LG WD-3274RHD Front Load Washer / Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

the unit is made to bring water in in the drying cycle ,,the water dont touch the clothes..the water is to take the lint away and to cool the drum,,you must remember that you can was 22 pounds but you can only dry 11 pound..so you must dry about half of what you wash..and drying the 11 pounds it will take 3 to 4 hours,,no exhaust...

dE for LG does the spring of latch hook actuate? no> fix door latch Yes> is there clicking sound once or twice when the start/pause button is pressed to start the cycle? No> check door switch and main PWB Assemblyhope that helps..OE is Drain Error.

On my machine, CD is the Cool Down stage after it's finished drying. The machine just sits there with CD on the display until you press the play/pause button. Then CD goes away and you have to wait two F****** minutes until the door unlocks.

Hi!

The machine knows it dint't finish the washing cycle, and, because it may be possible that water is still a lot inside, the door is locked.
If you are shure the door can be opened without the water coming out by the door, simply disconnect it from the electrical supply and wait a few minutes until the door unlocks. (you will hear the unlock click)

Good luck!

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

LG's 'OE' definitely stands for a drainage problem- 'Outlet Error'.

You have 'cleaned out the filter area' but at the same time did you check the operation of the drain motor/pump?
Following are my complete and generic 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.

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

I have same problem with my washer/dryer combo.It took me quite some time to figure out what is going on.Did all electrical checks ,everything was fine and worst thing it was intermittent thing ,it would do it 8 out of 10 times. Found cold water inlet valve assembly to be faulty (mechanical problem with middle valve) . Second time in 6 years ,other than that I'm very happy with that combo.Problem now is to get new valve, because it is not available anymore from LG, so I'm digging through internet to see if anybody has it somewhere. Good luck

Are all taps turned on, is the filters in the hose connections clean? The code means it is not getting water, if water supply is ok one of the valves may be faulty.

Hello. Go to Sears Direct, enter your model number and look at the parts diagram for your machine. Find the bolts you need and order them. Joe

I think I know what you mean - the machine itself does not have a lint filter and over time I've noted that it can build up around the large rubber door gasket. You will simply need to be more fastidious about cleaning it out after each cycle. I've had success using an old toothbrush dunked in some water to get the stuff out. The washer's filter (located in the lower left corner of the machine) only traps large solid debris. Hope that helps!

The service manual for that machine states that your THERMISTOR is out of order. The Thermistor is part of the drying part of the machine. I've uploaded the service manual for you to take a look at - should be up in 24 hours they tell me, but you can always search for it online elsewhere (that's how I got it.) You should be able to order the replacement part from searspartsdirect.com.

The water pump drain motor has something stuck in it or it has gone bad like most LG parts.
Remove the drain pump and look for any foreign object to be removed.
Check the drain pump for a failed pump motor.
LG is pretty.

Hi,
The inlet valve is defective kindly replace the inlet valve

I am not a repair professional. I am a 78 year old man who has been making his own repairs for about 50 years. So the washer or dryer ID doesn't mean much to me. I came to fixya looking for a schematic for an really old AM/FM radio and found that more than 4,700 people were asking for help with a washer repair. I recently had a washer repair of my own and at that time I found an excellent video which showed me how to take my machine apart. This video made it possible for me to do my own repair. If you are repairing a dryer or a front load washer I suggest you
go to www.applianceaid.com where they have very good step by step trouble shooting and repair information on both washers and dryers as well as other appliances. If you have a direct drive top load washer and need help taking it apart this video is an early christmas present. I was so impressed with it that when I saw all these people needing help, I wanted to tell them about it. If you look at the back of your washer and the panel is solid (no small inspection plate to remove which would indicate you have a v-belt drive) chances are you have a direct drive and this video is just what you need. You can see it at www.acmehowto.com You will probably still need help in determining what the trouble is and how to fix it. After viewing the video or if you have a v-belt drive rather than a direct drive, I suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where they have very good
trouble shooting and repair nformation on most
washers and dryers. I think you'll find what you need
there. Don't worry about the timer, they hardly ever
go bad. Good luck with it. If I have helped you, please rate my advice on fixya.

its very likley you have a snaped shocker spring or its just fell off,, they do that often you know!
however there is a big hunk of stone flying about inside the washer so get it sorted out fast before it ripes it to bits inside if it starts to go walk about in your kitchen it could flood your floor, pop the top or back off and have a look for the suport springs to see if there broken

If an owner's manual is all you need, you can go to managemyhome.com and type in your model number under the "Manuals" link. Your owner's manual is available in a .pdf (Adobe) format that you can print or download for FREE.

If you need a troubleshooting guide, they usually come with the appliance and are placed inside the washer cabinet for maintenance technician use. It will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls or will be located behind the lower panel under the door.

If you have questions, or require additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this is helpful to you.

your tub fill tube hose that goes from the bottom of the wash tub to the load size control on the control panel may have a hole in it, its plastic

This is best left for a proffessional to repair

Check to make sure that your outlet is good.  You may need to run an extension cord to another outlet to make sure.  If the unit still doesn't turn on, you may have a problem with the control board and will need it to be serviced by a qualified LG technician.

According to the handbook: drain hose is kinked or clogged; the drain filter is clogged.
Solution: clean and straighten the drain hose; clean the drain filter.
I have tried both but have not yet solved the problem.
