WT5170HV
LG WT5170HV WaveForce Top Loader Service
Most common issues on this model
- Wash motion and agitation
- Lid switch
- Inlet valves
- Drain pump
- Control board response
The WT5170HV is an older LG top load washer with a 4.7 cubic foot tub, WaveForce, ColdWash and SmartDiagnosis. The WT5170HW is listed as a variant.
This number is close in features to the WT5070, but we never assume parts match across numbers. We start with the lid switch and the drain, then the fill valves, and the wash motion once those pass. A control that behaves oddly gets a board check before we replace anything.
We read the label for the model and serial before ordering. A written price comes first, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
We also check the hoses and the cabinet level, because a tilted washer is a quiet cause of many spin complaints.
Key features
- 4.7 cu. ft. ultra large capacity

Can WT5070 parts be used on this washer?
We do not assume it. Similar features do not guarantee the same part, so we read your label and match the number before we order anything for this washer.
My washer stops mid-cycle. Why?
A lid switch that drops out, a slow drain or an unbalanced load are the usual reasons. We test each one in turn at the machine.
What does the WT5170HW number mean?
The WT5170HW is a variant of this model, typically differing in finish. We confirm which one you own from the label before we order any part.
