If nothing is found, then you need to determine the power of the element. This can be written in the technical register of the AGR. Usually the indicator for LG machines ranges from 1900-1950 watts, but there are also instances with a power of 2 kW.

- Before you change the heating element yourself, you need to check it with a tester. The verification process is described in detail in the article "How to check the washing machine's heater".
- After making sure that the element needs to be changed, proceed to the action. You have already unplugged the heater, which means it's behind the nut holding the heater. The nut is in the center of the shank. Here you will need a head: put it on the nut and unscrew it. Lightly tap the ratchet handle with a bolt - it should fall through.
- Now, taking a thin screwdriver, pick up the heater seal.
- Grasp the contacts and pull with force until you can pull out the heater. Try to get the part neatly, without breaking it into pieces.
