20 Most Recent LG WM-12230FB Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

not sure if this link will help you out but have a look.. how to replace the bearings on an LG WM12230FB washing machine Google...

try cleaning the lint trap.

CL usually stands for child lock , look for a button indicating LOCK or child safety maybe a childs face etc. once you locate this button push for 3-6 seconds to unlock.

Try ebay - great for bits like that at much lower rates than through technical support!

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Just check the balance by following my (pre-typed, complete) guidance notes and if no joy then one of the dampers IS faulty and you will have to have it replaced.

It is necessary to ensure absolutely that the machine has all 4 feet very firmly on the floor, and I mean firmly ;-0)
Doesn't matter whether it is empty or not but switch it off then-
very firmly push one front corner diagonally into the centre of the machine and see if the machine moves or rocks AT ALL, even the slightest. If it does you will need the open-ended spanner which came with the (new) machine........which of course went missing a long time ago?!! An adjustable spanner will suffice.
Adjust the foot under that corner downwards until it is very firmly- almost pushing- against the floor but not so far that the corner lifts up!
If this corner did not rock do the same to the other.
Once you cannot rock the machine the slightest little bit, screw the locking nuts up tight to the underside of the machine so that they will not move. Ideally the rear feet should also be locked.

(If this has not cured the problem it is possible that the internal suspension is malfunctioning.)

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hello

LG washing machine error code SE indicates a "motor fault.

You can try resetting it by unpluging the unit for 3 min and see if it clears.

If not, it s going to need service.

Hi just read your posting.Does your machine trip the power as soon as it is turned on or after it has been on for a time?Usually on the front loaders it is the heating element that trips the safety switch.Have you tried setting the wash temp to a cold wash?Please reply with additional information and I will help you as much as I can.Looking forward to your reply.

unplug for 24hr

Clean out the detergent dispenser and the drain trap first

Then

Put a strong solution of washing soda into the machine before you set it away without a load and on a hot wash (Do not put detergent in)

Let the machine do a full cycle and then leave the door open to let it dry out

You may have to do this twice to get rid of the odour

Also try using old fashioned soap powders which contain bleach and soda.

There is a bacteria build up in your machine due to low temperature washing

UE means unbalanced load. This happens when the load is too small, or the appliance is tilted, laundry is gathered to one side, non distributed things are put into the drum.
