The WT7300CW manual selects Spin Only by holding Spin for 3 seconds; Rinse+Spin is a separate Special Care selection. First verify which function was actually selected. Refilling can also be associated with rebalancing, so water entry alone does not prove an inlet-valve fault.
Models covered
LG WT7300CW top-load washer with the matching Spin and Special Care panel. Do not use a front-load drain-filter hatch procedure on this top-load washer.
Wait for motion to stop and the door or lid to unlock. Water may be hot. Isolate power and follow the exact manual before any user filter maintenance. Never open a filter against a full drum, force a lock or bypass an interlock.
Compare the behavior
Match the documented control, cycle or feature before interpreting the result. The comparison below keeps normal model behavior separate from an unresolved fault.
| Observed state | Interpretation / next step |
|---|---|
| Rinse+Spin selected | Water entry is not a Spin Only comparison. |
| Spin held 3 seconds | Matched manual’s Spin Only selection. |
| Retry with UE/Ub | Record imbalance behavior and load, not a guessed valve fault. |
Model-specific checks
Read the actual function
Record the selected lights before restarting. A short button press, a Spin Only hold and a Rinse+Spin selection are not interchangeable gestures.
Match the Spin Only instruction
The model manual uses a 3-second Spin hold. Rinse+Spin is selected separately through Special Care, and Extra Rinse is not combined with Spin Only. Confirm your revision before proceeding.
Observe balance behavior safely
If a correctly selected cycle retries or adds water, note the load pattern and any UE/Ub indication. Pause normally and wait for the lid to unlock before touching laundry; do not reach into moving water or a spinning basket.
Escalate persistent unexpected filling
If suitable loads still produce unexplained filling despite correct selection, report the exact function, lights and timing to service. A refill is not a diagnosis of a failed pressure sensor or valve.
Interpret the comparison
This exact control comparison answers a distinct owner task. It should not be split into another WT7300CW spin-only-button page or a generic front-loader not-draining treatment. Water entry during a retry is evidence to interpret with the displayed state, not a universal repair instruction.
When to stop and get help
Only carry out maintenance permitted in your model’s manual. For service, note the full model number and suffix, displayed code, selected cycle and what happened during the checks. Leave internal wiring, gas components, pumps and safety devices to a qualified professional. A symptom alone does not identify a failed part.
