Describe your LG washing machine problem
- Not draining or spinning
- Water leaks
- Door or seal problems
- No power or error codes
These symptoms help describe the problem; they do not identify a failed component. The complete model reference and fitting type are needed before parts or visit suitability can be assessed.
Brand-specific fault guidance · Appliance repair questions
IE and OE describe different water problems
LG's UK guidance links IE with insufficient incoming water and OE with drainage trouble. Tell us which message appeared, whether the drum filled and whether water remains visible. Mention a recent interruption to the water supply or change to the sink waste. Neither message identifies a failed valve or pump on its own. You do not need to move the washer, disconnect hoses or open a water-filled filter before making an enquiry.
A wet load is not always the same as a blocked drain
If the drum emptied but the laundry stayed wet, include the selected programme, spin setting and type of load. LG instructions for applicable models describe UE in connection with imbalance and an interrupted spin. That is different from a machine still containing water. Report severe movement, repeated knocking or a change since installation separately; do not keep restarting a violently moving machine to obtain more observations.
Identify the actual washer before discussing parts
LG's UK support finder asks for the full model, not just a product family. Use the label only if it is safely accessible, or copy the reference from the manual, receipt or registration record. Include any suffix and serial number available. A programme message or a ThinQ notification can accompany that information, but it does not establish which component needs replacing. Tell us about previous repairs and the machine's approximate age so the assessment has the right context.
Repair or replace the washer: what to compare
Before deciding, give the approximate age if known, the full model and any previous repair history. Separate a recent installation problem from a machine that previously worked normally. A repair decision needs the diagnosed fault and parts quote, not just an online error-code description. If you consider replacement, record freestanding or integrated fitting, any furniture door and a stacked dryer. Send existing paperwork or measurements already available; do not withdraw the washer. Compare the proposed repair with the total replacement and fitting cost, not the advertised appliance price alone.
Ashford in Surrey: keep the installed address clear
This guide groups Ashford in Surrey with Staines-upon-Thames and Sunbury-on-Thames. It does not cover a visit in Ashford, Kent by name alone. Select the actual town for the appliance, provide the full postcode and distinguish the visit address from a billing contact's address.
Prepare the exact model and fitting details
Complete LG model reference, suffix if shown, and safely available serial number. Exact IE, OE, UE or other message and the stage when it appeared. Water still inside or only wet laundry, with programme and spin selection. New movement, leaks, recent plumbing work and stacked or restricted access. Use only accessible labels or paperwork. Leave heavy appliances and covers in place; similar brand ownership does not prove parts compatibility.
Prepare the model and fault details
Have the model number ready, and tell us if the machine is integrated or stacked. Leave safe access to the front and water connection.

Use an accessible label or appliance paperwork. Leave fitted units, heavy appliances and electrical covers in place. If you cannot reach the label safely, tell the office. Include any displayed message exactly as shown and describe what happened before the fault, without running repeated tests.
Access to the appliance at your address
Give the house or flat number, full postcode and the best contact for the visit. Mention stairs, lift or concierge arrangements, controlled parking and any restrictions on reaching the appliance. Tell us whether it is fitted behind a kitchen door, stacked or in a narrow cupboard.
For a tenant's domestic appliance, identify who can authorise the work and who will provide access. The office checks these arrangements before agreeing an appointment.

If you are considering a replacement
If you want a replacement washer fitted, provide the proposed model and existing connection and stacking arrangement. Installation, removal and any plumbing changes need their own suitability check rather than being assumed part of a repair.

Washing machine repair questions
Does an OE message mean an LG drain pump must be replaced?
No. It points towards drainage trouble, not a confirmed parts diagnosis. Include the model, remaining water and any recent waste-connection work so the appropriate assessment can be discussed.
Can you assess a Direct Drive washer without a displayed error?
Yes. Describe the change during an ordinary cycle: filling, drum movement, emptying or spinning. No extra test is required for the enquiry. Keep a leaking or electrically tripping machine unused and explain the safety concern.
What details help with a LG washing machine repair enquiry?
Report whether the machine fills, drains, turns the drum or stops before spinning. Include when the problem occurs and any code exactly as shown. Do not force a locked door or dismantle the pump.
How much is a UKCDA LG repair visit?
For Samsung and LG, fixed call-out charges start from £90 outside Central London and from £120 for a Central London service address. Parts are priced separately. The applicable amount depends on the appliance, complete model and fitting type, including freestanding or integrated. Our office confirms the address and fixed charge by phone before arranging the visit. These starting amounts are not an all-inclusive repair price. The agreed charge covers the first visit, repair labour and any return visit needed to fit parts for the same agreed repair. There is no extra labour or repeat call-out charge for that repair. Parts are priced separately and approved before fitting. A different fault, another appliance, installation, removal or alterations require a separately agreed scope and quote.
Can I request LG repairs for my London, Surrey, DA or RM address?
Choose your actual area in the directory below. The repair enquiry retains the area, brand and appliance. Send the full postcode, complete model reference, symptoms and access details; the office confirms model suitability, charges and appointment availability. Submitting the enquiry does not reserve a visit or take payment.
How do I choose the service address for this guide?
This guide concerns Ashford (Surrey), Staines-upon-Thames and Sunbury-on-Thames. Use the actual property address and full postcode, including when another person arranges or pays for the work. The office confirms appliance suitability, charges and availability; an enquiry does not reserve attendance.
Charges, scope and confirming a visit
We review the model, address and work required, explain applicable charges and confirm availability before agreeing a visit. Sending an enquiry does not take payment, reserve an appointment or guarantee a completed repair. Parts availability and the appliance's condition affect the options; further parts or work are discussed before you decide.
UKCDA is an independent repair business. Brand names identify appliances and do not imply manufacturer approval. If a manufacturer guarantee or service plan may cover the appliance, check its arrangements before requesting a chargeable visit.
