Washing Machine Repair

LG washing machine repair at home

Front loaders, top loaders and washer-dryers. Whether it won't drain, won't spin or is walking across the floor on the spin cycle, a technician comes to you, finds the fault and tells you the price before starting.

We're an independent repair company, not LG Electronics or an LG-authorised centre. If your washing machine is still under LG's manufacturer warranty, contact LG first.

Problems we fix

What usually goes wrong

These are the faults we see most on LG washing machines, and what's normally behind them.

01

Won't drain

Water left in the drum, often with an OE code. Usually a blocked drain filter or a failed drain pump. Sometimes the hose is kinked behind the machine.

02

Won't spin, or spins weakly

Clothes come out soaking. Can be an unbalanced load, a drain problem the machine is protecting you from, or a worn motor sensor.

03

Loud grinding on spin

A rumble that gets louder as the drum speeds up is the classic sign of worn drum bearings. Better caught early, before the seal fails too.

04

Banging and shaking

The machine moves or thumps hard. Worn shock absorbers, a broken suspension spring, or transit bolts that were never removed after delivery.

05

Door won't lock or open

A dE code, or the door stays locked after the cycle. The door lock is one of the most common parts we replace.

06

Leaking underneath

Could be the door seal, a split hose, the detergent drawer or the pump housing. We find where it's coming from before replacing anything.

Three checks worth doing first

None of these need tools. If they sort it out, great. If not, you've ruled out the simple stuff and we can get to the real fault faster.

  • Check the drain filterBottom front, behind a small flap. Lay a towel and tray down first. Coins, hair clips and buttons collect here.
  • Level the machineIf it rocks when you push the corners, adjust the feet. An unlevel machine bangs and throws UE codes.
  • Clean the inlet meshTurn off the tap, unscrew the hose at the back of the machine, and rinse the small filter inside. UAE water leaves sand and scale in it.
Repair or replace?

We'll tell you if it's not worth fixing

Not every repair makes sense. This is roughly how we think about it, but the age of your washing machine and the price of the part always come into it.

Usually worth repairing

  • Drain pump, door lock or inlet valve
  • Door seal torn or mouldy
  • Shock absorbers or suspension springs
  • Machine under around 7 or 8 years old

Often not worth it

  • Drum cracked or spider arm corroded
  • Bearings gone on a very old, cheap machine
  • Main board failed on an older model where the part costs close to a new machine

Questions

Common questions

Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp.

How long does a washing machine repair take?

Most drain pump, door lock and valve repairs are done in one visit. Bearings take longer because the machine has to be taken apart.

Why does my washer smell?

Usually standing water in the pump area or mould in the door seal. Run a hot drum-clean cycle with the door left open afterwards. If the smell stays, the drain may be partly blocked.

Can you move my machine to get to it?

Yes. Just let us know if it's built into a cabinet or stacked with a dryer, so we come prepared.

Is your LG washing machine playing up?

Send the model number and a photo or video of the problem on WhatsApp, or just call. We cover Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman.
