A customer in Fairlawn called about their LG washer with no power. They had checked the breaker, checked the outlet, and tried a hard reset, but didn’t hear the click when the lid closed and the unit wasn’t engaging. After reinstalling the door latch, the washer was working properly again.
The Problem
The customer reported no power to their LG washer. They had already checked the breaker and outlet, and tried a hard reset. They also noted they didn’t hear the click when the lid closed and the machine wasn’t engaging.
Diagnosis
The door latch was the culprit. When a washer door latch fails, it prevents the machine from recognizing that the lid is properly closed, which stops the entire wash cycle from starting.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — existing door latch reinstalled
- Work performed: Reinstalled the door latch
- Result: Washer working properly with 30-day service guarantee
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG washers are generally reliable appliances, and the WT7200CW is a solid top-load model. Door latch issues are common and usually worth fixing, especially when the repair doesn’t require new parts. This washer should provide many more years of service.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Keep the lid area clean and free of detergent buildup that can interfere with latch operation
- Don’t slam the lid — gentle closing extends latch life on LG top-loaders
- Run LG’s TubClean cycle monthly to prevent odors and buildup in front-load models
