No sound on LG washing machine

No sound on LG washing machineAlmost all washing machines are equipped with a function to turn off or turn on the basic sound signal for the end of the wash. Also, some washing machines can turn off or turn on the sound signal on their own, but the user can, if desired, cancel this action. The problem is that there is no special button on the control panel for this, so if the sound on the LG washing machine has disappeared, you need to resort to a little trick to get it back.

LG washing machines 10-15 years ago

Old washing machines were made to perfection: they are durable, unpretentious, easy to operate, and their sound signal is very characteristic, loud and persistent. Sometimes the notorious melody can get boring, but few people know that with the help of a certain trick you can easily turn the sound signal on and off whenever you want.

  • Turn on the washing machine and select absolutely any washing program.
  • In parallel with pressing the “Start” key, also hold down the “Temperature” and “Rinse” buttons and hold all three keys for several seconds.press the start temperature and rinse buttons

To check if the combination worked, stop the washing machine, restart it and start washing again. At the end of the wash, the sound signal will appear or disappear depending on what you wanted to achieve and what happened before.

All washing machines from LG, released 10-15 years ago, listen to this combination without interruption. You can safely use it if the washer does not make sounds, and do not even doubt its effectiveness. But what to do when it comes to LG washing machines released at a later date.

Looking for the “magic” button

There are a number of washing machines in which turning on or off the sound signal is thought out very well. The action is performed by pressing just one single key. Moreover, this can be done absolutely at any time, regardless of whether your washing machine is currently running or is turned off. List of models where sound on/off works exactly like this:LG F1096SD

  • F(E/M) series 1096SD, 1296SD, 1096ND, 1296ND, 10B8SD, 80(10/12)B8MD, 80(10/12)B8ND, 10B9SD, 12B9SD, 80B9LD, 10B9LD and 12B9LD with numbers 1-9;
  • M1222ND with numbers 1-9;
  • F1096(1296)WD with numbers 1-9.

Now it remains to find out which button on all these washing machines turns off or turns on the sound signal? This is the Timer Mode key. Press it and hold it for about 3-5 seconds, the result will not be long in coming.

Combination in new washing machines

LG units of later years are not subject to this method. The electronic module contains a different algorithm for connecting or muting the sound of the washing machine. In addition to the “Timer” key, you also need to press “No folds” and hold for exactly 3 seconds. Otherwise, nothing will work. Models of LG washing machines that this method is suitable for:

  • series F(E/M) 1096SD, 1296SD, 80B8ND, 10B8ND, 12B8ND, 1096ND, 1296ND, 10B9SD, 12B9SD, 10B8SD, 80B9LD, 10B9LD, 12B9LD, 80B8MD, 10B8MD, 12B8MD with numbers from 1 up to 9;
  • M1222ND with numbers from 1 to 9;
  • F series 1096WD, 1296WD with numbers from 1 to 9.

Attention! Finding out the series, name and number of your specific washing machine is very simple. This information is written on the first pages or even on the title page of the instructions. If the user manual is not saved, you can find the corresponding mark on the body of the washing machine.

If the sound signal stops working, the most difficult thing is to find out the full name of your model. Once you're done with that, the rest is simple. Pressing 1, 2 or 3 keys and holding for a few minutes is not at all difficult.
