[LG Front load washing machine circuit breaker] The circuit breaker trips during twin washer use.

Troubleshooting

Simultaneous operation of washers and home appliances can use too much electricity at a time, exceeding the rated current capacity due to overloading of the breaker, which can cause the breaker to trip.
When using the twin wash model, if the circuit breaker capacity is below 15A, the breaker could trip when using the products (front load + Mini Washer) simultaneously.
It is recommended to check the capacity of the circuit breaker for home use and replace it with a larger capacity breaker that is 20A or higher.

Is the circuit breaker tripping?

➔ If your home circuit breaker capacity is below 15A, the breaker could trip during simultaneous usage of twin washers.

If the circuit breaker capacity is insufficient, the breaker could trip while using the water heating cycles on both the front load washing machine and the Mini Washer.
Therefore, please avoid using both the main front load washing machine and the Mini Washer for water heating cycles at the same time.

Mini Washer heating cycle
1. Washing cycle : Cotton inner wear[40℃], Light Boiling [90,80℃], Baby Care[60℃]
2. Option cycle : Tub Clean [60℃]

➔ If you are using an extension cord, there is a high chance that the circuit breaker will trip.

Do not connect products that require large capacity such as lightwave ovens, electric skillets, hairdryers, etc.
It is recommended to connect directly to a wall outlet when connecting to power.
Do not use non-grounded outlets/extension cords
When using a defective extension cord, the circuit breaker may trip regardless of the product in use.
