How to Drain and Clean the Drain Filter on the LG WM3170CW
Background
LG Electronics was established in 1958 as GoldStar. The company first produced TVs and radios and eventually began to produce home appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. GoldStar produced its first washing machine in 1969.
In the early 2000s, LG introduced the Direct Drive motor, a motor directly attached to the drum, to replace their traditional belt-driven systems.
The most common problem LG washing machine owners experience today is when their LG washer gives a UE code.
