Hi - This Kenmore (by LG) washer worked great and is well maintained. Today it ran a load and then when we tried to run a second load and it was completely dead.A/C power was fine. Based on what I read online I opened it, disconnected the output of the line filter (first place A/C power goes inside) and tested the output of the line filter with a Multitester. It looked good. So I re-connected the connector, and even though it was unplugged, the water pump ran briefly, so I plugged it back into A/C and it came back to life.
My theory is that the electronics needed to be power-cycled, but the line-filter was maintaining a low-voltage, so disconnecting the line filter output from the washer reset the electronics.
Am I done? Should I replace the line filter? Any/all thoughts welcome - thanks!
