[LG washing machine spin] I selected Spin-dry only, but the time increases when it is operated.

Troubleshooting

The time displayed when only the spin cycle is selected indicates includes the time to drain.
When the laundry is stuck on one side during the spin cycle, water is supplied and the unwinding motion operates in order to level the laundry.
When the unwinding motion operates (up to 2 times), the spin time increases (approximately 10 minutes), and when the imbalance is resolved after the operation, the product enters the spin cycle normally.
If the problem recurs continuously, evenly spread the laundry and start the spin cycle.


Since water is supplied in the process, be sure to check that the water supply hose is connected to the washing machine.
If the water supply hose is not connected, water will not be supplied so that an IE error (no water supply error) may occur after a set period of time.

Also, since imbalance may get worse depending on the type of laundry, refer to the solutions for imbalance and washing methods for the laundry types shown below.

Solutions for each type of laundry
  • Laundry nets: It is recommended to use a laundry net suited to the amount and size of each type of laundry, adding laundry to the point of filling only 2/3 of the laundry net.
    When using a laundry net, avoid washing the net separately, and wash at least 2 or 3 laundry nets with different clothing types.
    Incorrect laundry net use may cause damage to the washing machine and laundry or excessive vibration or noise.
  • Duvets: If you wash two or more duvets or wash a duvet together with normal laundry, they may become tangled or stuck on one side due to differences in the materials.
    Wash one duvet at a time using the Bedding course.
  • Normal laundry: If you add excessive amounts of laundry or the laundry becomes tangled, the laundry may become stuck on one side.
    If the laundry becomes stuck on one side, remove some of the laundry, evenly spread the remaining laundry and operate the washing machine again.
  • A small amount of normal laundry: If you add too small an amount of laundry, the laundry may become stuck on one side. Add more laundry, evenly spread the laundry and operate the washing machine again.
  • Puffer jackets: For bulky and light laundry, washing the laundry without it being submerged under water may damage the fabric or cause the laundry to become stuck on one side.
    Wash the laundry after submerging it under water.
  • Knitwear: If small laundry absorbs lots of water, washing only 1 piece can cause the laundry to become stuck on one side.
    Wash two or more knitwear at a time.
  • Laundry balls: Adding excessive laundry balls may cause abnormal vibration and noise
    Add only the number of laundry balls recommended by each laundry ball manufacturer.
Warning!

When washing laundry such as laundry nets and large duvets, etc., which can easily become stuck on one side, noises may often occur.
If a noise is not heard during the spin cycle with an empty tub, the product is operating normally.
