We serviced an LG washer in Clinton, OH that was stopping its cycle before it could spin and drain out. The customer reported the machine would fill with water but wouldn’t complete the wash cycle. Our diagnosis revealed a completely plugged cold water screen blocking proper water flow.
The Problem
The customer called because their LG washer stops cycle before it spins and drains out. The machine would start normally but fail to progress through the complete wash sequence, leaving clothes sitting in water.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found the cold water screen completely plugged. This blockage prevented adequate water flow into the machine, causing the washer’s control system to halt the cycle before reaching the spin and drain phases.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Cleaned screen and ran speed wash
- Result: Back in service with normal cycle completion
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG washers are well-built machines that typically provide good value when properly maintained. A simple screen cleaning like this one extends the appliance’s life significantly and costs far less than replacement. For a model like the WM3470HVA, keeping the water supply clean ensures reliable operation for years to come.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Check and clean inlet water screens every 6 months to prevent flow restrictions
- Run LG’s Tub Clean cycle monthly with the recommended cleaning solution
- Leave the door slightly open after use to prevent moisture buildup and odors
