If there is no water intake or the inlet valve working then it can be faulty in the main control board. The possible fault that the machine does not start off the cycle is because there are errors due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows though the inlet then the flow pressure should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for rinse and wash.

My LG has a magnet on the lip of the door flap. This magnet sits behind a flimsy little plastic clip that is bound to break off after a while. Look for the magnet inside your drum - it will stick to the walls of the drum. Stick it back on with masking tape or glue. Simple cure for a sloppy design!

This is probably the seal around the door and drum. Professional work is required.

Have you tried going to the company's website? You can probably download the manual you need.
