hi and thanks for your reply, the motor does work cause the washer will go through the whole wash cycle then when it gets to spin it just goes slow and back and forth like its trying to adjust the load then after about 15 of spinning real slow it will stop with an error message of ue witch means unbalanced....so, we are getting someone from busen to come out and look next week, i hope they can come up with something,,,thanks for your reply..Flo.

Subject: Re: [DIY] Front Loading Washer question
I just did some searches on troubleshooting for LG washers. The unit comes with what are called transit bolts. It might depend of your model but the ones I saw were on the back of the washer. They form a square around the drum, there should be 4 of them. They should have been removed, if they are still there then that could be the problem but if they are still there, the washer shouldn't have ever worked to begin with. There should be yellow caps on the holes where the transit bolts were if they were removed. I have a Kenmore front load washer and had to remove the transit bolts in it too. They stop the drum from bouncing around when the washer is being moved and are supposed to be removed before use.
Many motors use a capacitor to start. If there is a start capacitor for the motor, it could have failed. Not knowing your exact models, I couldn't tell if that is something possible or not. Not all motors use start capacitors but the motor not starting is a symptom of a bad start capacitor. When a start capacitor fails, giving the motor a push start will result in the motor starting up.
Just some ideas,
Steve

We bought front loaders LG in 2004 and now both washer and dryer do not spin right,,,The washer keeps going off balance it will spin and spin but not up to full speed to get the water out of the clothes it just keeps trying to adjust itself till it stops with an error of an uneven load
and the dryer makes a real load sound until you give it a spin with your hand and then turn it on again
together they cost 2000 arent they supposed to last longer than 8 years?
any suggestions on how to fix? My husband cannot figure out these kind
of washers, the dryer at least still works bypass the noise part.Any suggestions would be great, thanks,,,,Flo
