AI DD® 2.0 Built-In Intelligence

Built-in intelligence takes out the guesswork

Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles—built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture, soil level, and load size, then automatically select the right wash motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care. With Smart Pairing, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle*, making it the ultimate laundry hack.

What people are saying

FAQ

Q.

Can the door be reversed? 

A.

No, you can not reverse LG front load washer doors. 

Q.

What features are there to prevent mold, mildew and odours?

A.

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.

Q.

How do you clean the detergent dispenser? 

A.

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.

Q.

Do front load washers use more water than top load washers?

A.

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.

Q.

Where is the drain pump filter located? How often should I clean it?

A.

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.

Q.

What is LG 6Motion® DD?

A.

6 Motion® 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. 

Q.

Can you stack front load washers and dryers? Are there additional parts necessary?

A.

Matching LG front load washer and dryers pairs can be stacked allowing you more space in your laundry area.  The appropriate stacking kit is sold separately. Consult the product specifications or an LG Authorized retailer for matching stacking kits necessary to stack washer and dryer. 

Q.

What is ThinQ® and how does that apply to LG front load washers?

A.

The LG ThinQ® application allows you to communicate with the appliance via a smartphone over wifi. The LG ThinQ® app offers control and convenience for smart LG appliances to help you simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. Manage and monitor your washer/dryer remotely, track and download cycles, connect with Google or Amazon Alexa voice assistants, and access smart diagnosis, customer support, and much more.
