I watched this video until the end for curiosity since he was doing a self test on the front loader, and I will tell you it was a very good video, no BS loud music people blend in their videos, good instructions step by step, to the point and effective in delivering the message, I felt I did not waste my time.

Years later…..Your video is a great help! Easy to follow and descriptive. I was able to figure out what was wrong with my LG washer/dryer combo with your video. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

Been bouncing around the internet all night trying to diagnose a problem. Was about to order a new machine altogether. Found your video and am so thrilled. Will be ordering a new drain pump thanks to your wonderful video. Thank you so very much!

Thank you very much for this video-aid! Your instructions helped to clear the dE error and get our washer back to "normal".

I am SO appreciative of this video!!! My machine packed a sad on me and I was panicking!!! This worked!!!! It took me a hot minute to figure which was my "soil" button as it is different but I got there!!! Thankyou. Thankyou!!!!

Absolutely fantastic video presentation and explanation, especially for the meaning of any codes in display screen. I only wish I had come upon this self diagnostic test earlier before spending about $75 dollars on a drain pump and cold water inlet valve. Unfortunately my main power board went.

Thank you so much. I had a tech come out and look at it a few weeks ago and nothing. I came across your video trying to see if I could run the diagnostic they did and it worked! Now I can tell them exactly what's going on.

Thanks to your video, I was able to change my drain pump for $33. There were a few differences, but nothing I could not work through easily. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you very much! Often when there are issues with appliances, I’m stuck wondering where to start. This is a great place to begin.

You just saved us so much money. You are an Angle! We love you! Thank you!

Notes in case some runs into the same problems with the test as I did.
If you washer has water in it and won't drain. The washer will not spin during the spin test. You have to drain it first. Also it's a pretty good indication it's the pump

Thanks for the video. I was able to identify the problem fairly quickly

[THEMAXX]
