Probably washer is smart enough to detect the out of balance.
Try to distribute the clothes in a balanced maner as soon as you detect it is out of balance.

SOURCE: I have a GE front

I have a different suggestion based on my washer's similar problem. If the black stuff is powdery and localized at the back of the unit, more than likely the culprit is the drum pulley itself is warped, causing the belt to chafe against the drum. The black powder is rubber residue from the scraping of belt on plastic. No need to replace unit. New belt and new pulley run about $70 each.

Washer out ballance

Hi Joe
Check lower balance springs, remove front panel to view there are 6-8 of these, to gain access and remove the front cover, insert a knife or thin blade approx. 4" in the from each side in between the seam on the front panel, this will release the top cover clips and the top cover can be hinged up and back. undo the two top screws to remove the front panel. Also check drum is rotating at full speed when spinning, if not spinning at full speed check and replace drive belt.

When i click the button on the wiifit board to connect to the wii, it connects at a second. then loses connection and wii says it is lost. the button on the board just keeps flashing or goes off

If you haven't already tried to replace the batteries, do this (if you have, this is useful information to include in your problem description :D). If that hasn't worked, you may need to re-sync the board with your Wii.
1. Power on your Wii console (there is no need to power on your balance board at this time).
2. Open the SD card slot cover on the front face of your Wii to reveal the red Sync button on the Wii.
3. On the bottom of your balance board, remove the battery cover to reveal the red Sync button on the balance board.
4. Press the Sync button on the balance board (there is no need to keep it depressed; simply press and release). You will notice the power LED on the power button on the balance board blinking.
5. Now press (and release) the Sync button on the Wii console. After the LED stops blinking, the Sync is complete.
If this does not fix your balance board, it may need to be repaired or replaced. Contact Nintendo and provide warranty information if applicable.
Good luck!

Washer will not spin or ajatate. I need to remove the front panel to see what up?

Use downwards force to relieve tension on the spring clips holding that front panel on.themobilian_1904.jpg

Video how to:

Once yall have the front panel removed yall will notice the motor has a green blinking light on it.
The motor blinks on and off all the time It blinks faster when running. That is normalment mon ami.
If it ain't acting right it will display flashes:

1 flash bad motor
2 flashes slipping belt
3 flashes corrupted software bad motor
4 flashes failed mode shift circuit
5 flashes little green men (bad motor)
6 flashes locked motor check for objects between tub
7 flashes bad lidswitch.
8 flashes motor overheated too much soap
9 flashes brake resister is toast bad motor.

To Reset the Inverter Board: Push the timer knob in so the washer is idle. Unplug the machine for one minute. Plug back in and raise and lower the lid six times within 12 seconds.

After resetting the inverter board, put the machine in a spin cycle and see if it runs. If not, check for a green blinking light on the inverter board. It will flash failure codes according to the picture above. If no light you probably have a blown fuse built into the neutral side of the harness on the white/red wire.themobilian_26.pngthemobilian_27.png

How do you sync the wii console and wii fit board

Put the Wii Fit game disc in the Wii and start the game. Then open the small SD Card slot cover on the front of the Wii console then remove the battery cover on the bottom of the Wii Balance Board. Press and release the SYNC button on the Wii Balance Board. The light on the board should start blinking. Afterwards press and release the red SYNC button on the Wii console while the light on the board is still blinking. The light on the balance board will stop blinking and stay on steady once the syncronization is successful.

My lg front load washer is blinking LE my lg front-load washer sometimes blinks LE and doesn't finish the cycle

LE codes are extensively covered in past Fix-Ya solutions, but are generally caused by only a handful of things. 1. the " Load Error " can be a very off balanced load. 2. excessive use of soap leads to too much suds, and thus drag on the inner tub. (use 1 tablespoon of HE soap max. per load) or 3. the Hall sensor (part number 6501KW2001A) has failed. The hall sensor is rather easy to replace, and is covered by a seven year part warranty. Take the back cover off. Take the big nut off and remove the motor rotor. Remove the bolts holding the motor windings. Remove the electric plug on the sensor and unclip it from the motor winding. Snap new sensor on and reassemble. Usually takes under a half hour. On a difficulty scale of 1 - 10, it might rate a 4. This should be a Fix-Ya for your machine, and at basically no cost!
