There was a problem with this style washer not being compatible with iOS. Has that been remedied?
The issue with the LG 4.5 cu.ft. Ultra Large Capacity w/ On-Door Control Panel & TurboWash®, Model # WM5005HKA not being compatible with iOS was about the LG Smart Laundry & DW app for the SmartDiagnosis™ (v. 3.0) feature that you can download from the iTunes Store for iOS devices. Although the App (Version 2.1.0) is available in the iTunes Store, the issue is that it requires NFC for it to work. Apple added NFC hardware to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to support the Apple Pay mobile payment system in the fall of 2014 . But that was the only thing the iPhone could do with NFC. Apple didn’t open up SDK access to the NFC controller for other developers, so the NFC hardware inside the phone was severely limited to the types of applications it could be used for and it cannot use the other tag technologies that include printed barcodes and QR codes, Bluetooth based tags such as Apple’s iBeacon and BLE, UHF RFID and a handful of other lesser known technologies...IFV

Can this be stacked with a Dryer?
No, due to the drawer for detergent being located on top.

Ours vibrates when on high spin, anything I can do to remedy it? It's located on the second floor laundry room.
We regret the trouble you have experienced with this washing machine. Confirm that this washing machine has been properly leveled, and that the floor is stable to the point that it will not transfer vibration from the machine to the walls. If this does not resolve the matter, then the washer may require service. To make service arrangements, you may either contact our Customer Interactive Center at 800-243-0000, or you can check our Repair Provider Lookup on our website, at http://www.lg.com/us/support/repair/support-repair-provider-lookup.jsp.

My washer doesn't want to turn on sometimes. I've unplugged it many times, and i have the right amount of 'volts' it requires. Is there anyway to reset the washing machine?
We regret the trouble you have experienced with this washing machine. The only “reset” available for this machine would be to unplug it for about 45 seconds, and then reconnect it to the outlet. If this does not resolve the matter, then the unit will likely require service. To make service arrangements, you may either contact our Customer Interactive Center at 800-243-0000, or you can check our Repair Provider Lookup on our website, at http://www.lg.com/us/support/repair/support-repair-provider-lookup.jsp.
