LG Washer Repair – ALLIANCE, OH (WT5270CW)

A customer in Alliance called about their LG washer only delivering hot water instead of cold. What looked like a major repair turned out to be a simple plumbing mix-up that we sorted out in minutes.

The Problem

The customer reported they weren’t getting cold water to wash with and were only getting hot water from their LG washer. They also asked if we could calibrate their GE Profile oven temperature while we were there.

Diagnosis

The hot and cold water lines were reversed on the washer. This is a common installation error that can happen during setup or if the lines get switched during maintenance work.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None needed
• Work performed: Swapped the hot and cold water lines back to their correct positions, performed a 20 degree offset on the GE oven
• Result: Washer now delivers proper cold water, instructed customer to do the biscuit test on the oven for further adjustment if necessary

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG washers are generally well-built machines worth repairing, especially newer models like this WT5270CW. When the “repair” is simply reconnecting water lines correctly, there’s no question it’s worth fixing rather than replacing a perfectly good appliance.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Check water supply connections periodically to ensure they haven’t loosened or been disturbed
• Run LG’s TubClean cycle monthly to prevent buildup and odors
• Leave the door slightly open after loads to allow moisture to escape and prevent mold
