Question about LG Washing Machines
Tumble driers and combination washer driers have a 10 minute safety margin, where the heat fior drying is dispersed, to avoid people grabbing very hot clothing.. especially if it is not quite dry as this would make them, hotter to the touch.
Tumble driers usually continue to tumble, but blow cool air through the clothes to get rid of the heat, before stopping.

My Kenmore H3 stops working, starts beeping and flashing "F9", but it only happens when I'm washing a heavy load like jeans or bath towels. I think it gets off-balance and I have found that if I hit "pause" once and then hold in "start" briefly it somehow resets itself and works fine from then on till the load is completely done.

A similar thing happened to mine. I think it starts when there is a power cut or something similar mid cycle. The solution (which you would never guess!) is the following:
Select any programme - say 30 Cottons
Press and hold any function button - NOT Start
Signal will sound at varying levels - release button when it gets to the level that you want, off in your case.
De-select programme
Good luck!

SOURCE: My washing machine does not spin dry the clothes
The clothes are wet after spinning When the clothes are wet at the end of a cycle, check these: Motor coupler Spin cycle Siphoning Water-inlet valve Motor coupler To test the motor coupler, re-start the washer in its spin cycle. Let the machine run for a minute, and then open the lid and notice whether the tub is spinning: If it's spinning when you lift the lid, the coupler is fine. If it isn't spinning--and your machine was produced by Whirlpool®--you may have a broken coupler. Many Whirlpool-made washers use a small, relatively inexpensive device called a motor coupling. This plastic-and-rubber component is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. When that happens, you need to replace it completely. Spin cycle If the washer doesn't reach its proper spin speed, the clothes may be too wet at the end of a cycle. Check to be sure the load is properly balanced and run a spin cycle again. If the clothes are still wet, you may have a worn or loose belt (Maytag®), a worn clutch (GE®/Hotpoint®), or a worn motor pulley or tub bearing. Replace the applicable component. Alternatively, there could be clothes caught between the inner and outer tubs. Read the "It spins but won't pump" section of the "It won't drain" section. Also, there could be other things that cause friction on the drive train. Seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician. Siphoning If the water that pumps from the machine goes right back into the machine after the spin cycle, it may be because your washer is siphoning the water from a laundry tub with a slow drain, back into the washer. Try to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is there something stuck in the drain?) Also, be sure the drain hose doesn't reach more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub. If it does, cut off the excess. Water-inlet valve Water-inlet valves eventually fail. One problem that may develop with a water-inlet valve is that it can no longer completely shut off when the electricity is turned off to it. Then, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub--you may notice that your washer has water in it when you haven't used it for a few days. To fix this, replace the valve

Check the pressure switch -the system that determines correct water
level in the drum. If its giving an incorrect indication to the program
timer machine will either overfill, refuse to fill or refuse to spin.
Its an air operated diaphragm switch triggered by rising air pressure
induced by the entry of water into an airtight vessel attached to the
base of the drum. It tells the program timer that the water has reached
the correct level, allowing it to proceed to the water heating stage in
the cycle.
Power off, drag machine out onto the floor, remove back
cover and top cover. The pressure switch is a round item about 3 inches
across with several wires and a thin rubber pipe attached. It generally
sits just under the top cover. Disconnect the thin rubber pipe from the
switch and blow down through it to clear any blockage.
Switch itself may
be faulty but its more likely the pressure pipe or the vessel attached
to the other end of the pipe is blocked. Some machines have the pressure
vessel integrated as part of the filter unit, with a pressure chamber
moulded into the top of the filter body. Remove the pressure vessel, put
a small nut or screw in it, fill it with water and shake vigorously
till any crud or residue is removed. Refit all parts, check that joints
and connections are water tight.
Also check the filter itself - generally located behind a panel at the
foot of the machine.Some are obvious like little square hatches and some
are hidden behind the trim panel at the foot of the machine. Once panel
is removed the filter should be visible. Its generally a circular
plastic fitting which unscrews in an anticlockwise direction.
Some
hotpoint, indesit and ariston filters are located in the big black sump
hose (the one that leaves the bottom of the outer drum and connects to
the pump). Power off, drag machine out onto the floor, remove back cover
or tip machine up at an angle. Locate sump hose, remove the tensioner
clip by squeezing the tabs together with a large pair of pliers or vise
grips, remove the hose, take out filter and clean. Be prepared for
spillage of water. May help if the machine is tilted backwards at an
angle.

Hi
The issue is either with the thermal fuse of the unit that is bad or the motor that has gone bad. To check what is causing this, first check the fuse which is located inside the rear panel to the exhaust duct and try to jump start the thermal fuse or test its continuity with a voltmeter, no continuity means bad fuse. If the fuse is okay then replace the motor as that part usually makes a hum sound when it is unable to run. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
