LG Washer; Refrigerator Repair – Carrollton, OH (WM3470HWA)

A customer in Carrollton called about their LG front-load washer with a rubber gasket covered with mold and vibration issues during the spin cycle. They also needed service on their Whirlpool refrigerator. We found multiple issues that needed attention across both appliances.

The Problem

The customer reported they needed to replace the rubber gasket around the front door of their LG washer because it was covered with mold. They also wanted the vibration corrected during the spin cycle. Additionally, they requested cleaning of their Whirlpool refrigerator coils and wanted the power cord checked on the refrigerator.

Diagnosis

The LG washer’s door boot was indeed heavily contaminated with mold, requiring complete replacement. We also identified issues with the Whirlpool refrigerator’s condenser coils and a problem with the water connection to the rear of the unit that needed repair.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: MDS47123605 — door boot gasket
• Work performed: Replaced the door boot, cleaned fridge coils, and repaired water connection to rear of fridge
• Result: Both appliances returned to proper operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

The WM3470HWA is a solid mid-range LG front-loader that’s generally worth repairing when caught early. Door boot replacement addresses both the mold issue and can help reduce vibration problems. For refrigerator maintenance like coil cleaning and water line repairs, these are always worthwhile investments that extend appliance life significantly.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Run the tub clean cycle monthly and leave the door open between loads to prevent mold growth on the door boot
• Check that the washer is level and all four feet are firmly planted to minimize vibration during spin cycles
• Wipe down the door seal regularly and remove any debris or buildup that could harbor bacteria
