LG Washer Repair – Uniontown, OH (WM2701HV)

We responded to a service call in Uniontown, OH for an LG washer that must be unplugged and plugged back in to start. When we arrived at the Glenshire Circle location, the unit was working while we were there, suggesting an intermittent electrical issue that may require a new control board.

The Problem

The customer reported that their LG washer must be unplugged and plugged back in to start. This type of symptom typically indicates an electrical control issue where the main board isn’t properly initializing or maintaining power to start the wash cycle.

Diagnosis

During our diagnostic visit, the washer was working while we were there. This intermittent behavior is common with failing control boards that may work temporarily but lose functionality over time. The unit appears to need a new board to resolve the starting issue permanently.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts recorded
• Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation completed
• Result: Working while technician was present, board replacement recommended

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG front-load washers from this era are generally well-built machines worth repairing when the issue is isolated to the control board. The WM2701HV is a solid model, and replacing the main control board should restore reliable operation for years to come.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Run a monthly cleaning cycle with LG’s recommended washer cleaner to prevent buildup
• Leave the door and detergent dispenser open after each use to air dry
• Check and clean the drain pump filter every few months to maintain proper drainage
