LG WM2277HW won't spin

Long story that I’ll try to summarize. My wife was doing laundry after I went to bed. Got up in morning to find a note that said that there were clothes and water in washer, she couldn’t get it to do anything (found out later it also had a dE error).

After trying a few things (trying to start a new cycle, unplugging it for 10-20 minutes, emptying the drain hose and checking the filter, etc.), I tried just the spin & rinse cycle. Machine started and went through the rinse and spin cycles, but made a loud noise (humming or vibration) when it started the spin cycle.

Got the clothes out and ran it through a couple of Quick Cycles and it seemed to work OK, but seemed to make a louder than normal noise when transitioning from the wash to the spin cycle, then again whenever it would initiate a water evacuation (but these weren’t much louder than what I think were normal).

Wife has used it for several loads since then, and all seems to be working ok, but I am wondering if this may be an indicator of a more iminent problem about to occur (like maybe the drain pump).

Any suggestions/recommendations?

(FYI - I replaced the door switch about 2 weeks ago, so I don’t think the dE error is related to that.)

Thanks,
Bruce

Hello Bruce,

Remove the rear cover and make sure the motor bolt (K123 at the [B]diagram[/B]) is not loosened.

Check for any foreign objects stuck between the tub and drum by removing the heater from the tub and checking through that opening.
