Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters

If the washer detects that water is not entering the
dispenser, an error message will show on the display. If
you live in an area with hard water, this may be caused by
clogged inlet filters.
NOTE
y Use extreme care when removing and cleaning the
filters. If the filters cannot be cleaned or are damaged,
do NOT operate the washer without the inlet filters.
Contact LG Customer Service or a qualified LG servicer.
1
Turn off both water taps completely. Unscrew the hot and
cold water lines from the back of the washer.
2
Carefully remove the filters from the water inlets, and
soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale remover. Rinse
thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the filters back into
place and reattach the water lines. Do NOT operate the
washer without the inlet filters.
