FAQ
Will a top load washer have room for large sized bedding?
LG topload washers range from 4.8 to 6.3 cu.ft depending on model to accomodate a wide variety of laundry demands including bedding. A load should fit loosely enough that you can still place your hand around it once it's in the drum. Avoid over-stuffing the washer.
How long is a wash cycle?
Depending on wash cycle and options chosen, wash times will vary. TurboWash™ can help[ reduce cycle time while still providing similar wash performance.
Do I need special detergent for top load washers?
LG washers are designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents. Refer to owners manual for complete detergent recommendations.
Do top load washers use more water than front load washers?
A top load washer traditionally uses more water compared to front load washers as top-load washers fully submerge your facbrics.
Can the door be reversed?
No, you can not reverse LG front load washer doors.
What features are there to prevent mold, mildew and odours?
Washing machines can be prone to retaining moisture inside so it should be cleaned regularly. It is encouraged to clean the detergent dispensers once a week, and once a month for the door gaskets of the washer. It helps to maintain the inside clean by activating the (Tub Clean) cycle 1-2 times a month. Additionally it is engcouraged to leave the washing machine door open in between cycles to let residual moisture evaporate. LG front oad washers are equipped with a magnetic door holder that keeps the door slightly open to have air circulation in the drum to help prevent mold and odors.
How do you clean the detergent dispenser?
Open the dispenser drawer, then pull it out while pressing the [PUSH] button. Clean dispenser with toothbrush and lukewarm water. Reassemble and reinsert the dispenser drawer.
Do front load washers use more water than top load washers?
Front-load washers use gravity to tumble the laundry, cleaning clothes by lifting and dropping them through the water. The drum only fills partially with water to facilitate this tumbling action. Unlike top-load washers that fully submerge your laundry, front load washers use less water. Front-load washers are designed for energy efficiency, using minimal water for washing and rinsing. They also sense the load size and adjust the water level accordingly.
Where is the drain pump filter located? How often should I clean it?
LG front-load washers are equipped with a drain pump filter that collects lost buttons, loose change, and lint from the wash cycle. It is easily accessed and is located on the bottom front left of the washer behind a small access panel. It is recommended to clean out the drain pump filer on a monthly basis.
What is LG 6Motion® DD?
6Motion® DD technology provides the user with optimized drum motion combinations for every fabric type. LG’s range of washing machines possess 6Motion® technology which has a capacity to replicate 6 different wash motions that utilizes the DirectDrive® motor and can move the drum in multiple directions giving the fabrics additional deep cleaning.
How often should I clean the lint filter?
Always make sure the lint filter a is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged with fabric softener, wash the lint filter in warm, soapy water and allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Always ensure that the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer.
How can I avoid noise and vibration?
The dryer must be installed and levelled on a solidly constructed floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5cms). If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for uneven flooring before use.
Can you reverse a front load dryers door? Do you need additional parts?
Yes. The door can be changed from right swing to left swing to accomodate needs. Please consult installation instructions for details. All necessary parts to complete door reversal are included with appliance.
Can you purchase a matching LG SideKick pedestal washer for this dryer?
No. LG SideKick pedestal washers can only be installed beneath a matching LG front load washer.
