The main reason for the breakdown of the heating element of the LG washing machine is hard water, which causes scale to form on the heating element. Due to scale, the spiral constantly overheats and eventually burns out. To eliminate the possibility of the heating element burning out, you need to follow the operating rules and add anti-scale powder with each wash cycle. Heating elements also break due to defects; voltage drops in the electrical network and standard wear and tear. Regardless of the cause of the breakdown, our service technicians will eliminate the malfunction in a short time.

When is it necessary to replace the heating element in an LG washing machine?

The heating element (tubular electric heater) is an important element of the LG washing machine, responsible for heating the water. Replacing the heating element in the LG washing machine may be required in the following cases:

The main signs of a drain pump failure, according to LG service center technicians, are:

The water does not heat up to the required temperature. If the laundry remains cold after washing, this is the first sign of a faulty heater.

Errors related to heating appear on the display. Modern models of LG washing machines are equipped with a self-diagnostic system that can indicate a problem with the heating element.

The machine runs longer than usual and does not complete the washing cycle. This may be due to the fact that the water does not heat up to the required temperature, and the washing program cannot move to the next stage.

Extraneous noises or smells appear during operation. Sometimes a damaged heating element can cause electrical failures, which leads to extraneous noises or a burning smell.

If you notice any of these problems, do not delay repair. Contact our service center for diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Preparing for repairs

Before starting the replacement of the heating element, our technician carefully prepares for the work. Preparation includes the following stages:

• Disconnecting the equipment from the power grid and water supply is an important step to ensure safe operation.
• Draining residual water from the tank to avoid leaks. This is usually done through an emergency drain or by tilting the machine.
• Removing the rear or front panel to access the heating element. Depending on the LG washing machine model, the heating element may be located in the front or rear.

Preparation allows the technician to work safely and efficiently, preventing possible damage to equipment and providing access to the necessary components.

Stages of replacing the heating element of the LG washing machine

Problem diagnosis. The technician will perform diagnostics to ensure that the problem is indeed related to the heating element. Special equipment is used to check the functionality of the heating element. This may include measuring the resistance and checking for breakdown.

Dismantling a faulty heating element. The technician carefully removes the old heater, inspecting it for visible damage, scale or corrosion. If a significant amount of scale is found on the heater, this may be the reason for its failure.

Installing a new heating element. A new heating element with suitable parameters is selected and installed. All connections are carefully checked to avoid leaks and ensure correct operation. Installation is performed in the reverse order compared to dismantling, with special attention to the correct connection of electrical contacts and sealing elements.

Machine assembly. After installing the new heating element, the technician assembles the machine, returning all panels to their place. It is checked that all parts are installed correctly and there are no gaps or incorrectly secured elements.

Performance check. The technician runs a test wash to ensure that the new heater is working properly and that there are no leaks. Testing includes checking all the washing modes that are used, water heating, and also checking the machine for any extraneous sounds or vibrations.
