Message error:E5 with Washer LG- WD-10150FB
HI
The dryer timer, located in back of the control panel, controls several things: the drying time of the clothes in the drum, the flow of electricity to the heating element, and the flow of power to the timer motor and the drum motor in the dryer cabinet.
Timers are driven by synchronous motors. Although the contact part of the timer can be cleaned and adjusted on some dryers, this is a job for a professional repair person. Timer motor repairs should also be handled by a professional, but you can replace a faulty timer yourself. Here's how to test and replace a dryer timer:
Step 1: To access the timer, remove the front of the control panel. On some dryers, the timer can be removed without removing the panel. In either case, pull the timer knob off the shaft and slip off the pointer. The pointer is usually keyed to the shaft by two flat surfaces to keep the pointer from slipping when it's turned.
Step 2: Test the timer with a VOM set to the RX1 scale. Turn the timer to the NORMAL DRY setting and disconnect one of the timer power leads. Some timers may have several wires connected to them: The power leads are usually larger than the other wires, and this size difference can be spotted under close examination. Clip one probe of the meter to each timer terminal. If the meter reads zero, the timer is working. If the needle jumps to a high reading, the timer is faulty and should be replaced. Replace the timer with a new one of the same size and type.
Step 3: To replace the timer, have a helper hold the new timer close to the old one, especially if there are several wires to be changed. Disconnect the old wires one at a time, connecting each corresponding new wire as you work, to make sure the connections are properly made. Or, draw a diagram detailing the proper connections. After all the wires are connected, check the connections again for accuracy........PLEASE RATE IT
Trom Front Load Washer
I have never heard of cooking oil but I have heard of vinegar. If you have had your washer for a while (over a year) it could take several times of cleaning to get rid of the odor. Also be aware that liquid softner actually builds up worse inside the tub then the soap does so only use 1 tablespoon of softner. If you run the washer with nothing in it and you see lots of bubbles in the water you still have the build up inside the tub. The last item I've heard of is something called "whirlout" (not sure on the spellng) that you can get from a hot tub dealer.
LG TROM STEAM WASHER-WM2487 HRM
You are probably using too much soap and softner. You only need about 1 Tablespoon of each for a full load with a front load machine. Run it with nothing it in except bleach. If you see bubbles inside that means there's left over soap in the tub. Keep running it empty (with bleach) until you don't see bubbles anymore then start using less soap and softner.
Lg wd-14123rd Dryer Problem!
The problem is in the heater assembly. You will need to get a volt/ohm meter and find out where the problem is in the heater assembly.
Door not closed
open the top of machine, 3 screws in top rear ,
start machine.
lift up on one of the the center black plastic connectors plugged into the control unit.
if that lets it continue then the relays need resoldered to the board.
LE error is shown
The LE error code means that the motor sensor has failed on your unit. It's a small sensor that is attached to the motor in the back of your washer. You will need to order that motor sensor part from LG. To replace the part, you will need a 17mm socket and a 10mm socket. Remove the back panel of the washer. You will see the motor behind the panel. Take your 17mm socket and remove the center bolt. Now pull the rotor assembly & put if off to side. This rotor assembly is magnetized so don't let any dirt or steel parts get in contact with it. Now take your 10mm socket and remove the 6 bolts that hold the stator assembly to it. Pull the stator out and turn it around. You will see 2 connectors to it. The 5 wire connector is your motor sensor. Remove the connector and pop off the motor sensor from the stator. Replace it with the new one and reverse the installation procedure. Everything should work fine.
Kenmore Electric Dryer
If this is a Kenmore, have you checked the thermal cut-out or high-limit thermstat? Does the drum turn when you start the dryer?
If the drum turns, but does not heat, you will need to check the thermal cut-out (located on the heating element housing). The TCO should read a SHORT (0 ohms) or very low resistance. If it is OPEN, replace it along with the high-limit thermostat. In most cases the two components are sold as a set and are recommended to replaced as a set by the manufacturer.
Reason: The TCO is designed to protect the heating element and thermostat in the event of an overtemp condition. If the TCO is bad, there's a likely chance that the thermostat could be damaged.
If the TCO reads good, you may have a thermostat that is failing. The high limit thermostat operates normally in the CLOSED (shorted) position and will OPEN at or around 157 degrees F. It is located on the heating element housing adjacent to the TCO. If the thermostat has failed the dryer will tumble, but will not heat. Follow the same recommendation as for replacement of the TCO. Replace both components as a set.
Now...if the dryer drum does not spin, the likely cause is the thermal FUSE. It will be mounted on the blower housing near the blower fan. It is usually white (plastic) in color on Kenmore models. It should read a SHORT. If it fails the dryer will not spin or heat.
Post back with your comments or questions. I hope I'm leading you in the right direction.
Dryer won't heat
Jess, the model number comes up as a Crosley electric dryer. Start first at the terminal block where the cord attaches. Should read 120V from each end to center and 240V across the two outer. If this is ok, check the thermal cut out, this will be the top limit switch on the heater housing. Should read closed. Ohm out the element itself with the wires off, should show continuity. You should have 240V across the terminals on timed dry. If that checks good, go to the motor harness. One leg of power to the element goes through that switch. Check that all the wires are intact in the harness and reseat it. Check these things first...Catriver...post back.
