[LG Front load washing machine button] The power/start button does not work very well

Troubleshooting

The power, operation button does not work very well.
I can’t get the machine to turn on.
I can’t get the machine to operate.

For a touch-controlled model, the [Power] and [Start] buttons are designed to operate after being pressed for one second.

➔ Due to how touch buttons operate, it is possible that buttons are recognized after just a slight touch.

To prevent this inconvenience, the [Power] and [Start] buttons are designed to operate only after being pressed for 1 second.
This function is to prevent customers from unintentionally operating buttons through only brief touches.

➔ When turning the power on, lightly press the power button; hold it for 1 second to turn the power off.

After selecting a laundry cycle, press the start button for 1 second to begin washing.
To stop the laundry cycle to change option settings, lightly press the start/pause button to stop the operation.

  • Power On: Instant power on
  • Power Off: Press for 1 second
  • Start: Press for 1 second
  • Pause: Instant pause
Press the power and motion/pause buttons simultaneously for 1 second
