LG washing machine shuts off during washing

Self-switching off the automatic washing of ElGi during the washing cycle is a rare occurrence. The reason for this can be either an ordinary short-term failure or failure of any of the elements of the system. First, you must restart the equipment - disconnect the device from power for a few seconds, then reconnect it to the network. If this method does not help, and the LG washing machine turns off during washing and beyond, you will have to make a detailed diagnosis of the unit.

What could have happened?

There are a lot of factors that determine the possibility of spontaneous shutdown of the LG washing machine. To understand how to deal with a problem, you need to diagnose a malfunction. More likely that is the case:

• failure in the specified washing mode (indicates a malfunction of the control module);
• exceeding the permissible load mass (electric motor power is not enough to rotate an excessively heavy drum);
• choosing the wrong wash mode;
• damage to the hatch lock device. In this case, the washing machine will not be able to work, since the loading hatch will be closed loosely;
• protective shutdown caused by leakage protection system. The water level sensor in the pan gives a signal, as a result of which the equipment stops working;
• failure of one of the most important elements of the machine: heating element, motor, drain pump, etc .;
• clogged intake or drainage system.

Most problems can be easily fixed with your own hands. It is necessary to evaluate the state of the washing machine, to observe at what stage of the program execution the appliance stops functioning. Establishing the root cause of the malfunction will help return the washing machine to full operation.

There is an imbalance

Modern LG automatic machines are equipped with a convenient sensor for weighing laundry placed in a drum. If the mass allowed by the manufacturer is exceeded, the equipment will display the corresponding error code on the display or simply turn off.

In addition, when filling the drum with things, clothes should be evenly distributed over its inner surface. Otherwise, the laundry forms one continuous lump, which, in turn, will cause the drum to be unbalanced and the washing machine to turn off spontaneously.

In addition to the provoked imbalance, overloading the machine is fraught with failure of shock absorbers and stretching of the springs holding the drum.

That is why it is necessary to observe the maximum load mass of the washing machine, to properly lay out the laundry inside the drum.

Short circuit to one of the nodes

Often the reason for the spontaneous shutdown of ElGi’s washers is the unexpected breakdown of some critical system element. For example, in the event of a heater failure, the water recruited into the tank will not be able to heat according to the specified parameters, but will be either cold or brought to a boil. Having recorded overheating, the temperature sensor will automatically work and turn off the equipment.

If the electric motor is damaged, the washing machine will become uncontrolled. In this case, it is possible to note too fast, or, conversely, slow revolutions of the drum. Damage to the drain pump can be easily determined at the stage of draining the waste fluid into the sewer.

If the water leaves the tank for more than 10 minutes, you can talk about clogging of the pump, drain hose, or the final failure of the pump.

Aquastop Trigger

The AlGee machine, equipped with a leakage protection system, can turn off when the water level sensor located in the pan is triggered. In such a situation, the washing machine should display an error code corresponding to the problem before disconnecting, but, unfortunately, the machine does not always notify about this. Therefore, users may appear turned off LG washer, without any code on the display.At first glance it is impossible to guess that the pallet of the machine is filled with water.

Sometimes a leak prevention sensor starts to stick and trigger at any time. To make repairs in this case is quite simple, just put your hand in the pan and put the float in its original place.

Control Unit Failure

The main control unit is capable of triggering a shutdown of the machine. It will not work to test the board without disassembling the machine and opening the module, the front of work is rather big. Professionally test the control unit and carry out its repair can only an experienced specialist who is versed in this area.

When conducting surface diagnostics with your own hands, it is best to use a multimeter. Based on the data issued by the device, we can conclude that the board is in good working order. Sometimes a glance at a module is enough to realize that it needs to be replaced. Burned contacts, burned out tracks, etc. will be visible on the block.
