump.

If the washer won't agitate the stator assembly at the back of the washer tub might be bad or damaged. The rotor is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the rotor fails or is damaged the washer might not spin or agitate. Check the rotor for damaged magnets or other defects.

K this is a very complex job because it sounds like you may have coins (money) that has fallen between the gap. If this is the case, then the only way is to open up the back panel and look for it. However, I would not recommend doing it as the warranty will be void if you do. Now the stupid thing about this is a service tech will charge if it is coins lol. If it\'s the machine itself then it will be free provided it is still under warranty. Good luck!

Hello. The noise you are hearing on spin is a failed basket support bearing. Depending on the model, you are looking at a cost of a professional to repair it of around $400+. If you do it yourself, around $200. This is a common failure on LG washers.

HI THERE, Unplug machine for 5 minutes for a reset and try a spin /drain cycle. It is too simple but why not try. Now that your hopes of an easy fix are shot unplug machine and let the fun begin. The screen is located behind a door at the bottom of the left front of washer. Open door. Remove door. Grab a good size shallow pan and a large rag. Pull plug to drain machine. Once water is out remove screen - it is part of the round knob in that area. Some water will come with it. Clean screen. I use acid to remove build up on the screen from well water. Inspect entire area. A small dental mirror can be helpful. Junk can get caught up in impeller to pump. I had a shaft break on mine and had to replace pump about two months ago - $40,00. Remember something is stopping the water. If filter / screen was really full and you found something plugging the drain - Replace filter / screen and hose plug. Plug in to wall and try a rinse and spin. Hint if water will not drain from hose. pull machine away from wall lean it back against wall. This will hopefully allow you to open screen filter to remove it. I had a plugged hose once. it was a pain to do. I could not tilt my machine because of space. I used a shop vac to drain filter by slowly opening the filter / screen. I was able to then with a wire remove clog from hose. If things are really bad you can tilt machine and reach up under machine and pull small drain hose. IF YOU TO REMOVE PUMP - YOU TUBE. TRY TO REMOVE IT FROM UNDERNEATH. IF YOU CANT, THE HARDEST PART IS THE TUBE GASKET SPRING. VISE GRIP NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS AND ANOTHER REGULAR NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS WORK WELL. I SECOND SET OF HANDS WITH A UNDERSTANDING MIND ARE MUCH NEEDED. IT IS JUST MACHINE - IT HAS NO SOUL- OR FEELINGS. YOU CAN SCREAM AT IT ALL DAY. EMMY THE HARDEST PART IS THE SPRING ON

That is not normal. Have the control circuit board tested for continuity. Either the cycle or timer section is out of wack and may need replacing.

Morgan, 1. unplug machine and let it reset. I spoke with a parts supplier who set it could take up to 3 hrs. 2. this was our fix - check door latch. it needs to send a closed signal to operate. un plug machine - remove top - i would try to lightly spray switch with WD-40 - plug in and try it. if it does't work -unplug it again -replace switch . If WD-40 works I would pick up a switch it is only a matter of time for that switch. I hope that does it. Emmy

too much soap check settings.

problem with the D D motor. kindly check hole sensor..

Inlet water not coming in check tap valve at inlet valve there is one strainer clean otherwise inlet valve gone.

Two schools of thought here. 1st. the belt has slipped off the retention pulley. 2nd the belt has broken. Pull out the machine, unplug then remove back lower panel look under the drum to see the belt and pulley.
