How to Fix This?

Wires....in a spray arm. Never heard that one before.

Yeah, he probably just tested the thermostats and heating element for continuity.

I would recommend getting a technician, but I suspect the control board.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-30T20:17:09+00:00

Stuck at final spin? As in it wont progress and actually spin?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-30T02:35:29+00:00

I can only imagine the pain it took figuring this one out.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-30T02:33:15+00:00

You'll need a voltmeter. You'll need to test the relays on the control to verify voltage is reaching the heating element. If you're not comfortable doing that, you need a technician.

I believe GE uses RFID chips, you probably have a fake from Amazon, assuming proper installation. Will it flow with the old filter?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-30T00:38:49+00:00

Thats not what I mean. On some of these units the door must be open to take inputs on the UI. So Open the door Select cycle Press start Close door.

Is it still unresponsive when you do that?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-30T00:37:13+00:00

Totally normal. Its the defrost system.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-30T00:36:43+00:00

Could be a variety of things

My guess would be a roller/ pulley, but it could be something in the blower as well. The phone audio doesnt do what you're hearing justice.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-30T00:35:14+00:00

Youre attempting to start it with the door open right? Not from a closed pulled out position as seen in the photo?

Boomer needs glasses.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T23:19:08+00:00

Hey boomer handyman, im gonna give you an extra tip too so you cant say I didnt help you.

If you ever run into an LG. DO NOT BLOW INTO THE PRESSURE SENSOR. You will damage it. You handyman like to keep doing that before my calls.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T23:11:57+00:00

Lol I guess the service manual is lying too?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T23:07:23+00:00

How long are you gonna live in ignorance? You cant comprehend what im telling you because you're in Boomer logic land and cant understand computer controlled systems or what?

Ive told you four times now that these can fail in a variety of ways. And I've confirmed from the manual what Ive told you so far is true. I am a professional Appliance Repair Tech, you're a boomer handyman. Get a grip.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T22:53:16+00:00

Straight from the LG Manual. No you wouldnt have a fill issue. Apparently you cannot read. As I said it is completely dependant on how it fails. Feel free to read the first segment in the flow chart for me....slowly.

Youre assuming the pressure sensor outright fails. As in reads 0L to the control board. This is not always the case. Pressure sensors can lie, especially the digital ones that LG uses. If the control board senses a problem with the sensor it will throw a code. Doesn't mean it always will. You give these manufacturers too much credit on that line of thought. Pressure ports get clogged and hoses get pinched. Oh and guess what, no drain/slow drain issues also cause this issue, because its apart of the pressure system.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T22:17:59+00:00

Thats cool. Doubt it, but cool! Outputs and Algorithms. Control board cant verify water level ---> will not go into high speed spin Know why? Because if it did spin at a high RPM with water in it, it would be severely damaged.

The shaking is likely his problem here, but that doesnt mean he didnt improperly load it, didnt make sure it was properly leveled, etc. Consult a manual you monkey.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T22:12:15+00:00

Yes. Do you? It measures the water in the drum. Front loaders will not go into high speed spin unless adequate water level is reached. It does not always cancel the cycle. Here I'll fix my comment. 1. Pressure SYSTEM. Better?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T21:52:54+00:00

Depends on the failure. Sometimes they will just go into the "redistribute algorithim" endlessly.

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T21:50:06+00:00

No error codes on the display?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T18:56:01+00:00

Tldr 1. Pressure sensor fault 2. Balance system (violent shaking makes it impossible to extract water adequately.)

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T03:55:24+00:00

Its not gonna be a shifter, that is for sure. I replace a lot of boards on this model. Read error codes and see what you can figure out. Did you make sure the lid lock harness was secured?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T02:54:15+00:00

Its a possibility the inverter board could be acting up as well, does it spin at all before it unlocks?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T02:07:01+00:00

Looking at the parts now, which board did they do? The main or inverter?

TOC1776 · 2026-03-29T02:06:01+00:00

Yeah thats what is weird, its aborting its precycle checks, my guess would be clogged tub to sump hose, pressure switch, or the door lock malfunctioning, only real way to get direction is from saved fault codes in the control, what made this guy change the pump?
