LG WKE100 maintenance schedule and special situations.
Maintenance schedule
| Item | Interval | Owner action |
|---|---|---|
| Care after wash | After the cycle is finished | Wipe the washer door and inside the door seal, dry the cabinet, and leave the door open so the drum can dry. |
| Tub Clean | monthly | Run Tub Clean with the drum empty to remove residue and prevent odor. |
| Remove mineral buildup | Periodically | In hard-water areas, remove mineral scale from internal washer components using the manual's approved method. |
| Clean detergent dispenser drawer | once or twice a month | Remove the drawer and inserts, rinse away detergent residue, clean the recess, dry, and reinstall. |
| Clean door seal | once a month | Use the diluted cleaning solution specified in the manual, wipe all around the gasket, dry it, and leave the door open. |
| Replace water inlet hoses | every five years | Inspect the hoses for cracks, leaks, and wear; replace both hoses at the printed interval. |
| Clean drain pump filter | Periodically | Drain residual water, remove foreign material from the pump filter and opening, and reinstall the filter securely. |
| Clean dryer lint filter | after every cycle | Remove the filter, roll or vacuum off lint, wash it if heavily soiled, dry completely, and reinstall. |
| Check vent ductwork | once per month | Inspect the exhaust duct for lint buildup and airflow restrictions. |
| Clean vent ductwork | at least once per year | Have the exhaust duct cleaned so lint and obstructions do not restrict airflow. |
| Inspect vent after reduced airflow | immediately | If airflow or drying performance drops, check the duct for an obstruction and contact qualified service if needed. |
Special situations
| Item | Interval | Owner action |
|---|---|---|
| Tub Clean odor remedy | once a week for three consecutive weeks | If mildew or a musty smell is already present, run the empty Tub Clean remedy sequence printed by LG. |
| Clean water inlet filters | If fill performance drops, an IE error appears, or hard-water debris blocks the screens, remove, descale, rinse, and reinstall the inlet filters. |
