LG Washer Repair – Canton, OH (WT6105CW)

A Canton homeowner called about their LG washer making a grinding sound when trying to go into the spin cycle. We found a water bottle lid stuck in the drain pump — a common but easily fixable problem that was blocking proper drainage.

The Problem

The customer reported their LG washer was making a grinding sound when it is trying to go into the spin cycle. This type of noise typically indicates something foreign is interfering with the pump or spin mechanism.

Diagnosis

During inspection, we found a water bottle lid in the drain pump. Small items like bottle caps, coins, or hair ties commonly work their way through the wash basket and get trapped in the pump housing, creating grinding or rattling noises during the spin cycle when water is being drained.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts replaced
• Work performed: Removed water bottle lid from drain pump
• Result: All good — washer operating normally

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this LG WT6105CW, absolutely. This was a simple foreign object removal with no parts needed. LG top-load washers are generally reliable machines, and this model should provide years more service once the obstruction is cleared.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Always check pockets before loading — remove coins, bottle caps, and small items that can damage the pump
• Run LG’s TubClean cycle monthly with recommended cleaner to prevent buildup in the wash basket and pump
• Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold growth
