LG steamwasher WM2487HRMA doesn't turn on

Hello:
I have a LG steam washer WM2487HRMA. It worked great for a year, but recently, it seems that it has trouble turning on. If I go and unplug it and plug it back in, it will turn on, and I can do a wash, but then back to the same problem again. Has anyone seen this, or have any advice with it? Thank you.

The fuse is located in a black cover.  You need to gently pull the front panel out of the way and look to the right of the unit, in the area under where the panel was.  There, you will see a black wire running into a black cylindrical case that has a black wire running out of the other end.  Heed the warning on the label, please, and make sure that the power is unplugged form the wall.  Gently pry open the casing and you will see the fuse within.  The ends of the wires just pull off (gently) and then you have the fuse.
Tomorrow I go on a fuse hunt and try this out.

It sounds like a problem with the control board.  You will need to have the unit checked out by a qualified LG technician and possibly replace the board.

SOURCE: My LG washer powers off completely after running

I had the same problem with my LG washer today. I found another post that said to hold down the start pause button 5 seconds, plug back in so you have power, run on drain/spin at highest spin speed. I did it and so far after each load it has not shut down.

I have a LG WM2487HWM front load steaming washer. It has had the regular odor/mildew/mold problem from almost the first month. Recently the machine has struggled with draining all the water. Now it leaves...

Leave the door open for 24 hrs after wash for Odor problem. You need to clean the rubber gasket around the door with 1:4 Bleach/Water (It's Fun!...Not!) First though. Not draining? You need a New Drain Pump! Go to YouTube and place LG Washer not draining. They have 20 videos on how to repair...Very Easy!

An OE light comes on and the washer won't drain

I had something similar. It turned out that one of the option keys was stuck in an "in" position (did not jump back out after it was pressed) which disabled the functions of all the other keys. The lights in main dial came on but it was not possible to do anything else.

I have a front load LG washing machine. Its two years old and it stopped working today and it is giving a code of TE on the read out. what does this mean? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TE is a Thermistor error.

This can be a shorted Thermistor and or a bad heater element. These items are located at the front bottom of the washer's tub.

If you have a washer with steam function. It could also be the steam generator's thermistor and or a bad heater element. The steam generator is located just behind the dispenser’s housing on the top left side.

I can get you part numbers is you need them.

I have an LG washer that smells like rotten clothes. My clothes come out smelling real bad. I checked inside and noticed that the rubber seal around the door is holding moldy rotton gunk. It's not self...

Run a cup each of baking soda and vineger thru a hot wash. Might have to do this a couple of time if smell really bad.

Take out the unit where the liquid soap, softner, etc goes and clean by hand.

Soak a cloth in vinegar and clean the inside of the rubber around the tub.

And finally DO NOT LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED IF NOT IN USE.

I have a l.g. steam washer screen says error

Unplug it for 10 minutes.  Press and hold SPIN SPEED and SOIL LEVEL buttons WITH POWER OFF.  With both buttons held turn the power on and press START/PAUSE till you hear the drain pump operating.  If it is the brand new one it will be 12 times.  Once all of the water is drained out turn the machine off, then back on and the door should unlock.  If you keep getting an error, you should call for service.  All new machines come with a 1 year parts and labor warranty

Stinky Washer

We had the same problem with our front loader. (after only a year) We ran a load on "sanitary" setting with bleach. After that we leave the door open after EVERY load. That has fixed our problem
