WM5005HKA
LG WM5005HKA Steam Loader in 4.5 cu. ft. Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Steam cycle heating and water path
- SmartThinQ connection and control
- TurboWash spray
- Door boot and gasket
- Drain pump and filter
The WM5005HKA is an older LG steam front loader with a 4.5 cubic foot drum, SmartThinQ and TurboWash on a direct drive motor.
Front load washers with steam collect moisture around the door, so the gasket and the drain are the first things we examine. After that we test the latch, the fill, and whether the heater brings the steam cycle up to temperature. Spin vibration leads us to leveling, suspension and the bearing.
Reading the label for the model and serial is our first step before ordering parts. A written price comes before work, and repairs are covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
Where is this washer usually installed?
Models of this type go in laundry rooms and closets, often next to a matching dryer. We check clearance and the drain height as part of the visit.
What do you inspect for a leak at the door?
We check the boot, its seal and any residue, then the drain filter and hoses. Water seen at the door can start further back, so we trace it before replacing a part.
Is a direct drive washer quieter in spin?
There is no belt to squeal, but a rumble still means we check the bearing, the mounting and the load balance, because those cause most spin noise on a front loader.
