LG WASHER INTERMITTENT START BUTTON NOT WORKING [SOLVED]

LG Washer most annoying issue is the intermittent start button. Basically everything is ready and you press the start button and nothing happens. There is no error message, no error indication, no warning, etc... You are clueless and all you can do is keep pressing the start button.
I have solved this intermittent start button issue, please watch video.
If you have other solution or do not agree with my video, please put your input in the comment.
Thanks for watching.

This video is a lifesaver. Worked on my lg washing machine. Thank you so much

[@turnersaddleryinc.3079]

Tried all of the suggested solutions on youtube, and almost gave up. The last one worked, I turned off the washer, then used a hairdryer to lightly heat the start button for about two minutes and it worked. It was either the severe cold weather we are having causing condensation/moisture to affect the button. After heating with the hairdryer for a few minutes, I turned the washer on, then selected a cycle, then pushed the start button and it worked.

Bro thank youuu so much... that hair dryer technique actually worked!! 👌🏻 🫡💞

[@yaelglor]

Bless you Sir! Its been an ongoing problem and that solved it immediately! (there was an actual shredded sock in that filter.)

[@vishalbyresh2718]

It is really great 👍 I have done it myself now it started working thanku for the solutions I had no money to give for service it is very helpful this video thank u 🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏 once again

[@agneslee892]

Very useful tips. It’s working! Thank you so much for your video!

[@CardinalWater]

I just watched your video and it worked completely. It’s exactly what the issue was. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@alzahrakuttymon]

Very good information because I am a technician in Jeddah

[@RichCastroBJJ]

Been dealing with a finicky button for years. This worked for my LG washer. The filter typically will have a debris like a lead in there. Once I clean it works good again!

[@kadarmech]

Wow, washing machine working Thanks 👍👍👍😊😊😊😊

[@Florinososaiz1584]

Excellent i cleaned up the filter then i tried to empty the machine then i use hair dryer to heat up the start up botton because sometimes there is a moist inside the buttons. Then it really work for me❤

[@ferlyntagalicud93]

Thank you so much for sharing this vedio. It helps a lot.. I follow the instruction. Job well done 😊👍

[@ckye736]

My two cents: We leveled ours and it is working at the lightest touch like new. Installation was done incorrectly. Before you call someone do the ThinQ as we did. It helps to diagnose problems. You for sure know it’s not the expensive parts, which the people who looked at it wanted to replace.

[@portiamketi5274]

Victory at last !!! Thank you so much for this comment, I feel like crying after watching and trying so many solutions but it was the comment that saved me at last !!! 😭😭😭

[@ckye736]

I’m so so glad it helped someone. Most of the LG machines in the US have most likely a leveling problem. You can not diagnose a Tesla like 20year old car. Most technicians don’t understand that there is much more than wires to it. Sad to say but maybe the lack of knowledge of some technicians make us pay unnecessary repair fees. The tip I was given: Level your machine 1-2 times a year. Replacing main parts is a ripoff.

[@ashall3322]

What do you mean by leveling the machine

[@petecurtis]

After unplugging, I spray electrical cleaner in the crack of the button, and press it about 10 times to clean it, plug it back in, and it works for a few months before needing another spray.

[@lschade5796]

where exactly do you spray the cleaner, and what cleaner do you use? need advice!

[@petecurtis]

@L Schade I spray CRC QD Electronic Cleaner into the crack of the on button on the washer without taking off the button, but I make sure I unplug the washer first and I wear safety glasses because the spray may go into my eyes.

[@janemwangi477]

Thank you so much. It has worked for me

[@anne-mariemalan4862]

I cannot thank you enough! It's working! Oh, my word🙀!!! Thank you!!!!

I followed your instruction and solved the same problem. Thanks !

[@ashleytaylor8353]

Thank you so much it worked

[@cliveg72]

Did not work for me. Thanks for sharing though. I took off the front panel and I believe their is an open on the board. I will tackle that another day.

[@cyberchicca]

It works. But I also had to use the hairdryer on the button to melt the condense…

[@deliwenzimande5346]

Wow I just did that and there was a plastic inside there, am able to use my washing machine now.thank you

[@Hananehanane-vv6tf]

Thanks from casablanca

[@RemmikRotus]

Hmmm I have been dealing with this for years. I push on the button at different angles pressure and eventually it works. I have known about that filter since day one and always clean at least twice a year but it has never helped with the button. I always figured it was just bad contacts under the switch. I will try to open and close the door and put pressure on the door to see if maybe it’s that. That is more plausible. The filter has no sensors so it can’t tell if it’s clogged. Not to mention that is more of a basket than filter and really can’t get clogged with the large openings. Not discounting that just think that part of the solution is less likely.

[@jismyalphonse]

Thank you so much

[@camillehalona359]

Worked!

[@xingyujiang3003]

thanks！

[@syisely6]

Should the knob to switch between the cycles be hard to turn? Or should it be switching as you turn it

[@tishonaammon5531]

So if I did all of that and the problem continued clean the filter ect what should be my next step

[@adamdumas9132]

This worked for me. Thank you! I was about to order a replacement door switch, but it turned out to be just a clogged filter.

[@delroyallen9316]

Good morning my washer door lock comes on but washer doesn’t start it won’t take in water or spin if i put it to spin how do i spin

[@monicadixon2090]

Hi, my button is loose. How do I get the machine apart to see what is going on?

[@tbirdracefan]

been having this symptom for a couple of years now. Usually I can wiggle the button side to side very quickly and can get it to start. Recently I was beginning to think it would not start so got on KZbin just to see what was involved with changing the switch or getting to it to spray some contact cleaner. My drain hose did not release any water. Tried to blow back into it with no results. Cleaned the filter (never cleaned before) but my problem still exists. Fiddled with the door latch and still no luck. I bought this machine used for a 100 bucks 7 or 8 years ago. Think I will keep my eyes out for another machine.

[@israelolusola3455]

Pls I'm using LG 5 KG when the start button press the intensive light comes up ant the washing machine will not work even no button will work as far the intensive light comes up , pls what will be the problem thanks.

[@sjnurcahya3045]

I have the same exact washer and this error too. The button is sticky sometimes, I think that's what is happening.

[@basil6909]

The problem is due to moisture.

I did that and it still won't start😢

Its the button (Start/Pause) having bad contact due to moister and spillage.

Pretty crazy because I tried alot of other stuff but this worked.

[@blessings3027]

What did you do to get the start/pause button works ??

[@bradcrampton8920]

@@blessings3027 I just followed the directions on the video. Cleaned the filter and rubber drain hose, made sure all the water was out, put everything back, plugged it in and hit the start button. It functioned as normal. This is a good thing to do before you start replacing parts like the start button.

[@blessings3027]

My machine is top washer. Still trying to find where is the filter to help 😅

[@NasirKhan-rn1oq]

No Sense to accept this way of fixing this problem. Its not the reason of play button not to work

Unplug it and plug it in
