LG WM1814CW Front Load Washer - Page 2 Questions & Answers
Washing machine vibration
I had same problem. It was actually wearing out the rubber gasket on front door. It ended up being the spider on back of drum. They corrode pretty good with the front loaders.

Check that the pressure switch tube is connected to pressure switch. Check that the water inlet valve is not stuck open. To check start washer, turn washer off, if water continues to flow the valve is stuck open, replace.
SE in led code and not spinning- what's wron?
Using a multi meter check for continuity the door switch, which when bad may not allow agitation or spin. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically.
Check the clutch, brake assembly and transmission, one way to check for slipping is to get under the machine after a spin cycle ( this is if u get a lil spin but not much leaving clothes still wet) mix in a spray bottle a lil water and some dish detergent, then spray it on the clutch assembly ( the metal round pc. Connected to the tranny) if it sizzles and steams up then u know its bad and slipping. Another way to check clutch if u get no spin at all? Is to take it out and use ur hand to try and turn the inner spring assembly pushing it around the inside? If its very easy, it BAD should be hard to push by hand.
Next check the motor coupler which engages the tub and tranny to the motor. ( if its bad u usually get no wash or spin or very little of either)
Next check for a loose, worn or broken belt if belt driven.
On some front load models u may need to check the STATOR assembly.
Water won't turn off
Sounds like the pressure switch is not working.two reasons for this the tube that operates the switch to turn off the water sits outside the drum and is normally full of air.as the drum begins to fill it increases the air pressure in the tube to the point where it trips the switch to turn off the water input.if the tube fills with water it will not operate the turn off part of the operation.you either check the tube for water by open inning the top and disconnecting the rubber hose from the drum and empty out any water.this should make it operational again.if not then it is probably the switch itself.easily replaced by parts obtain through eBay for your model machine.not difficult to do, tutorials on YouTube are available on this topic.
8 YEAR OLD LG FRONT LOAD WASHER WONT SPIN OR DRAIN
If the washer won't spin the stator or rotor assemblies 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
Can you adjust the water level on the LG Tromm WM1814CW?
No. Water level is not user adjustable. The washer will automatically put in the correct amount (about 3 inches in the bottom of the tub) and adjust for load size and type. This level is all that is needed. The reason the clothes are hardly wet at the end of the cycle is due to the high spin speed (compared to almost all top loading machines). If you want to see how wet the clothes really are, pause the machine mid cycle and the door will unlock and you can see, or select a "no spin" option and see at the end of that cycle. You will use about 12 gallons of water for a large load, vs. about 45 for a top loading machine, so remember to adjust your soap and fabric softener use accordingly. ( one tablespoon detergent and one teaspoon fabric softener maximum per load)
My lg front loader wont spin
If the machine does not spin then either the stator or rotor assemblies are faulty. If the rotor or stator fails or is damaged the washer might not spin or agitate.
