LG Front-Load Washer Won't Power On in East Lake Woodlands, Palm Harbor: A Control Board Fix
- Symptom
- Washer wouldn't power on; a relay clicked on and off repeatedly.
- Cause
- Failed control board — a known weak spot on this LG design.
- Fix
- Replaced the control board the same day with a part from a local supplier.
An LG front-load washer in the East Lake Woodlands neighborhood of Palm Harbor wouldn’t power on at all. Listening in, a relay inside was clicking on and off in a repeating pattern — never actually starting the machine.
A familiar failure point
This LG front-load design has a track record of electronics problems, and the control board is usually the first place to look. That relay chatter fit the pattern exactly — the board diagnosed as the cause.
Fixed the same day
I didn’t have the board on hand, but our local parts supplier did, so I picked it up and had the washer back up and running the same day.
If your LG washer won’t power on or you’re hearing a relay clicking with nothing happening, the control board is one of the first things worth checking. See our washer repair page for what else we typically look at.
