LG Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (WM3700HVA)

A North Canton customer called about water leaking onto the floor from underneath their LG washer. When the filter was removed, more water than normal gushed out, leading to concerns about a possible drain line blockage. We found the hot water valve was seeping and needed replacement.

The Problem

Water was leaking onto the floor from underneath the washer. When the filter was removed, more water than normal gushed out. The customer was unsure if there may be a blockage in the drain line.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the hot water valve was seeping. This was causing the water to leak from underneath the unit. The drain line was not blocked — the issue was with the faulty hot water valve allowing water to escape continuously.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 5220FR2006W — hot valve
• Work performed: Replaced hot valve (cold valve replacement declined)
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

The WM3700HVA is a solid LG front-loader that’s worth maintaining when individual components like water valves fail. A single valve replacement is much more cost-effective than replacing the entire washer, especially on a model known for good longevity with proper care.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Clean the drain filter monthly to prevent water backup and reduce strain on internal valves
• Check water supply hoses annually for signs of wear or mineral buildup that can affect valve performance
• Run LG’s TubClean cycle monthly with the recommended cleaner to prevent residue buildup
