LG washer won't turn on

LG washing machines are designed to make our lives easier by taking care of our laundry needs. However, even the most reliable washing machines can experience issues, such as not turning on. If you're facing this problem, don't worry, our team of experienced professionals in Toronto can help.

Why doesn’t my LG washer turn on?

If your LG washer doesn’t turn on, there can be few reasons behind the problem. Let’s take a quick look at the different reasons on why your LG washer doesn’t turn on.

Power Supply Issues

The first thing to check when your LG washer won't turn on is the power supply. Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet and the washing machine. Also, check if there is power in the outlet by plugging in another appliance or device.

If your LG washer is not turning on, check if the circuit breaker has tripped. A tripped circuit breaker can cause your washer to not turn on, and this is usually caused by power surges or overloading the electrical system.

Faulty Door Switch

A faulty door switch can also cause your LG washer not to turn on. The door switch is designed to prevent the washing machine from operating when the door is open. If the switch is faulty, it can cause the washing machine to think that the door is open, even when it's closed, resulting in no power.

The control board is responsible for powering and controlling your LG washing machine. If the control board is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to turn on the washing machine. The control board can get damaged due to electrical surges or excessive heat, causing it to malfunction.

Defective Thermal Fuse

The thermal fuse is designed to prevent the washing machine from overheating by shutting off the power when the temperature exceeds a safe level. If the thermal fuse is defective, it can prevent the washing machine from turning on.
