I noticed also that mine if I keep pressing the button like different parts most times it turns on. Try that as well.

I would be in favor of that! Mine (WT7300CV) is 3 1/2 years old but not used a lot ( 2 retired people who travel often). Very frustrating. I can get it to turn on by doing the hacks but how long before even that doesn't work!

Same situation here. I just got off the phone with Costco appliance. I am out of warranty and they can do nothing for me.

Someone on this thread mentioned using your palm to turn on the power. After trying 20 different techniques, I gave it a skeptical shot and wow..THIS trick actually works. Please try this before you drive yourself crazy troubleshooting with more complex methods.

Thank you!!!! It worked!!!

Thank you for the video. My washer is 2 1/2 yrs old, model WT7305CW. Was having the same issues and for a while could unplug and plug back in and it worked... but then that stoped working. Took it apart and found out the problem was the front panel was not connecting to the control board. Put some aluminum foil on front panel, where the start button and pause button connected to the control board and it fixed the problem. Now it works perfectly!!! Cost $0. Hope this helps someone

Thank you for your post…

Here’s a fix, I found another channel that worked . Unplug the machine hold down the power button for about 10 seconds, hold down the start button for about 10 seconds, plug it back in and try again that work for me I was amazed .

I just wanted to add this update on my washer. I called LG and demanded they pay for the repair on my. 2. 1/2 year old washer. They sent out a technician and low and behold there is a recall on the mother board on these washers. I encourage all of you to contact LG and ask for a supervisor. That's what I did. They put in for a special consideration to fix my washer free and I got an email that they would fix it, FREE. The tech was here today and told us that there is a recall on the mother board and he'll be back when the part comes in... CALL LG!! make them make it right.

Thank goodness for people posting issues and the resolution!! I unplugged my washer for about 30 minutes then pressed kinda firmly with palm and the power turned on and it’s working. Hoping it continues to work like this until I save up for a new washer and not a LG this time!

New update. If you place your whole palm on the button it works. It has worked for me every time.

Hi! if I just need to rinse and spin the laundry, is there such a function?

Thank you it worked for me

It's the coating on the inside of the panel. Take it apart and slide a single layer of aluminum foil between the plastic and the flat panel (between where you press and the switch that looks like a spring). That little trick fixed mine.

How did you get to behind the button? Have same washer and mine just won't turn on even with the reset power. It just clicks and nothing else.

Interesting about the sparking. I’m having the same problem, I checked the outlet with another device and I got a small spark so the outlet works. When I plugged washer back in, nothing.

A permanent solution will be replacing a little sponge that is In between that turn on bottom and the board in the back , I had fixed one before but doing that it wasn’t the turn on bottom was the star- pause bottom .

I’m having this exact t same issue, my model number is the wt7400cw. Less than two years old and won’t turn on out of nowhere. They are telling me the same thing I’ll need to come out of pocket for a technician. This is the second lg appliance I’ve had go bad within 2 years and no warranty. Terrible

Mine did the same thing, it ended up being the Touch screen electrical tape behind the panel pulled mine completely apart and fixed it repairman said it was going to be a $700 motherboard

I have same problem. LG no help.

I also saw a couple videos about a different model, since my daughter has a front loader, and on that video they pushed/held the power on for 5 seconds and then the start for 5 seconds so I thought what the heck I’ll try it on this model (I have one like yours) and it sparked when plugging in and works!!

My power is being unresponsive. I'm going to try this. Thanks!

@antoniorivera1311

It comes and goes. Mine is doing again right now.

I had the same issue with the power button being unresponsive and it looks like it’s either a touchscreen screen defect or a the power button spring that has lost its spring action from all the pressing. I saw the tape fix unfortunately that didn’t work for me but what did work was; I took a pen spring and laid it horizontal on the touch screen to make contact with the control board power button spring and used black tape to hold it in place now this PoS works every time and the wife is a happy camper 😂

Hey. Can I get you my email for a drawing as well? I'm having the exact same issue.

It’s the power button. The button is soft touch like your phone. If you press it eventually the foam backing inside the the panel expands and blocks the actual soft touch feature.

We have the same washer, we haven't had this problem, but ours is extremely loud on the spin. Do you have any solutions for the loud clanking noise?

Can i reset the whole system

I found that you need to swipe your finger across the start button. Do not poke it. Once I did this it works.

There are two things that go wrong on these, the first is the screens, fill up with debris from the water intake, take off hises and pull out screens, and clean them. Second is the spongy buttons behind the control panel. There is a youtube video on fixing these. I just swap them around for ones i dont use.

You should check the level. Usually installation is done incorrectly. That causes you to push harder and the foam behind gets squished. It’s an installation issue. We had the same problem. Sears did wrong installation without leveling it. Many repair guys don’t know. They say to replace the expensive parts, which last 10 yrs. It’s the foam. Find someone who is specialized in LG Samsung machines. You can’t call the average car repair sho guy for a Tesla. All they say is to replace the whole electric board.

Figures that the warranty is very limited.

LG scam the warranty manufacturer bummer

Sad, I bought LG because of the ratings and reviews. They let me down as my washer did the same thing after only 2 years of use. I guess they don’t build things like they used to. 😢

Sometimes opening and closing lid for many times can fix problem also

I tried that and it didn’t work. I changed the motherboard

I have the same issue. Seems like a ton of people have this issue. It is clearly a product issue.

My did the same thing, when I remove mother board and press button it works

It never stops rinsing!!! Even fill up in the spin cycle!

I have this exact same machine. They told me that LG mother boards suck and have bad chips since covid. :) dang china chips

Hi, I have same problem. I found that they use Pizo-electric start switch. What that means is the Pizo-electric tape is wrapp around the 1/2" x 3/" foam. This foam gives up its elasticity and when you touch or push the button it does not make contact. Now, you said, bu unplugging for 24 hours it started, the reason is that the foam took it shape back and made the contact. It has nothing to do with board or the electricity. It is a bad engineering from LG which they should use different kind of switch., not foam activated. Hope you understand this. Tell everyone about this.There is no majic in this. it is a bad engineering. Don Patel
