LG Washer Repair – Navarre, OH (Wm2101hw)

We responded to a service call in Navarre, OH for an LG washer displaying an OE error code with water remaining in the tub. The customer also reported leaking and increased noise during spin cycles, but by the time we arrived, the washer was draining properly.

The Problem

The customer reported that the code flashes OE and water is still in the tub. They had checked the outlet filter in the front and found nothing there. The washer did get it to spin but then was leaking water from under the unit. The tub was making more noise in the spin cycle, and this had happened about three weeks ago with the OE code before seeming ok.

Diagnosis

When we arrived, the washer was draining properly at time of service call. The intermittent nature of the OE code suggested potential control board issues, but the control board was no longer available (NLA) for this model.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Demonstrated how to force drain the washer
• Result: Advised customer to continue using the washer and monitor performance

Is It Worth Repairing?

This LG washer model Wm2101hw is an older unit, and with the control board no longer available, major repairs become difficult. For intermittent drain issues like this, monitoring usage and using the force drain method when needed can extend the washer’s life until replacement becomes necessary.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Clean the drain pump filter monthly to prevent OE error codes
• Use HE detergent only and avoid overloading to reduce strain on components
• Leave the door slightly open after use to prevent moisture buildup and odors
