 LG -- Check if the board is outputting proper voltage to the pump wires, whatever that voltage may be. The pump can be pulled and test-run directly on a cheater cord if it's 120v. Estate -- needs further observation/exam to determine the problem. The agitator/transmission will be locked if the motor stops during agitation, it releases when the motor reverses for drain and spin. Ordinarily sounds like a bad lid switch but it worked on your testing. Maybe an erratic lid switch? Later direct-drives had the lid switch in the motor circuit at all times, they fill with the lid open but nothing else. Citing the model numbers helps with diagnostic assistance. | ||

That 2015 LG should still use a simple 120V AC pump, so testing it outside the machine is possible. But just grabbing a multi meter and checking for voltage across the 2 pins is easier. It can happen that a PCB goes bad if a pump fails, but it's not that common. | ||

Haha, I tried to tell her not to buy one.. whatever, I’m sure many of you have people ask for your recommendations and then turn around to get one of the worst products out there. | ||

oh man.... a new LG would have been miles better than that.... bet the current one is easily repairable too, could be as simple as something stuck in the pump :/ | ||

That Samsung will be lucky to last a few years before it breaks and when it does you’ll be up crap creek since replacement parts are tricky to find and often times parts are usually NLA by then to force you into buying a new machine that will only last a few years as well. People who usually want a new one are “because I felt like it” or “just want a new one” are your typical careless consumers and will start whining when their new appliance breaks..
Consumers assume as they consume and assume as they consume.. | ||
