LG Washer Error Code 2145

Error code 2145 means the timer is not advancing because it is not sending output voltage to the motor. The washer cannot progress through its wash cycle as a result. Diagnosis involves confirming 127V input at the timer and then checking whether the timer produces output voltage. If input is present but output is absent, the timer needs to be replaced.

The washer will not complete a cycle when this error is active, so normal use is not possible until the fault is resolved. Do not attempt to bypass the timer or force the machine to run. If the power cord or wiring harness is damaged, continued use could present an electrical hazard and the appliance should remain unplugged until the issue is corrected.

Repair costs vary depending on the faulty component. A replacement electromechanical timer typically costs between $30 and $90 for the part alone. A power cord replacement generally runs $15 to $40. If professional labor is included, total repair costs can range from $100 to $250 depending on your location and the technician's rates. Reseating a loose connector costs nothing if you do it yourself.

A knowledgeable DIYer with a multimeter can perform the voltage checks at the timer to determine whether the issue is the power cord, the wiring harness, or the timer itself. Checking for loose or corroded connector pins requires no special tools and should be done first. Replacing the timer is a straightforward part swap if you are comfortable working with appliance wiring, but if you are unsure about working with line voltage, a qualified technician is the safer choice.

A reset will not resolve error code 2145 because the fault is caused by a hardware failure, specifically a lack of output voltage from the timer to the motor. The error will return as soon as the washer attempts to run a cycle. The underlying cause, whether a bad timer, damaged harness, or faulty power cord, must be diagnosed and repaired to clear the error permanently.
