Go online and search for brand and model number service manual. There are probably multiple things it could be, but the troubleshooting section should point you in the rite way.
I am having this same issue. I have to unplug and replug back in every wash. Very annoying. Especially because I am short and can't reach the plug without a step stool.
You will need to replace the control panel. The button is pressed in the down position and won't allow you to do anything else till this part is replaced.
I have the same problem but my interior drum light stays on whether door is open or closed; in either case the control panel becomes in-operable after about five minutes. I unplug the machine for 5 to 20 minutes then plug it back in and it is powered "on" the moment I plug it in (i don't even have to push the power button). Then the light remains on but i am able to operate the control panel so i can do a load of clothes. Then if the machine sits idle for no more than five minutes, the control panel becomes in-operable again and the interior drum light stays on.
I have an LG washer slightly different model but had the same problem. It washed the clothes but then the light would stay on but the washer would not turn back on. Remove door switch unplug wire that conects and check the connections. which requiered taking off the top and front of the washer. Mine were corroded after only 2 years. We cleaned the connection and it seems to be working fine again.
Solution. Unplug the machine. Hold the power button for 10 seconds. Plug back in. Push the power button and the washer should turn on. Walk away leaving the machine on. When I did this, I came back to find the drum light off and machine would start on command now. Good luck.
I had the same problem. LG addressed the problems as follows:
1. Unplug the unit
2. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
3. Plug the unit back in.
It WORKS!! It's like reseting your computer or alarm clock. You've got to kill the power and press and hold the on button while it's still unplugged.
Hope this works for you.
