Intermittent stop-start filling on LG direct drive washing machine appears normal

The problem

An LG direct drive (Inverter) washing machine, about two years old, stops and starts filling several times before then filling continuously to the correct level. The behaviour has been present since new.

Likely cause

The accepted reply says this is unlikely to be a fault because it has behaved the same way since new. The stop-start filling was described as normal operation, with the machine filling for several seconds while also energising the pump to flush through before starting properly. A poor connection on the water valve was mentioned only as a possible cause if repeated stopping developed as a fault, but this was not supported here.

What fixed it

No repair was recommended. The accepted advice was that the behaviour is normal and not likely to indicate a fault in this case.

Checks to try

• Machine fills to the correct amount
• Behaviour has been present since new
• No change in operation over approximately two years
