Front loader machine stuck before spin cycle

I have an LG front loader that gets stuck right befor the spin cycle. It washes and drains, then the timer stops counting down and won't spin. It just makes normal sounds as it would before the spin but then doesn't advance from there. ie the "quick 30" wash takes 36 mins, it works fine until 13 mins where it makes normal wash noises but doesn't go any further than that and makes the same noise like its mid wash. The rinse and spin takes 22 mins but it gets down to 9 mins and stops in the same way. The first time it happened I saw it had 13 mins and was making normal sounds so I left it and came back 15 mins later to see its still at 13 mins. Is this a timer problem? Or something else? I don't want to get someone out to fix it and end up paying close to a new machine to fix.

    the timer advances slowly. if the wash cycle is set for 55 min,the actual cycle time is 1/2hour more.

This is an issue with the pressure switch, it is having issues detecting the water level.

Hello,

Check the drain hose where it goes into the wall, make sure it's only 6 to 10 inches in the standpipe. I have seen this issue countless times.

The door on LG front loader washing machine won’t unlock

hi Margaret.
If the washing machine malfunctions or you need to stop the cycle and retrieve the clothing, you can force the door to unlock.
  • Open the door after the "Door Lock" indicator turns off. ...
  • Press the "On/Off" button, if the washer is not already on.
  • Select the "Spin Speed" button to turn on the Drain & Speed cycle.
  • or go to this link and have a read up.

I have an lg tromm front load washer. I am getting the IE fault. I have cleaned the inlet screens and drain filter. It gets stuck at the 13 min mark, seems like it just won't go to spin cycle.

LE code mean suds have built up. Using non he (High Efficiency) detergent or too much detergent will cause this error most front loaders use he detergent only there is a he swirl on the container
Let your washer sit idle or 45 minutes.Unplg washer as well
Plug in and turn on as left spin speed select no spin press Start/pause to start a drain only cycle. When cycle is complete remove load. Start a rinse•spin cycle to clean out residue.
If the sud were too much you may have to repeat

My front loader washer gets stuck on its last spin and wont drain properly. I am trying to wash a comforter and blanket. This is the 1st time its happened. Thank you

You may to mention the brand and model of machine. Mine is an Lg, I just shut off machine. Turn it back on and then press the no spin and start, this drains the washer. You may have too much clothes in the machine.

My frigidaire fron loader will not spin during wash cycle but will spin when placed on spin

If the drain pump is working correctly and you can get it to spin manually, then the board is faulty. Had the exact same problem with an Lg front loader 40 min. ago.(have to replace the board.)

Stopped working mid cycle. The timer still counts down but does not fill, agitate, spin, drain. And before it stopped, the water that was draining out smelled really bad.

The filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and stuff. You have to remove the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws underneath. The panel will drop and come off. Drain off the excess water from the hose you see. The white filter cover is right in front. Get yourself a bunch of towels or a good big plastic bag to collect water. Unscrew the filter cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the stuff and put it back in carefully.

Next: You can use Affresh to clean your front loader. Deposits of soap and other such things can be stuck around the inside tub of your washer. Try this product, it works great on all front loaders. Use quite hot water with the Affresh pellet with no clothes and run the machine through a cycle. Also helps with any stagnant water smells. Have you cleaned out your pump lately. Put the pellet inside the machine, not in the soap dispenser.
Pl give me a good rating for the free help, thanks.

LG Intellowasher cannot complete spin cycle.

Unplug power cable, remove top cover and inner panel, locate water level sensor on the right with 3 wires and a thin tube, remove the tube and puff into it until you hear water bubbling. This will clear any blockage caused by suds build up. Replace tube, covers and plug back in. It should complete cycles now.
