Your LG washer lid may need removal for repairs.
Although washing machines are built for reliability, eventually you're bound to have a problem with yours. To access most of the parts inside most front-loading washing machines, you will have to remove the machines' top panel. This is true of an LG-brand front-loader. Almost every repair, from taking off the control panel to replacing belts, starts with this step. Luckily, LG makes the removal of the top one of the easiest tasks possible. Always follow the proper steps of removal to prevent breaking any of the tabs that hold the lid in place. Broken tabs may cause the lid to rattle during use.
