Hi Everyone:
Just today, our trusty LG FL (model WM2101HW) started randomly shutting off during cycles. I think it is approximately 10 years old. After a short wait, you can press the power button again and it will display the "pF" code. You can press start and it will resume where it left off. The dryer is on the same outlet and there have been no issues with power loss on the dryer. (I did check/reset the breaker just in case.) I monitored it for a while and it seems to occur at random when attempting to do multiple activities. (Examples: At the start of a cycle when adding water, pausing the drum for level sense then adding more water; when going into a spin cycle). It does not seem to shut off once the same action is in progress (spin, wash or rinse tumbling after all water has been added). Issue has been seen on different cycles. I am thinking it is likely a control board. Thoughts? I did not see any other postings related to this issue. If it is a board, I am inclined to get a new machine. Unfortunately, considering its age I think that more issues are likely to crop up in the near future. The only other issue I have ever had with this is some rust on the cabinet under the dispenser drawer assembly. (Because of the cabinet design, I don't think I can resolve that without replacing the entire front panel.) I have been very happy with this LG. If I get a new one, I would like one with a heater that activates on multiple cycles. Thoughts on another LG or another brand? (Miele is too small for us.). Thanks for your help. Bob |
