LG Washer Repair – Salem, OH (WM2250CW)

A customer in Salem called about their LG washer that couldn’t get the smell out of the machine despite their cleaning efforts. They wanted the front seal replaced and cleaned to eliminate the persistent odor. We found the boot could be restored without replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported they wanted the front seal replaced and cleaned because they cannot get the smell out of the machine. The washer had developed a musty odor that wouldn’t go away with regular cleaning.

Diagnosis

After inspection, we determined the door boot seal didn’t need replacement. The odor was coming from buildup that could be eliminated with proper cleaning and treatment.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Ran Affresh cleaner and cleaned boot
• Result: Odor eliminated without seal replacement

Is It Worth Repairing?

The LG WM2250CW is a reliable front-load washer that responds well to proper cleaning maintenance. Since this was resolved with cleaning rather than parts replacement, it’s definitely worth maintaining rather than replacing the entire unit.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Run monthly cleaning cycles with Affresh or similar washer cleaner to prevent odor buildup
• Leave the door cracked open after each load to allow moisture to evaporate from the boot seal
• Wipe down the door boot regularly, especially the bottom fold where water and debris collect
