Is your LG washer beeping, but doesn’t display an error code? With no other signs of a problem? Thankfully, the fact that there is no error code is a good sign that the issue is minor.
Your LG washer beeping (but not showing an error code) is a sign of a minor issue, and nothing to be overly concerned about. Common causes include issues with the water intake or drainage system. It could also be that the laundry load is too large or the lid isn’t closed securely.
In the sections below, I’ll go into more detail about these minor issues that can cause your washing machine to beep while it still runs fine and shows no error code. I’ll explain a few fixes you can try yourself to get the beeping to stop.
1. Issues With Water Intake
One of the reasons your washing machine may be beeping at you during the cycle but showing no error code is that the washer either isn’t getting enough water or is having trouble draining the water inside it.
How To Fix?
These issues can be caused by simple wear and build-up of sediment and other deposits in the hoses that bring water into the washer or the drainage hose. If you live in an area with hard water, the drainage hose could have a mineral deposit build-up.
This is easy to diagnose yourself if you follow these steps:
- Turn off the water supply to your washing machine, unscrew the hoses, and detach them by turning them counterclockwise. You may need a pair of pliers for this, or you may be able to do it with your hands.
- Once the hoses are off, clean them by running hot water through them. Remember, these are the hoses that bring water into your washing machine, so you should not use any abrasive cleaning products to clean these. If you need to clean them, use baking soda and white vinegar, or dish soap.
- Check if the hose is impeded in some way by looking through it. If you can’t see all the way through when the hose is straightened out, it has a significant blockage and will need to be replaced.
These Sharkk Industrial Premium Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hoses available on Amazon are made of stainless steel and are six feet (1.8 m) long. Washing machine hoses are universal, so there is no need to worry about sizes. These hoses are very affordable and come with a 10-year warranty.
Replacing the hoses is just as simple as cleaning them, and the process is much the same. Remove the old hoses and attach the new ones to hook the hot and cold water to the correct locations.
If the beeping persists after cleaning or replacing the intake hoses, your issue could be one of those mentioned below.

2. Drainage System Issues
Suppose you notice that your washer is beeping later in the cycle, just before the final spin cycle, or you see your clothes coming out of the washing machine increasingly wetter. In that case, you may have a water drainage issue.

While this may seem like a huge issue, it can be caused by something as simple as your drainage hose being clogged up with hair or dirt, etc. This is especially true if you’re using the washing machine to clean a lot of dirt and mud out of clothes, or you have pets.
Continuously using the washer to clean dirt or mud from clothes will cause sediment build-up in the drainage system. Using your washer to clean your pet’s bedding can also cause this issue.
This dirt has to go somewhere, and it usually ends up caked in your drainage hose, impeding the draining process in your washing machine.
How To Fix?
It is straightforward to check the integrity of your drainage hose:
- Detach one end from the washing machine and pull the curved end out of the drainage hole. You won’t need any tools for this.
- Examine the hose and check if water will flow through it. Clean it with hot water and some gentle cleaning products. If cleaning is not improving the flow or removing any blockages, you need to replace the drainage hose.
- Consult your washing machine’s user manual to find details of the correct hose to use, or you buy a universal one.
This Dokaworld Drainage Universal Washing Machine Drain Hose from Amazon is an excellent option. It is ten feet (3 m) long, and offers plenty of room if your drainage hole location is not close to your washing machine.
If you have gone as far as to replace your drainage hose completely and are still having issues with your washing machine beeping because it is retaining water, then it may be time to seek the help of a professional.
You may have an issue with the plumbing in your home, which can cause the washing machine to drain inefficiently. Alternatively, there could be something in the washing machine itself that is preventing it from draining water, both of which need to be handled by a professional.

3. The Load of Laundry Is Too Large
One simple reason your washing machine will beep but keep going and show no error code is that it is trying to tell you the load of laundry inside it is too large. In this case, it could compromise the integrity of the washing machine’s internal parts.
If you overload a washing machine (especially if it’s a newer model), it will likely beep at you. Washing machines have this feature because overloading can severely damage critical internal components.
When you overload your washing machine, it adds some extra weight to the drum, and clothes get a lot heavier when they are soaked in water. This extra weight can cause faults in the washer internally and lead to damage that will leave the washing machine inoperable. NEVER wash a weighted blanket in a standard washing machine.
How To Fix? (LG washer Beeping)
The simple way to avoid this issue is to read the manual that came with your washing machine or check under the inside of the lid to see what amount of clothes the washer can handle. If you can’t find any of this info, consult LG’s website, search for your washer model, and check its maximum capacity.
If you adjust the volume of clothes you’re putting into the washing machine, and it is still beeping even after only putting in a small load of laundry, there is likely something else causing your washing machine to beep.

4. The Lid Is Not Closed Securely
It is rare for an LG washer tol beep and not show an error code if the door or lid comes loose. This issue always stops the cycle, and most LG washing machines will show an error code for this kind of fault.

How To Fix?
Ensuring that the door or lid is secured is an incredibly simple fix that could solve your issue, so when you hear the washing machine beep, check the lid.
If the lid is still locked and secured, something else is probably causing the beeping. However, if the cycle stops after the beep and the door or lid comes open when pulled, that is the source of your beeping.
A washing machine lid that will not stay closed is dangerous (the reason it is beeping and stopping the cycle) and should be examined and repaired by a professional.
