The good news is that this issue is usually temporary, and you can easily fix it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide explains why your LG washer button won\u2019t work and how to troubleshoot it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LG_Washing_Machine_Start_Button_Not_Working\"><\/span>LG Washing Machine Start Button Not Working<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how to fix your LG washing machine whose start button is unresponsive: First, disable the Child Lock. If this does not work, then reset your LG washer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry. I will explain the above solutions in detail. However, before you proceed, here are some words of caution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fdf7f7\">If your LG washer is under warranty, I recommend contacting LG support and asking for advice. Unfortunately, opening your LG washer will void its warranty in most cases, so leave it as a last option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_Child_Lock\"><\/span>Disable Child Lock<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest LG washing machines have a child lock, a safety feature. When the child lock is activated, it prevents the accidental start of the wash cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the child lock is engaged on your LG washer, it will be displayed on its display with a child lock icon flashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To disable Child Lock, press and hold the Child Lock button for a few seconds until its icon stops flashing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reset_your_Washing_Machine\"><\/span>Reset your Washing Machine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Resetting your LG washer will restore factory settings, which can fix many annoying and random errors, such as a non-responsive start button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, try resetting your LG washer. If this does not help, move on to the next method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Faulty_Control_Board\"><\/span>Faulty Control Board<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As its name suggests, the control board is the brain of electronic washers. If the control board of your LG washing malfunctions, it will not even receive power. Thus none of its buttons will work, including the start button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The control board is inside the washing machine, so you must disconnect your LG washer from the power source before accessing it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your LG washer is under warranty, do not attempt to inspect or replace the control board yourself, as it will void its warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your LG washing machine start button is unresponsive, try the following solutions to fix it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Disable the child lock <\/li><li>Reset your washing machine <\/li><li>Check the washer control board<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have issues with your LG washing machine, contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lg.com\/us\/support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LG customer support<\/a> or call them at <strong>1-850-999-4934 or 800-243-0000.<\/strong> They are available Monday to Sunday, 8AM to 9PM (EST).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[50],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>LG Washing Machine Start Button Not Working?
