Disassembly Procedures

Step-by-step instructions for accessing internal components.

Door Panel Removal: Remove screws from inner door panel, disconnect wiring harnesses
Control Panel Access: Remove top panel screws, tilt forward carefully
Lower Access Panel: Remove kick plate, disconnect drain hose if necessary
Tub Access: Remove lower spray arm, filter assembly
Pump Removal: Disconnect hoses, electrical connections, mounting bolts

WARNING! Label all wires and take photos during disassembly for proper reassembly.

Electrical System

Electrical components and testing procedures.

Component	Resistance Values	Voltage Test Points
Heating Element	15-30 ohms	120V AC during heat cycle
Inlet Valve	200-500 ohms	120V AC when filling
Drain Pump	10-30 ohms	120V AC during drain
Circulation Pump	5-20 ohms	120V AC during wash
Door Switch	0 ohms (closed)	Continuity when door closed

Water System

Water flow path and component testing.

Inlet System: Check water pressure (20-120 psi), inspect inlet valve screen
Spray System: Verify spray arm rotation, clean nozzles
Drain System: Check drain hose for kinks, test drain pump operation
Filter System: Clean coarse and fine filters regularly

Tip: Use multimeter to test water valve solenoid continuity.

Control Panel

Touch panel and main control board diagnostics.

Touch Panel Test: Check for consistent response across all buttons

Display Test: Verify all segments illuminate properly

Main Board: Inspect for burnt components, test voltage regulators

Wiring Harness: Check for pinched wires, loose connections

CAUTION! Static electricity can damage control boards. Use anti-static precautions.

Pump and Motor Assembly

Circulation and drain pump service procedures.

Circulation Pump Removal: Drain unit, remove lower access panel, disconnect hoses and wiring

Drain Pump Replacement: Remove mounting bolts, disconnect electrical connector

Motor Testing: Check windings for shorts or opens, test capacitor if present

Impeller Inspection: Check for damage or obstruction

Testing Procedures

Step-by-step diagnostic tests for common issues.

Test Procedure Expected Result

Water Fill Test Start cycle, observe water entry Water fills to proper level in 2-4 minutes

Drain Test Initiate drain cycle Water completely drains in 1-3 minutes

Heating Test Monitor temperature during cycle Water heats to 120-140°F

Spray Test Observe spray arm rotation All spray arms rotate freely

Door Seal Test Check for leaks during cycle No water leakage around door

Reassembly Guidelines

Proper reassembly ensures optimal performance and safety.

Clean all sealing surfaces before reassembly

Replace all gaskets and seals with genuine LG parts

Torque fasteners to specified values (typically 15-25 in-lbs)

Verify all electrical connections are secure

Test unit thoroughly before returning to customer

Final Check: Run complete cycle to verify proper operation and no leaks.
