turn tap on at the wall
check that the water in solenoid is operational
check that the stop washer in the tap is allowing water in to the machine
check that the water level is set correctly
call a technician does water flow if hot water is selected
Oh the wonderment of a LG Washer! (I have one!) You have a water inlet problem...Duh! But LG makes it harder by having about 4-5 different solenoids that control Hot, Warm, Cool, and Cold settings. Easy way is to isolate. shut off the Hot water first (behind the machine) see if the problem persists. If it does then you know it is your Cold Water solenoid. If Not then it is the Hot one.
You seem to have a broken component in the machine- I would call the LG contact number and inquire there- depending on how old the model, serial number, date of purchase, proof of purchase, you may get replacement parts and a washing machine isnt too complicated to navigate around. Im sure you could fix it :) But wish you the best of luck- If not- Second hand shops that sell these devices are usually very knowledgeable and for a small fee- you could have it working in no time.
Sorry but I do not know your particular machine BUT I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!
Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!
