Some Other Common Errors on LG Washing Machines

Washing Clothes Are Not Clean

Cause: Laundry is not clean, leaving stains or excess detergent can be caused by one of the following reasons:

  • The amount of detergent is too little or too much.
  • Water temperature is too low.
  • Too much laundry.
  • Wrong washing program.
  • Sort laundry wrong.
  • You have not pre-washed clothes with many stubborn stains before putting them in the machine.

Quần áo giặt không sạch

How to Fix:

  • Use the correct detergent according to the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.
  • Select the water temperature according to the degree of dirt. Use warm and hot water for heavily soiled clothes.
  • Do not wash too many clothes at once.
  • You can separate heavily soiled and lightly soiled clothes to wash separately.
  • Pre-wash by hand is recommended for very dirty laundry before putting it in the machine.

Clothes with Green Stains

Cause: This error will occur if the user pours fabric softener directly into the laundry.

How to Fix:

  • Scrub the stain with bar soap or laundry soap.
  • Do not add too much fabric softener, and do not pour fabric softener directly on the laundry. Instead, pour fabric softener into a separate container next to the detergent compartment.

Clothes with Gray Stains

Cause: If there are gray or black stains on the laundry, it may be because you have put less detergent or it can also be caused by the interaction between the fabric softener and the detergent.

How to Fix:

  • Fabric softener should be added at the same time as detergent and poured into a separate compartment. Read the instruction manual carefully to locate the fabric softener compartment.
  • Use a detergent and fabric softener meter to avoid using too little or too much.

Vết xám hoặc đen trên đồ giặt

Clothes with Yellow or Brown Rust Stains

Cause: This phenomenon can occur due to the presence of Iron or Manganese in the water and pipes.

How to Fix:

  • Use bleach to remove yellow stains from clothes.
  • Install an Iron filter or a water softener that does not cause precipitation in the water supply system. Consult technical staff for advice during installation.

Quần áo dính vết gỉ vàng hoặc nâu

Clothes Are Lint

Reason:

  • Incorrect laundry classification.
  • Paper or thin cloth left in the pocket of clothes.
  • Too much laundry.

How to Fix:

  • Properly sort laundry and remove any remaining items from clothing pockets.
  • Reduce the amount of laundry.
  • Clean the lint filter as it may be too dirty to continue filtering the lint.

Quần áo bị xơ vải

Detergent Left on Clothes

Cause: After completing the wash cycle, if you find that detergent is still on your clothes, it could be due to the following reasons:

  • The amount of detergent is too much.
  • You use washing powder for hand washing, so it does not dissolve well with water and may clump when washing in the washing machine.
  • Weak water leads to not fully rinsing the detergent in the machine.

How to Fix:

  • Do not wash too many clothes at once.
  • Use washing powder or detergent specifically for the machine.
  • Use the correct amount of detergent for the weight of the clothes (see instructions on the detergent packaging).
