[LG front load washing machine noises] A humming noise is heard during draining.

Troubleshooting

This noise is generated when the drain pump operates to drain water, and it is normal.
If a foreign object is in the drain filter, an unusually severe and loud noise may be heard.

If an unusually loud noise is heard, check if a foreign object is in the drain filter and, if so, clean the drain filter.

Warning!

When cleaning the drain filter, a lot of water may spill onto the floor.
Caution should be taken if it is a hardwood floor.

If it is okay to spill water onto the floor

1. When you open the cover at the bottom left front, you will see a large cap and the residual water hose.
(For some models, the service cover is located on the right.)

2. Turn the large cap to the left to remove it, and then remove any residual water and foreign objects. You do not need to touch the residual water hose.

3. Clean the filter and reassemble it.

If water should not flow onto the floor

1. When you open the cover at the bottom left front, you will see a large cap and the residual water hose. (For some models, the service cover is located on the right.)

2. Prepare a mop or a washbowl to keep the floor as dry as possible.

3. Hold and pull the residual water hose forward to open the cap.
Allow any residual water to flow into the washbowl.

Warning!

With the cap open, hold the hose so as not to drop it.

4. When no more water comes out, close the cap and put the hose back in place.

5. Turn the large cap next to it to the left to disassemble it, and then clean it.
After cleaning, reassemble it.
