- In this video, I'll show you how to fix a LG Washing Machine that won't start or power on. This can be the noise filter or mother board causing the issue most of the time. Other times it can be the interfacing buttons themselves. Once corrected, a good quality surge protector can keep most of these issues at bay going forward.

ONE OF YOUR COMMENTS SAVED ME A SERVICE CALL. I just wet and placed the plastic hose end connected to my 650 Pound pressure LAB HELD VACUUM PUMP onto the ON Button on my 4 year broken LG WASHER front panel.
Now my LG Washer is working again! The ON Button needed to be pumped up. 😁
Our 14 year old LG quit working. Had no idea what to do, but saw your video. Then it all fell into place, and looking at the noise filter revealed an upgrade part number. Definite proof that was what I replaced last time. Oh, I shortcutted by checkig the fuse on the board. Same issue as last time.
This is the single, most useful video I've ever found on CZcams. THANK YOU!
Haha great!!! 👍🏻
No that’s not always the problem. The problem is that we use it the wrong way. It’s a sensor start button but people who install the machine especially from the big bug stores don’t understand the importance to perfectly level the machine. If the
poorly leveled machine keeps being used the start button would not turn on. I pushed the machine turned on. For all who want to do it yourself check the foam of the start button before you order the expensive parts. Usually electric parts are okay. The issue is the poorly leveled installation. Yes most of the time it’s the sensor foam but people don’t talk about it.
Wow! Thank you Josh!
This is the best video I've seen, you are saving a boat load of people money and time, not to mention keeping the machines out of landfills! Thank You!
Thanks!
This video is SO helpful! Now we know what to check out--and how to do it. Thanks
Thanks for being descriptive in your video. God bless Josh.
My wife has the identical machine with the no power issue. Followed your guidance to a T and found it pionted to the mother board as you suggested. Replaced the mother board and it's running again. Thanx for your insight into highly possible problems.
You are officially my hero. I have this LG WT7600HWA model and needed to replace the water level pressure switch, but access was different on all other videos, because they were older models. So glad I dug deeper and found your video. You are the only one who showed how to remove the first top white panel in the rear. My washer started filling to the top, agitating and then draining and spinning. 4+ years of regular use and this was the first issue. Bought my part locally from Leo's Appliance Parts. He has been in business 37 years. Love to support local if I can. Following your directions to lift and pull off made the cover popped right off and I am running a load as I type. Replacing the water level presser switch was the easy part. Thank you. I just subscribed and I will visit your site on my next repair need.
Glad I could help!!
Great video - very informative!
Thanks for posting!
I used your video to disassemble the rear control panel and also to test my noise filter. My issue was fixed by inserting a piece of a toothpick into the button foam pads to expand them enough for the touch sensors to activate again.
Thanks for the video. I took it apart and checked for continuity, it was fine so thought I was going to need a new washer. Put it back together, plugged it in just in case, and it works again! For no actual reason, I guess it just wanted some TLC.
Thank you, Josh! This video is SO helpful! Now we know what to check out--and how to do it. You are even more helpful than LG. Let's hope we can save another LG from the landfill before its time.
That's the goal! Thanks for the support!
Awesome knowledgeable video! Thank you!!!
A few people mentioned the buttons getting compressed. One guy mentioned a high power suction device. I just used a suction cup (from a phone repair kit), used it to pull the panel around the button, and that totally made it work!
Thanks for the info!
That didn't work on mine. And is neither what this guy mentioned in this video. My control panel is gone.
Thanks for the video. Going through this on mine right now. Would have loved a quick video on actually changing the motherboard. Thnx.
I think there's a video about how to change the motherboard on one of the appliance repair CZcams channels. I can't remember which one, but if you search for it, you'll find it. It's not hard to do.
Thanks for the diagnostic info, I need the expensive part. Seriously though, excellent job!
Glad it was helpful!
Really great tutorial. Plan on using this later on my washer. Intermittently, she stops working and will turn off when trying to start a wash.
Thank you!
Good video - thanks for posting!
Just last week on my LG washer,it would not start or showed any power.I saw a video that said to just unplug it from the wall to reboot the motherboard ,and to my surprise,it worked.Been working fine for now.😅
For those that may not know this applies to all LG front loaders as well. The noise filter is usually located on the right side of the case.
Good tip!
@@joshcobb4100 Josh, Should I be getting 12 Volts DC at the orange and the black plugs going into the motherboard to power it? (the noise filter passes - it connects through the coil just like in your test). The question is: Why am I NOT getting any voltage at the plugs going into the mother board. If I had voltage there, going into the motherboard, I would be 100% sure it is in fact the mother board. I had a mouse visit the area under the back panel and I am now checking all wires to make sure they are NOT bit through. I have a feeling that she cut one of the wires snacking on.
Question another site said did I check to see if the drain was clogged wondering what the drain has to do with the power
Great Video, our machine will sometimes work and then not work, it is not consistent is that the motherboard? .
Fantastic. Thank You
Thanks much for the quality content
Did your test, did not find a bad filter, reset connections on main board and it starts again. Thanks for a great video that worked for me. Mine is a LT7300CW, very similar. I think it was also possible that the switch is poorly designed and moving the face was enough since they recalled the face of this unit right away after I got it in 2020.
I have the same wt7300cw mo😮del as you. We bought it in May of 2019 . After the 1st yr of use the no power happened once and I unplug n plug back and good to go . After 2 nd year, it happened a few times then same fix. 3rd year, it is more often and I called an repair man for 75$ and he said it's the start button is kinda pushed in and he fiddled with it and power back. Until 5 yrs now, no power problem happening more frequently, sometimes unplugged for a week then power back on. Its very frustrating, so this week we are debating to buy a new machine or try to open the panel and fix ourself. I think it's the power button problem.
Is you machine still working now?
On which settings do you put the multimeter to check?
I would say most of the time it's not the control panel ....its the start button of the control panel. There's a little square foam pad with a very thin metallic strip going around it. What happens is that little piece of form compresses from continual use and after a while, no longer comes back to its original shape therefore cannot make contact, when you push the front of the control panel. And I fixed it by simply just replacing the foam pad with layers of aluminum foil super glue together and you can put a couple pieces of aluminum foil on the control panel side where it touches and superglue them together until you get the right thickness. Works perfectly. if you happen to have the start button that does not have the form square pad, but has the pin made of metal or plastic you can just loosely wrap a piece of aluminum foil around the pan and it will help it make a better contact and it should work fine.
Worked for me
Thank you
What model is your washer? Mine is wt7300cw.
@Grumpy4Life what model is your washer? Mine is wt7300cw.
my noise filter looks a bit different than this one, i have a yellow and white connector on one side, then red grey and blue on the other. when i press the probes on one side, should i hear sound from each color from both the yellow and white connections? Some make a sound and some dont
Thx for the video! My noise filter has burnt out at the pink plug (at 6:10 of your video). Does anyone know what is it called the pink part? Thx!
We have the same washer and I'm sure this has been asked but I'm wondering can you bypass the main power switch with a button power button and make it work... Our washer is down at financially the worst time possible of course
AWESOME tip!!!
I need YOU to come over here to check to see if my noise filter is okay.
I was told that it's $300 to get a new motherboard and I wasn't even told that the guy can check the noise filter to see if it's working properly. I think $300 is ridiculous to buy for a new motherboard. I'd rather just go out and get a new washing machine for 4 $500 for that kind of money
Thank you so very much!
You bet!!
Question. My technician attempted to fix the lid mechanism motor with the washer connected and it shorted the machine. Smelled like wire burnt. The control panel has no power. Is and the tech never came back. Is there a fuse that I have to replace. I can’t find anything on CZcams .Thanks
Sounds like he might have fried the board, probably the noise filter as well.
Great video! I have a wt7305cv, and could not open the back. Turns out it's an issue with the contact between the display panel and the spring on the start button contact. I am able to start by touching the spring with foil (or a screwdriver) but have not found the right thickness of foil to be consistent totally reassembled
I have the same model. Have you fixed it completely? How did you open the back if you had trouble?
I have a WM2501 H*A (per the cover of the manual) I found out the Motherboard is no longer available from LG
Great video and helpful. I have a 12 year old front load LG washer that has died on me. Both fuses are good. The one in the PCB and noise filter. Do you have a way to test and confirm the PCB is bad? There is a diod that looks to have burnt under the coating but I have not cut into it to see yet. Looks like it was marked with a permanent marker to me right now. Been a great washer too.
If it looks burnt, I wouldn't be surprised if that is the issue. My washer stopped working (with my clothes locked in the water, which I luckily got unlocked) so I opened up the top panel. When I got to the PCB, it became very obvious that multiple things had burnt out and leaked the gross brown liquid (electrolytic fluid) around them. I have one arriving in the mail and will be replacing it in a few days. I still need to check my noise filter, since those can sometimes go out and cause the damage to the PCB.
TY subscribed and liked !
How many Amps should the fuse be? My noise filter PN is eam60991301, but can't figure out which fuse u should buy?
Thanks in advance..
Mine will only come on if you unplug and plug back in. Have to do it after every load. Is this most likely the motherboard?
You’re right. I changed the motherboard.
Mine is less than a year old and it's doing this can't believe these crazy electrical sometimes too much is not a good thing as far as electrical goes I just want my washer to wash my clothes not do delicates it should just bought a cheapy thank you for the video I'll be running a test on it
It was the mother board,and GE replaced it under warranty I guess they have problems with a lot of them
Hi Josh, just ran into this video today. My unit is a WM2501HVA front loader, stopped working. What part is the most likely culprit for the failure in your opinion? Control board? Power display unit? Or is it something more serious? Where would I begin to investigate?
Take that model number and Google search it following the error that you’re having specifically. Down the rabbit hole you go lol. Good luck!
Thanx so much 4 sharing
You are so welcome
hello josh
enjoyed your video.i have an lg top loader that is intermittent in starting, will get a slight spark at power outlet when plugging in, sometimes it works,sometimes not.in your experience could this be in the filter section the control board area.thanks John
I know it’s been 3 months….but this sounds like a grounding issue. You can look for a green wire possible on painted metal or a loose wire connection.
Josh, Great vid. We have a WT7300CV and cannot power up. Bought in May 2020. Want to try the noise filter test. Do you believe that the same two issue would apply to this model?? Thanks again.
Worth a shot!
as far as the elite front loader I have continuity all the way through the noise filter. This one has a user interface on the front and a control board on the back. There is continuity through the control board fuse. Could it be the front interface or a fuse in the interface? It just would not power on. No warning signs.
Probably the actual power button.... They are made with a foam/sponge material that wears down and doesn't keep the connection.... So It doesn't know when you are trying to push the button.
Hi Josh, My top loader power won't turn on, and it has a clicking noise when I push the pause button. Could that be a problem with the lock? Suggestions on how to fix would be great. I did a hard reset, tried spinning the dial and the drum. Nothing.
Did you ever get your washer fixed? Mine is doing this and I opened it up to see that the PCB is fried in multiple places. Most likely the noise filter went bad, so I'm replacing the PCB and likely going to replace either the fuse in the noise filter or the whole noise filter.
so how hard would you say replacing the entire wiring be? Cause I "lucked" out and didn't have mine fry or burn my house down when a Rodent ate bits out of most of the wiring of my 7300 fml
Shouldn't be too bad
Can you check the noise filter by connecting power and see if the out wires are getting 120v?
Yes. The out wires on the noise filter, if no current then bad noise filter. If you are getting 110 then likely bad board.
Thanks Josh. In mine was the noise filter fuse just soldered 3 strand os fine wires and is working again. Question for you, what is the correct fuse for it?
What did the fuse look like?...mi n e looks all white inside ...does that mean it's blown?
That does not mean it’s blown, you’d want to use a multimeter, and see if you have continuity across both ends of the fuse.
Our top load LG washer with the agitator has a Power Button that no longer works no matter how hard we press it. It progressively became harder and harder to push until last week when it now no longer turns on at all. Another video on CZcams explained that it most likely has to do with the button mechanism (there's a piece of foam that activates the power when the button is pushed). Since we are within the year warranty we called up the repairman who came and said it is a very common issue and he ordered a whole new control board and display panel. So the repairman came and ordered a new control panel and display board for our washing machine. When we unwrapped it a service bulletin fell out explaining to the tech what to do (so this is obviously a common issue that LG is aware of). Interestingly enough, it appears that they have updated the button mechanism, there is no foam to be found it looks as if it is now a spring instead. So, I am happy to see that there is no foam to get crushed or break down, however the display panel doesn't have much flex so it is going to be interesting to see the how it will work when the repairman swaps everything out. I will update you with the results tomorrow. BTW the service bulletin advises not to change the display panel unless necessary, but we will leave that up to the repairman.
The panel has a part number of: AGL76194027
PCB Complex: EBR86498808
We have the top loader with the agitator: WT7305CV
Excellent info!
@@joshcobb4100 Sorry forgot to update as life got busy. When the second repairman came to put the new parts on he explained that the issue involves the display panel letting in too much light and therefore not activating the button since it couldn't "sense" the finger as it was letting in too much light. I have no idea what he was talking about. He replaced both the display panel and the control board and the machine works fine for now. Something definitely changed though as our machine just doesn't sound the same anymore, it's much louder on the final drain and spin. There were no foam pieces on the old control board or the new one, I honestly don't understand how it works since the display has practically no flex to it.
We tend to press buttons harder if it doesnt react to a normal touch.
@@jakekeiser7087. Thank you for posting this, got the washer to start. Now to get a long term fix.
@@timjack3000 Glad I could help! Seems you will have no choice but to replace both the display and control panels at some point.
I have a slightly older LG top load, and it died at the end of a cycle with the lid locked. I used a multimeter to check the incoming and outgoing voltage of the noise filters and it was 117.9v. I replaced the main board and it worked fine for 10 days, and then did the same thing. The board is being replaced under warranty, but I’m afraid it’s gonna do the same thing again. What other things can cause that main board to die like that? Both times the exact same way.
Power surge, or shorted outlet!
@@joshcobb4100 - agreed - - look close at the socket, see if it looks bad - all these high tech appliances need to be surge protected - for sure
I noticed on my mother board that there is one connection block that doesn't have a plug to is that common.? Kenmore front load washer
It’s common, not all the plugs get used on every board.
@@joshcobb4100 thanks my noise filter check out good so motherboard it is. Hell makes the beer taste good 😁
It could also be the spring on behind controls. People push to hard and compress the spring and it stops making contact with module.
We just had that issue with ours. Pulled it apart and stretched the spring. Works better than before.
@@traviskinning2040 The $64 question is: What are the steps you take to GET AT that spring? TIA
You can take a spring out of an old ink pen and screw it together with the washer spring to get more distance for contact.
Worked for me with two teenagers pushing to hard all the time.
Great tip!!!
Do you have a video on replacing the mother board?
Nope. I probably would scrap a washer before spending the money on the board.
I have wt7300cw and if I unplug it for 30 seconds it’ll turn on and wash one load and I’ll have to unplug it again. Do you think the motherboard is the issue?
I would start by checking your outlet and making sure it’s grounded correctly and has proper voltage.
@@joshcobb4100 thank you I’ll check it out when I get a chance
Josh, I have a WT5070CW Top loader that doesn't drain the water on spin cycle. I replaced the drain pump and it didn't drain. Thinking that pump was bad I replaced it. Still that pump didn't drain the water. Both pumps I ordered through Amazon and both times they gave me a refund. So I ordered a pump through LG and still the water won't drain. Please help. Pete
If you’re not getting a power signal to the drain pump from the control board likely it’s a bad control board. If you have a voltmeter, you can verify no voltage is going to the drain pump at the point in the cycle when it should be draining. If you tested at the board and it is outputting power, you might have a break or bad connection in your wiring. Most commonly the control board is faulty. However, I have seen some washers when the shocks go bad and bounce around it can break the connectors that go onto the pump. You might check and make sure the ends are not broken at the connector.
I have one; issue with mine is it will start after unplugging and letting sit for hours... could that still be the noise filter???
Could be…or a bad ground in your outlet.
I tested both sides of the red and white boxes and they both caused a beep with the meter tool. When I tested the fuse, there was nothing. Is there any significance to that? Would the fuse need to be replaced? Thanks
Sounds like the fuse is blown. You should definitely get continuity from one side of the fuse to the other side if you’ve got a good metal contact.
@@joshcobb4100 thank you so much for your response!
Does this also work if ur machine turns on starts going then stops and unlocks
Worth a shot.
Thanks for sharing. In my washer the fuse is blown. What is the rating of the fuse? Thanks again!
Not sure.
12A 250V ceramic fast blow (12A 250V)
@wizgeekrobotics3584 you da man!!
I tested the noise filter and looks like it’s the fuse. Do you have a video on how to replace it? Also, what fuse does it use? Thanks!
I am not sure, I believe I looked up the fuse rating on a wiring diagram I got online for it. I bought a multipack at walmart and it had the correct fuse in it.
Hi, Did you found the fuse rating? I have the same problem. Thanks!
Dumb question maybe, but if we needed to find the motherboard part number, where would one look to make sure?
Take your washer model number and enter it into appliancepartspros.com to find that and all the parts for your specific washer!
Hi josh. Thanks for the video. If i can turn the machine on after unplugging the machine for lets say 20 to 30 minutes and plugging back the machine in. Whats can that be. My machine is WT7300cw
Our machine is wt7300cw. 5yrs old now, tried unplugging for the past few yr , and now will take a week before coming back on.
Is yours still working? We are going to attempt to fix it ourselves.
@@janesimmons8001 mine fixed itself for some reason. Not sure what it was. Finger crossed. I did take the whole top apart just to make sure the electrical connection are not coming loose inside. From wall plug to inside connections.
Well, the new control board didn't fix our washer, I tested noise filter has beep. any other ideas? ty
Did you check the outlet / breakers?
@joshcobb4100 yes done all that first. just ordered a noise filter. my neighbor tested for me. I am going with its him, lol. that will be here next week. not sure what to do after that. Checked plug, breaker ask that first. I tinker pretty good, watch video and usually I can fix things. thanks for reply. if it's not cpu or noise filter what you think? scrap? I hate that. only 3 years old. ty!
Omg bro!!! I just bout broke the damn thing and your telling me the damn screws are hidden under that blasted strip in front 🤣😭😭😭
I’ve been there far too many times myself lol I feel you!!
I replaced noise filter and still wont power on. Any thoughts?
Double check your outlet, but sounds like a bad board.
Hi Josh,
I have model WT7300CW, very similar to this. It has been having problems with no power intermittently. I installed a surge protector to no avail. We unplug and replug, push buttons and eventually it works. Today, it seemed deader than a door nail. I got the multimeter and tested the noise filter. It tested good. Put it back in and the machine started. Question is, do you see intermittent problems with the control board?
You might check all of your ground (green) wires and make sure they are all secured and not on painted surfaces. If those all check out, sounds like a board going bad, with a bad connection. You could also check your power cable and be sure it’s not damaged.
@@joshcobb4100 Thank you! Will do.
I am having this exact issue with this exact model, except now it wont power on at all.
@@Kyle-gy8gi i'm less than a week out of warranty... wrestling with LG right now to see if they'll repair under warranty.
According to another youtuber it is the spongy buttons behind the control panel that need fixed.
My sound stopped first could that give a reason of what's wrong with washer
Doesn’t help much with diagnosing, unfortunately.
What do you think is a realistic asking price to put one of these bad boys up for sale would be if say it does need a motherboard?
If you’re going to sell it nonworking as is, you’ll be lucky to get $50.
@joshcobb4100 that's so f'd. Thanks for the response! That's super helpful! (Not sarcasm lol I mean it)
@paigemcdonald568 you bet! It’s a shame considering how expensive they are brand new but to be honest if I grab 10 of these with that issue 9 of them I probably got for free lol.
@joshcobb4100 so crazy! My next washer is gonna be as basic as basic can be. They last longer lol
It’s unfortunately no longer a matter of purchasing a washer that’s gonna last the longest, the trick is to buy one that will be the cheapest to fix. Whirlpool or Maytag.
Great video Josh, I have an LG WT7800CW, that sometimes will not power on. If I unplug it for 30 min or so, and plug it back in, I'll get a "pop" and blue spark at the outlet and the washer will power on then. Have you ran into this on LG washing machines?
Yes, you might look for a loose ground wire (the green ones) or see if you can find one not actually grounded. I've seen them fastened to painted surfaces many times.
Dumb question, the loose ground wire would be on the washer itself?
Yes. Probably under the console.
I have a wt7300cw. Exact same situation, need a spark when plugging back in then power will be on. Otherwise no power .
Tempted to open the panel and try fixing it.
Is your washer still working now?
Do you think it's my wall outlet problem??
My unit is good with power but operates like it’s possessed on any setting. From start to finish each phase of the cycle there’s an issue. Before water is added the auger and tub are crazy shaking and spinning for long periods(also randomly thought out cycle)It is different from the normal actions of cleaning. Will not add enough water or way way to much. Also add in it in middle of full spin, for just a few seconds. Also in spin will full reverse, can hear belt or motor high winding sound.These are the most common aggravating things. Our water bill has doubled, and tripled because of this. I have to stand there or check on it every few minutes to make sure it’s working properly, especially at the very end after the spin. Even after completing it will start over adding water again. Help!
Sounds like a shorted board. I would just get a new washer, I ended up despising this model and don't work on it anymore.
Mine works at time and not other times. Any suggestions?
Bad wiring maybe?
Where did you get your motherboard?
eBay
What are your thoughts if the washer sometimes won’t turn on, but after unplugging for a couple minutes and replugging it in, it turns on?
Possibly the power button is becoming non-responsive.
According to the LG Service Manual, when testing the continuity for the Line Filter, they show in their diagram to test contacts WHI (1) to RD1 (1) for continuity and WH1 (3) to RD1 (2) for continuity. But, in your video, you connected WH1 (1) to RD1 (2) and WH1 (3) to RD1 (1). According to LG, you did it wrong.
Hey bro just to let you know take the panel off the back of the motherboard and check in line fuse #2 that is usually the fuse that blows that makes the motherboard inoperable replace inline fuse number 2n good 2 go 5:46
Thanks for the tip!
No not true. We fixed our problem and our machine is close to five. Here is how:
We leveled ours and it is working at the lightest touch like new. Installation was done incorrectly. Before you call someone do the ThinQ as we did. It helps to diagnose problems. You for sure know it’s not the expensive parts, which the people who looked at it wanted to replace.
Hello i havz a question as im having problems with my LG washing machine.
When i press the Button ON the volatge tester from red become green. Frim what i understand the problem in my case is the front control board?
Any motherboard videos
I went to an appliance store paid $600 for a used and inspected and brought it home to hook up and it would not advance. The salesman never put it through a complete cycle. He said easy fix put on a new advancer. Since I had to rent a truck for $150 to bring it home 8 ordered one and it did the same thing. I'm through with listening to "it all checks out". From now on I believe nothing and learn to work on them. The mother boards can be taken apart to see what burned up.
I am 100% on the same page with you sir. Everything I sell I put through four complete loads and videotape the last load for my customers to see. Best practice!

CAn you give us the specs on the fuse?
If I remember correctly I think it was a 10amp tube type. I would double check the wiring diagram tho to be sure.
I see the problem, the cold and hot water is swapped.
The machine is only 4 years old and the whole control board just went out after only 4 years that’s a bit disappointing! It’s sad that appliances and everything else has been cheapened up
I second that!!
My 1200 dollar front load washer and dryer went out at 6 months old :( I am a single mom I can't afford to fix it's sad this was a once in a lifetime buy. :(
I am now at my third time the mother board will need replaced!
Tiny piece of tin foil taped behind the start button on the display panel. Fixed.
Apparently our LG Washer (bought at Best Buy) was 2 years newer than the one in the video and none of the parts matched up with these so none worked and the washer never came on again. Buy washers with as long an extended warranty as you can get. These "do it yourself repair videos are misleading and the washer went out twice even with replacement circuit boards.
They work for people with matching washers looking for solutions. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you, but you don’t have the same washer. If you did, it might have worked. My videos are meant to help those who are looking for solutions and on a budget…and they do help…but you have to do your due diligence and find the right videos. If you take your apple to an orange stand you won’t get the answers you’re looking for…that is not the orange merchants fault bro.
I understand that I had a different model. Just calling attention to the fact. Thanks for replying.
