What is sensor magnet in
There really is a sensor magnet that is necessary for door lock mechanism to work. Not sure about service call charge, but if it works the he did fix it anyway
Vibrates real bad in spin mode.
Check to see if the washer is level, and adjust the leveling legs if necessary. Always lock the legs in place after adjustment to keep them from getting loose as they do work themselves loose during heavy vibration conditions.
The following items could cause the vibration problem:
1. Clutch assembly
2. Vibration dampers that support the tub. Should one or more be faulty, always replace all four simultaneously.
There comes black stuff out of the washer when i spin. Isit the stasoft?
Fill your machine with hot water (if you only have cold water connected, then add hot water with a bucket) until the machine is filled to the top mark. Add a cup of dishwasher powder and stir it to dissolve. You can also let you machine run a short while, but be carefull that the water is not pumped out. Turn the machine off and let it stand overnight. Then turn it on the next morning and let it wash a complete cycle. You don't have to let the rinse part of the cycle complete. Just turn the machine off when the first water has been pumped out.
What this does: The machine builds of a residue between the drum and outer housing which is not removed in the normal wash cycle, especially if you don't wash with hot water. LG recommends that the machine is cleaned in the above way once "fluff" or black residue is starting to show in clothes after washing.
Where is the menu button
Your machine does not have a menu button, the closest it comes to a menu button is the "Option" button on the left side of the panel.
LG washer drains withour washing!!!!
Call LG customer service. The unit is probably still in warranty. If not contact a certified LG repair shop and have them come examine and if possible repair the machine.
Spin and then stop and alarm
(1) If the washer won't spin, the clutch assembly might be worn out. The clutch assembly makes the connection between the transmission and the inner tub. It is designed to allow the tub to get up to the proper spin speed gradually. As the clutch wears out it may prevent the tub from spinning. The clutch is not repairable, if it is loud or not working properly it will need to be replaced
(2) If the drive belt is faulty or if it isn't tight on the pulleys the washer won't spin properly and could cause the machine to stop.
WE have an LG WF - T857 and the spin cycle isn't going. The machine doen't stop and beep, just stays on the cycle and makes a humming sound. Any ideas?
No spin, try these:
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.
