No Window Display Error Codes [top load washer]

Some newer LG washing machines have returned to a more basic simplistic unobtrusive look and feel design just by removing that large window display from the control panel.
That being said, some minor innovative adjustments needed to be introduced so not to lose the washing machine's operational functionalities.

Note:
The washer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage.
If the washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before calling for repair service dispatch.

Extra Rinse LED Blinks

Unbalance Error

The load is too small

  • Add additional items to allow the washer to balance the load.

Heavy articles are mixed with lighter items

  • Always try to wash articles of somewhat similar weight.
    This allows the washer to evenly distribute the weight of the load for spinning.
  • The load is out of balance - Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled,
    preventing the automatic rebalancing from working properly.

Inlet Error

Water supply faucets are not fully open

  • Make sure that the water faucets are fully open.

  • Make sure that the hoses are not kinked, pinched or crushed behind or under the washer.

  • Clean the inlet filters.

Water supply pressure to faucet or house is too low.

  • Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is adequate and flow is not restricted.
  • Disconnect the water inlet hoses from the washer and run a few gallons of water through the hoses to flush out any dirt.
  • If flow is too low, contact a plumber to have the water supply lines repaired.
