Article Summary

Upgraded Vehicles Kill Cycle Option

For upgraded vehicles (ie. battery powered) AND 2xwasher/2xdryer pods (LP2.0's):
Hold down B6 (start) for approximately 3 seconds until you hear a 'ding' - release button, wait until machine drains and the 'door lock' light turns off before opening the machine.

Old washing machines

Refer to the video below for instructions on how to perform a 'kill cycle' on an older LG Washing Machine. A kill cycle can be used to stop a washer cycle at any time if required.



Kill a wash (no toggle switch)

Below references buttons from top to bottom on the washing machine. Some machines vary with the label assigned to the button, but the cycle process is identical in button order, top to bottom.
● B1 = Button 1 (hot or whites)
● B2 = Button 2 (warm or colours)
● B3 = Button 3 (cold or delicates)
● B4 = Button 4 (delicates or perm press)
● B5 = Button 5 (add super wash)
● B6 = Button 6 (start)

If a friend has left some items in their clothing or needs to add an item, a washing load can be killed manually by following these steps:

  1. Hold down B1 and B3 simultaneously. The screen should display ‘0’
  2. Press B2 until ‘3’ appears onscreen
  3. Press Start (B6). The screen should display ‘L9CI’
  4. Press B2 until ‘hILL’ appears on the screen
  5. Press start (B6)

Note: your machine may be different and require you to use B2 and B3 to navigate to 'hILL'

  1. The screen should display ‘0’
  2. Press B2 until the screen reads ‘17’ (tip: if you go past 17, use B3 to navigate down)
  3. Press start (B6), the machine will now end the cycle
  4. Once the 'door lock' light turns off, flick the switch up to start the next wash

Note: please allow the machine one minute to drain
