Possible Causes

Blown household fuse or tripped breaker, Faulty power outlet, Damaged power cord, Failed main control board or noise filter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not open electrical panels unless you are qualified. Unplug the washer before internal checks.

  • Verify outlet: Plug a lamp or other appliance into the same outlet to confirm power. Reset any tripped breakers.
  • Check power cord: Inspect the LG washer's cord for cuts, burns, or loose plug blades.
  • Test different outlet: If possible, temporarily plug the washer into a known-good outlet (no extension cords).
  • Inspect noise filter: Remove top panel and check the line filter board for burnt components or loose connections.
  • Control board: If power is present at the filter but the control panel remains dark, the main PCB or user interface board may be failed and require replacement.
