Power button stays depressed and does not start power menu. power is on, drum light is lit.

You will need to replace the control panel. The button is pressed in the down position and won't allow you to do anything else till this part is replaced.

Door is closed and the light stays on. after a while non of the buttons will work any suggestions.

I have the same problem but my interior drum light stays on whether door is open or closed; in either case the control panel becomes in-operable after about five minutes. I unplug the machine for 5 to 20 minutes then plug it back in and it is powered "on" the moment I plug it in (i don't even have to push the power button). Then the light remains on but i am able to operate the control panel so i can do a load of clothes. Then if the machine sits idle for no more than five minutes, the control panel becomes in-operable again and the interior drum light stays on.

Any one have a clue???

My wm2487hwma lg washer wont come on, drum light is on, but everthing else is out , no power. Unplugged washer and reset at fuse box, power came on, but same problem occurred.

I have an LG washer slightly different model but had the same problem. It washed the clothes but then the light would stay on but the washer would not turn back on. Remove door switch unplug wire that conects and check the connections. which requiered taking off the top and front of the washer. Mine were corroded after only 2 years. We cleaned the connection and it seems to be working fine again.

Lg washing machine drum light stays on and wont let me turn the

Solution. Unplug the machine. Hold the power button for 10 seconds. Plug back in. Push the power button and the washer should turn on. Walk away leaving the machine on. When I did this, I came back to find the drum light off and machine would start on command now. Good luck.

Drum light stays on and wont let me start it again. Its dead but has light.. I have to power down the entire house to get it to start again

I had the same problem. LG addressed the problems as follows:
1. Unplug the unit 2. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. 3. Plug the unit back in.
It WORKS!! It's like reseting your computer or alarm clock. You've got to kill the power and press and hold the on button while it's still unplugged.
Hope this works for you.
