Lg Wm16336 Sticks Mid Cycle

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

LG WM16336 stops mid-cycle under load with no fault code

The problem

LG WM16336 completes cycles when empty but sticks part way through a wash when clothes are inside. It reportedly stops at 38 minutes on a 30°C wash and 14 minutes on a quick 30, and effectively will not spin. No fault codes were reported. The machine had already been switched off and on, and the 'weight thing' had been replaced, but the fault remained.

Likely cause

A load-related fault is indicated, but the exact cause was not identified in the discussion. The accepted reply states it is not a straightforward problem and gives no confirmed component diagnosis.

What fixed it

Use an LG-authorised engineer or dealer for further diagnosis, particularly if the current engineer is not an LG dealer. No confirmed repair was documented in the thread.
