The reasons why the LG washing machine does not turn on

People used to use the washing machine often enough, up to several times a week. We try not to think that this technique can break down and let us down. But what to do if your LG washing machine suddenly stopped responding, or does not turn on at all?

Why not turn on

By plugging the power plug into the outlet, you find that your washing machine did not respond, the indicator light did not light up, or the welcome music did not play. Reasons why washing machine does not turn on, set: from the banal carelessness of the user to serious damage.Some of them can be corrected by yourself, others only with the help of a specialist.

Lack of electricity

The most common situation, the fault of which can start the unit fails - the lack of electricity in the network. The reason for this may be the following events:

1. The house turned off the electricity, but you did not notice.
2. Knocked out machine due to network overload or short circuit.
3. RCD, for example, has triggered due to a leakage of electricity.
4. Out of order outlets. To eliminate this assumption, include in it another device. If it works, then this reason can be immediately discarded.

Faulty power cord

To check the working condition of the power cord, going from the equipment to the outlet, it is best use the tester (multimeter). Such manipulations can be made using an indicator screwdriver. If the problem is confirmed, then the cord must be replaced completely. Or, having discovered the place of the rupture, try to connect it with a special tape or a soldering iron, which is in fact wrong and dangerous, and will not solve the problem, but will only delay it.

Faulty power button

For most washing machines, after turning them on, the power is supplied to the on / off button. You can check the operating status of the button using a tester. By setting it to buzzer mode and de-energizing the typewriter, it is necessary to ring the button in the on and off state. If it is working, then the multimeter will emit a characteristic sound. Otherwise, its replacement is required.

Problem with FPS (noise filter)

The noise filter suppresses electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the work of other nearby devices. It can be a TV, dishwasher, microwave. In the event that a jamming filter breaks down, it ceases to pass an electric current through the circuit, resulting in a problem with turning on the washing machine.

To make sure that the FPS is normal, it needs to be called with a multimeter.

For this you need remove the top cover of the washing machine and find under it a noise filter. At the entrance to the FPS there are three wires - ground (or earth), phase and zero (neutral); the output is only two - phase and neutral. In the event that the input voltage is present, but it is not at the output, therefore, the problem is in this part and it must be replaced.

Attention! When calling a noise filter, be extremely careful.

Failed control module

If the reasons that were given are not confirmed, then the problem lies in the non-working control module. Keep in mind that replacing this part is quite expensive investment in the future of a washing machine, and not always justified. But experienced specialists in some cases can fix this part, it remains only to call the master to the house.

Why the wash mode does not start

There are also such cases when the indicator lights up when the device is turned on in the network, but the washing does not start. If, when turned on, the washing machine informed about its operability with a lit indicator or an audible signal, but if you select any mode, the wash does not start, then the problem lies in something as follows.

Faulty door blocker

The first thing to do is to make sure that the hatch is really tight. In the event that the door does not interfere with anything, it is closed, it is necessary to check whether the hatch was blocked after the program was started. If a lock did not occurit means that the door lock is defective. To see this through to the end, you need to ring the mechanism.

If at the start of the program the voltage is applied to the door, but blocking does not occur, the UBL (hatch lock device) is faulty and must be replaced.

When turned on, the indicators flash

If you connect the equipment to the network, you notice that all the indicators are blinking in a chaotic manner or go off together and also light up, then the problem lies in the wiring. In this case, you need to find the problem area and replace it.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many faults that can affect the performance of the washing machine, including its inclusion. Most of them are caused by our carelessness and carelessness, and they can be corrected on our own. Others, clearly, require the intervention of a master, especially if you do not have basic knowledge in electrical engineering. In any case, beforehow to turn on the washing machine, make sure that the house has no problems with electricity, the water supply is in working condition, and the hose is not pinched anywhere.
