This sounds like something has shorted causing the breaker to trip. You definitely need a qualified LG repairman to check it out.

I have LG washer & drayer WD-14331ADK .ITS start/pause button not allowing washer to follow programme but just flashing this button .

Look for a circuit breaker that has tripped Reset the breaker then by turning off your washing machine for a few minutes if it still is not working either the power cord is broken or the control panel is no longer working on the washer and needs to be repaired.

How to check for power?

Do you mean you confirmed there is no power to the washer, or do you just mean it doesn't seem to power on? Have you checked the circuit breaker panel to confirm the breaker for the washer isn't tripped? Do you have a circuit tester or multimeter to confirm you are getting power to the output the washer is plugged in to?

Last night, the breaker tripped and we have lost power to the stove, hot water heater and the washer. We reset the breaker however, it dosnt seem like it is pushing enough power out for the stove, hot...

That means you have only one live wire running the whole house. If this happens the power sneaks through a 220 volt appliance and feeds the other half of the house but at reduced power (a brown out) This may damage appliances. Reset the main to the house. If it still isn't fixed call the electric company in your region to fix the wires feeding your house

I was doing a small load of laundry when the breaker tripped

Sounds like an electrical short somewhere in the washer. Needs to be checked out by qualified service tech.

Washer stopped mid-cycle, water in the bottom of the tub. Circuit breaker popped due to over-load. Reset breaker and it immediately popped again. Could this be cause by a jam in the grinder assembly?

My dishwasher just quit mid cycle. (still has water in it) It is a whirlpool partner 1. I checked the breaker and it wasn't tripped... but i reset it anyways. When I tried the dishwasher again it worked for a second and turned off. I have done reading about the thermo fuse but can't find it. Not sure how big of a problem this is.
Dishwasher is 5 years old.

Thanks,
Dale

Power surge and breaker went off, turned it back on and washer comes on but not the dryer, is there a reset button

The dryer is on a different circuit as it is 240 volts. Look in your breaker box and find the breaker for it (it should be tripped half way). Turn it completely off and then back on. There is no reset button for it. Make sure the plug is securely pushed all the way into the outlet.

HI CHECK THESE....
Step 1: Make sure the washer is receiving power. Check the cord, the plug, and the outlet. If a wall switch controls the outlet, make sure the switch is working. Look for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers at the main entrance panel. If the unit is receiving power and still won't run, press the reset button on the control panel (if the washer has one).

Step 3: Make sure that both water faucets are turned on and that the drain and soap-saver return hoses are properly extended, without kinks. If the washer has a water-saver button, make sure the button is depressed; water may not circulate through the filter nozzle if the basket is not full and the button is not depressed.
Step 4: To make sure the water is the proper temperature, check the temperature selector switches on the control panel to make sure they're properly set. Also check the water heater temperature control. It should be set no lower than 120 degrees F.
