My lg intellowasher won't start

Switch is on, but won't turn on. I used it yesterday and nothing out of the ordinary happened, but tried to use it today and nothing.

    Mine does the same thing. I'm sure I read somewhere it's a fault with the circuit board behind the on/off switch. I press on the bottom right of the button and it sometimes turns on. I also unplug the machine for 10 mins then plug it in and that sometimes works. Yesterday I gave it a technical tap and that worked. There's a child-lock on mine and I press those 2 buttons and they work fine. It's just the on/off button. Very dicey.

    Mine has the same problem. I'm sure I read somewhere that it needs a new circuit board for the on/off switch. My workarounds are: 1) press the bottom right of the on/off switch. 2) unplug the machine for 10 mins then plug back in 3) give it a technical tap. 4) Press the button repeatedly until it turns on (if it takes more than 30 presses this won't work this time). I've been babying my machine along for 2 years with these "solutions". I can turn on the child-lock (just to prove power is getting to the circuit-board and I'm not going mental) it's just the on/off switch that's the problem.

Here's a fix that worked for me today! I couldn't make it turn on for over 24 hours. As a last-ditch effort I put my hairdryer on hot and aimed it at the on/off button. I waited 20 seconds and it turned on! (took about 20 presses of the button). In my mind the heat from the hairdryer is expanding the circuit board so that the things that aren't connecting can connect. Hope this helps!

Hi, Has all the water gone out of the machine? Try it on another spin cycle if it opens then the drain filter or pump could be blocked.

Check the pressure switch and hose. Pressure switch is what turns the pump on and off. Trouble is usually in the hose so check it first. Look for the hose to be unattached or clogged.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa.

LG Intellowasher (Model WD-1023C)

The water pump can be blocked and thus stop the machine from finishing the wash cycle. In front on the bottom there is as hatch that can be opened with a flat screwdriver, the small black rubber pipe can be used to first drain all the water before the opening the filter. Small objects such as coins coluld be found in here, blocking the pump. Clean the pump by removing these, optionally blowing into the outlet (yuck!), to dislodge anything. If that does not help to fix the problem, you can clean that actual water pump, but this requires you to use a screwdriver to remove the pump.

Tilt the machine on its side, the pump is attached with 3 self-tapping screws. (if you can't figure out what the pump is you should probably let a technician do this). The pump has 2 parts to it, take it apart carefully and clean out all the dirt that has accumulated in there. Plastic friendly, waterproof grease can be applied to the pump spindle and bearing if available.

If the problem still persists a new pump is available from LG at a reasonable cost.
