Service Manual for LG WM3988HWA please! someone!

Put it on drying cycle, coolest temp, shortest time.

Cleaning the turbo steam generator (TSG) on this machine is best left to a qualified technician.

check pumping is good and filter clean...

remove the two hoses connected to the machine and there your strainer maybe clogged

Solution for finding the right part, the (5 way) Valve assembly:Part Number: AP4998623 made by LG

I got the company link from LG. If the link does not work, go the the main website and enter in the model number. appliancepartspro(.)com
p.s. I found a service manual for my unit when I removed (by unscrewing) the inside plastic piece of the pump filter. It was located to the right, in a plastic bag.
p.s.s. I checked my water pressure, it was 90psi. I think this is why my flow limiter 'shot out' the valve and into the tubing.
p.s.s.s. The dryer heater assembly, the duct out, fan, and tubing was filled with so much lint, I was surprised anything could get through.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

If you have not been able to already it is well worth while checking the operation of the drain motor itself.
Someone I helped a couple of days ago had 'thoroughly checked and cleared the filter' but after carrying out the following found a rubber band around the pump causing the problem!!!
----------------------------
Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
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!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
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. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

not on all washer can the sound be turned off if your washer can you should find a "end of cycle signal" button on th efront panel

try different combination. if snag persists, software problem

CHECK THE WATER FILTERS AT THE BACK OF THE UNIT THEY ARE PROBABLY DUE FOR A CLEANING.

Replace the 5 way valve. get the old flow restrictor out of the drying cold water line before reconnecting. It came out of the valve to cause the problem.
