Troubleshooting Washer Dryers, Washing Machines 08/14/2025

<h2 class="tit">Causes and Symptoms</h2>

<li>The washer stops during spin cycle with a screeching noise.</li>

<li>High-pitched (squeal) noise occurs during the spin cycle.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Screeching Noise</h3>
<p>
This noise may occur temporarily when the spin cycle ends due to severe imbalance in laundry.<br/>
The washer uses reverse current in the motor to stop the drum at the end of the spin cycle, which can cause noise if the laundry is unbalanced.
</p>

<h3 class="sub-tit">High-Pitched Squeal</h3>
<p class="info-desc idt">→ A high-pitched squeal may occur as the washing motor rotates the drum.</p>       
<p>
This noise is generated due to the high rotational speed of the washing motor. While it might be bothersome to some, it does not indicate a malfunction.<br/>
If the noise persists for a long time or causes discomfort, professional service inspection is recommended. Try running a spin cycle without laundry and if loud roaring or grinding noises continue, please request a service check (LG Support Center: 1-800-XXX-XXXX).
