We responded to a service call in Uniontown for an LG washer that wouldn’t complete its wash cycle. The customer reported that the wash cycle doesn’t work, and our diagnosis revealed a simple but effective obstruction preventing normal operation.
The Problem
The customer contacted us because their LG WT5001CW washer’s wash cycle doesn’t work. The machine would start but couldn’t complete the washing process properly.
Diagnosis
During our inspection, we found a coin stuck between the wash plate and spin basket. This prevented the washer from agitating in wash mode, which explained why the wash cycle couldn’t function normally.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Removed coin stuck between wash plate and spin basket
- Result: Washer restored to proper agitation and wash cycle operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG washers are generally reliable appliances, and the WT5001CW is a solid top-load model. When the issue is something as simple as a foreign object causing mechanical interference, it’s absolutely worth the repair cost rather than replacing the entire unit.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Always check pockets thoroughly before loading clothes to prevent coins, small items, and debris from entering the wash basket
- Run LG’s TubClean cycle monthly with the recommended cleaning solution to prevent buildup
- Leave the lid open after use to allow the tub to air dry and prevent moisture-related issues
