Cycles and Options - Top Load Washer (Model WT6105CW)

Some newer LG washing machines have reverted to a more basic, simplistic, low-profile design simply by removing that large display window at the control panel. That said, some innovative minor tweaks had to be introduced in order not to lose the operational functionality of the washing machine.

Note

The washer is equipped with an automatic error monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage.
If the washer does not work properly or does not work at all, check the following points before calling for in-home repair service.

Note Some customers have voiced and reported their concerns about the end-of-cycle chimes (melody) sounding off after each completed wash load. Regrettably, this bare bones basic washing machine was designed with permanent unalterable chimes. Turning the chimes off cannot be done. Should you wish to escalate this issue, please click this link to Contact an LG representative (via chat, e-mail, What’s App, text or phone) to express your grievance.

The illustration below shows the control panel for the washer model number WT6105CW. Place emphasis on the status of the LED indicator lights illuminating on the control panel:

Note These newer washers have a touch control panel that responds to light taps. The display panel is similar to a smart device's touch screen. The only non-electric touch controls are the cycle selector knob, power button, and start/pause button. The rest of the display has white text that corresponds to functions and features. To select a feature, tap the middle of the white text. You will hear a tone and the selection will be highlighted.

Wash cycles are designed for different types of loads. Select the cycle that best matches the contents of the load for optimal wash results and fabric care. For best results, see the Sorting Items section of the User Manual and follow the fabric care labels on your items. For a guide to fabric care symbols, see the Sorting Items section of the Operation Manual.

Cycle Modifiers

About Modifier Buttons

Each cycle has default settings that are selected automatically. You may also customize these settings using the cycle modifier buttons.

Repeatedly press the button for the desired modifier until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.
The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency.
This is a high-efficiency washer, and the water levels may be much lower than you expect. This is normal, and cleaning/rinsing performance will not be compromised.

Note

The LED next to the setting lights up when the setting is selected.
To protect your garments, not every wash temperature or option is available with every cycle.
A chime will sound twice and the LED will not light if the desired setting is not allowed for the selected cycle.
Follow the fabric care labels on the garment for best results.

Temp.

Make sure the water temperature is suitable for the type of load you are washing.

Press the Temp. button repeatedly to select the wash temperature combination for the selected cycle.
All rinses use unheated cold water.
Cold rinses use less energy. The actual cold rinse temperature depends on the temperature of the cold water at the faucet.

Options and Extra Functions

Your washer includes several additional cycle options to customize cycles to meet your individual needs.

Select the desired option after selecting the desired cycle and settings
