WM3170CW
LG WM3170CW Washer with NeveRust Drum Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Control panel and Dial-A-Cycle response
- Door boot, glass and latch
- Drain pump filter and hose
- Spin noise from the stainless drum and bearing
- Pedestal or SideKick connection if one is paired
The WM3170CW is an older LG front load washer with a 4.3 cubic foot NeveRust stainless steel drum, a direct drive motor, and an upfront control panel with dual LED display and Dial-A-Cycle. It is SideKick compatible.
When a washer like this will not start, we begin with the door latch and the control response, then fill and drain. Dial-A-Cycle controls can feel loose or skip positions, so we test the selector as well as the display. If a SideKick sits beside it, we check that its hoses and drain do not interfere with the main machine.
Exact model and serial come off the label before we place an order. You approve a written price first, and our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
What is a NeveRust drum?
It is a stainless steel drum. In service, we look at the drum for damage and check the bearing and seals behind it when there is noise or a leak.
The cycle dial does not respond. What do you check?
We test the selector, the display and the board response. Control trouble can look like a dead washer, so we also confirm the latch and power before ordering a board.
Does SideKick compatibility affect repair?
Only if one is installed. We check that the pedestal washer's connections are separate and that clearance is correct, since cramped hoses can cause leaks that look like the main washer's.
