LG WASHER CUTS OUT
Hi
I have a LG washing machine F1443kds which keeps cutting out on power
its error code is PF (power failure)
it takes a few mins after switching off before it comes back on
but it doesn't blow a fuse or trip a breaker
its a direct drive with smart diagnosis I let it talk to the phone via the app but just says power failure
It started cutting out during different points of the wash cycle
now I have narrowed it down to the fact it is just cutting out after about 5 mins even if I just turn on the power
all the graphics and sounds work fine all the programs work fine
I am now thinking the pcb ? But not sure
thanks for any help

Have you tried it in a different wall socket first just in case?

Will do

It's not too common but you can get main pcb failing.Another possibility could be a fault on the mains suppressor or capacitor but again it's not something I would advise looking at. Let us know if you get an engineer out what it is.

look like that's what's got to happen
the washer is like new and it has a good capacity 11kg
have you heard of this problem before?
Thanks
It could be a fault in the pcb but not guaranteed so it would be too risky to try fitting one. If it's a poor connection somewhere you risk it burning out or even catching fire if left plugged in. I would get an engineer in.

An update
I switched the power on to the Washing machine it took 4 minutes to power off
then after about a minute I can switch it on again
timed it again and it was just over 2 mins
so it seem that if the machine is cold it stays on longer
does it sound like a faulty component on the pcb?
thanks
Yes I have tried about four different sockets but still the same
thanks
