How to turn off music on an LG washing machine
You may need to turn off the sound in an LG washing machine in a variety of cases. For some, a small child gets scared when he hears a sharp, unpleasant sound; for others, the machine is in the living room and therefore they want to make its operation quieter. Everyone’s motivations are different, but the goal is the same - to remove the sound from the washing machine. We will tell you how to do this in this publication.
The main way to turn off
When deciding how to turn off the sound in an LG washing machine, first of all we must pay attention to the instructions. If this model of LG washing machine has the technical ability to turn off the sound, the manufacturer will definitely describe it in the instructions, How this description will be made is another matter.
In a number of cases, either there were translation problems, or the manufacturer simply did not consider it necessary to describe this action in understandable language, but in fact, reading the instructions, it is not completely clear how to “turn off” music and any other sounds so that they do not irritate the user. In a number of models of LG washing machines, the sound is turned off by pressing a special button, which is labeled “timer mode” on the control panel. How it works:
- turn on the washing machine by pressing the on/off button;
- Without selecting the washing mode, press the “start program” button;
- then immediately press the button located in the upper right corner of the “timer mode” control panel and hold the button for three seconds;
- after that, press the “start program” button again, check if the LG washing machine has sound, if there is sound, then repeat the action again, only this time we hold the “timer mode” button longer.
Important! The disadvantage of this method is that it is impossible to turn off the sound forever at one time; you will have to do this procedure every time you turn on the LG machine; only on some models the setting is saved.
Alternative way to disconnect
Other ways to turn off the sound of an LG washing machine are not provided by the manufacturer, but they are also acceptable, especially if the warranty on the machine has already expired. You can turn off the sound of your washing machine forever if you turn off the speaker that makes the sound. You can completely unsolder the speaker, and then the LG machine will lose all ability to emit signals, or you can seal or seal the speaker with something, then the signal will remain, but will not be so loud and intrusive.
To perform similar manipulations with the speaker of the LG washing machine, you must first get to it. Let us warn you right away that the speaker is located on the control board, so in order to perform any manipulations with it, you must first correctly dismantle such a board.
How to do it?
- We disconnect the washing machine from the network, turn off the water and disconnect the inlet and drain hoses.
- We take the washing machine out of the niche and turn the back wall towards us.
- Remove the top cover of the washing machine. How to do this correctly is described in an article with a self-explanatory title. Removing the top cover of the washing machine.
- Now let’s turn the machine with the front part towards us and pull out the tray for detergents; to do this, you need to pull it towards you and at the same time press with your finger on the central part of the cuvette.
- To the right and left of the hole for the tray there are screws that need to be unscrewed.
- Next, unscrew the two screws from the upper left corner.
- Carefully, so as not to damage the latches, pull out the entire control panel.
- Turn it over and unscrew the screws holding the board.
- We disconnect the latches with a screwdriver, pull out the control board and turn it over with its front side facing us.
Important! Be careful not to tear off the wires leading from the control panel into the bowels of the machine body.
Now our task is to find the ill-fated speaker on the board. It is usually located near the toggle switch, but depending on the model of the washing machine and its module, the location may be different. Then proceed carefully, either, armed with a soldering iron, unsolder the speaker, or fill it with epoxy resin and reassemble the machine in reverse order.
In conclusion, we note that you can turn off the annoying sounds of an LG washing machine quite easily if you read the instructions for the washing machine. This is done by pressing special buttons after each time you turn on the machine, but if you want to turn off the sound of the machine forever, you will have to slightly “modify” the control board.

Thanks a lot. Machine LG F1068LD.
The setting was retained even after the power was turned off. Thanks again for the advice!
They gave me the best advice! I’ve read so many sites, even on the manufacturer’s official website it doesn’t say that you need to turn it on and press start without a program, and only then press the timer. Thank you! The mute function was preserved after repeated on/off!
