Introduction

Use this guide to replace the electrical noise filter in your LG front load washing machine.

This filter protects the washer's circuit boards from power surges and spikes. If your washer doesn't power on, this can be a common culprit.

This guide will work for most LG front load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
