What's with the 29 thumbs down. This is just a regular guy sharing his experience with the LG WT7100CW washer. It's great that he took the time to make this video. I just bought this machine and was going to return it because I didn't really understand most of it's functions until I watched this. Turns out this machine is fairly simple to use. Thank you WillieMeetsWorld
Well said People are miserable and don’t have a life or nothing else better to do than to give a thumbs down. If a thumbs down if you letting us know how you feel about yourself no problem carry-on.
Exactly... if I had seen this first, I would have never bought it. You cant get this kind of demonstration at the store. Mines going back. Who's got time to wash clothes let alone all those gadgets. Don't need it. Im all about saving water. Cut you hair and take less time in the shower. But give my the water to wash my clothes.
Thank you Willie, for a well-produced review of the LG WT7100CW Washer. I purchased one from Home Depot yesterday and feel well assured I made a good investment considering your excellent review.
We just bought this washer from Lowes and wanted to research some reviews to ensure we bought a good model. I find so many websites and customer reviews are conflicted on which models are the best quality. Consumer reports seems to favor the LGs and this one received a high score. I appreciate you going to all the detail and your calming, friendly voice. You should consider being a narrator for audio books!
I GOT MY LG WASHER TODAY, A DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, YOU ARE REALLY HELPING E SEE THE FUNCTIONS OF THIS WASHER, GOING TO SAVE YOUR VIDEO, CLEAR AND RIGHT TO THE POINT. AWSOME VIDEO, 👍😎
Thank you for this clear to the point instructions. I started to read the manual and it was so much info and it went over my head, this made it simple and I appreciate your time and effort in going over this to those that might not understand everything.
Amazing review. I appreciate that it's not just talk, but also show. I have a slightly different model (150CW), but obtained my answers here. Clear. Informative. Practical.
Thank you for the demo! I have the same washer and purchased it mid July this summer. I noticed it was filling up with TOO much water after the 8-10 loads I have done since I moved. Even with the lightest load it was filling it to almost the brim of the tub and the agitator wasn't spinning as it should. Being it's still new, I couldn't really compare to see if what I was assuming was correct and it needed to get repaired. With your demo, I definitely now know that I am wasting soo much water and my clothes are not being cleaned well with the agitator working as it was on gentle cycle. NOTE: I use normal cycle as well and your demo really helped. I called LG to get service work order done. Thank god it's under warranty! They are coming tomorrow. :)
Good review dude. I just bought the same model for a good deal. My old Maytag lid switch finally gave up and I did not want to mess with it. I also notice rust stains forming in the drum which means the inner parts are rusted. Gave the old beater to the neighbor since it still works and can be used for other than normal laundry such as rags.
Very helpful vid, thank you! I just began using my new washer that's almost the same as this one. As far as loading in the manual it actually says not to places the clothes in a 'ring' arrangement. As to water levels I haven't tried the 'water plus' function but I definitely want more water filling the drum. With loads of towels they just got twisted around each other and the detergent and water could not possibly have worked their way thru the towels as required. I did not realize how much water saving is emphasized with these washers. I'm less concerned with that than getting my towels and clothing clean!
HI! Did you find a resolution to the low water level? We ran our first load and the water level was so unexpectedly low (for our liking). Have you tried Water Plus function?
@@tynejackson7342 after six months of use I can say it would be easier if we could set the exact water level manually. It's just very inconsistent and pretty annoying. I've tried every type of setting it offers. My biggest gripe, however, is the ridiculously short rinse agitation time. Sometimes it's about 30 seconds of actual agitation and that is NOT LONG ENOUGH to thoroughly rinse. Then it goes into drain and final spin, which can be ten minutes long. I'd prefer several more minutes of rinse agitation and less time spinning. But this is the washer I have now and I'll live with it.
tell us about your washer. I have it narrowed down between this one and the GE 4.8 Cubic foot top loader. I did have an LG frontloader for 10 years till it died, which is my predicament now.
Just got one and still learning, thanks for this demo it helps. First thing I noticed was the time. At first I thought, that can't be right. I did a small load of heavy duty and it took 90 minutes. I could do a full heavy duty load in 20 minutes with my old school washer. That'll take some getting used to, especially on laundry day when we do 2-3 full loads of stuff.
The unit has a fuzzy logic system. It senses the load and weight . It will decrease or increase . Also if all things are good like balance it will hold on time until it corrects the situation.
I used this to replace a washer with about double the wash cycle count. I only used 2 on a regular basis and a Bulky Clothing setting maybe every 3 months. The rest of the cycles were useless to me. So, I agree, this fits my needs perfectly.
The extra spray nozzle next to the soap tray is for a pre-treat. Likley only sprays with lid open, to spot treat something. Shuts off when lid is closed.
Many (most?) areas will have stepped electrical rates. I once was calling about my electrical bill and the operated suggested I use the "delay" feature on my dishwasher and clothes washer so they came on after midnight when the electrical rates were the lowest. Find out when your cheapest electrical rates are during a 24 hour period and have these machine operate then.
I have the WT 7150CW and it's the same washer just an option or two off I believe. I couldn't find any videos of my model except the 45 second promo video. I appreciate your review I was concerned at first because it didn't use as much water but as it washes it adds water when needed lol. I had a samsung but it blew open with the drum coming out which it was on a recall list anyways so its better than being without a washer thanks again
I thought That actually was very helpful . I wish you just bought the lg I just got to review lol but it’s mostly the same except I got the one with the agitator. The blue ball for water o was told is for spot cleaning before a wash. Like if you got something on your shirt to pre hand wash , then through in the load . But I don’t know the button . Thumbs up I had got the WT 7155 CW and matching dryer I don’t get it until the 19 th . Heard some bad things and some good things . Hopefully 🙏🏻 I’ll get the good things lol
I just got one like this but mine has the agitator. Here is my question. There is a small blue water dispenser to the right hand side under the lid. How do you use that? Thanks.
wait,,, how do u know HOW MUCH DETERGENT to use? i mean, u added detergent B4 starting the machine so the machine doesnt yet know how big the load is? do u always add the SAME amount of detergent for every load no matter how BiG or small it is? i am totally discombobulated and probally wont be able to fall asleep tonight so i would greatly appreciate it if someone could please tell me?
The appliance guy told me to use only a teaspoon and a half of detergent, and he was right--that amount has been getting it done. Maybe a bit more for a really large load or very soiled. Am really liking this washer. We got the 7155 because the price was good, $699.
Tide can really mess things up. Oxy is the only thing that I can use otherwise my cloths stick to the drum and it gets out-of-balance. Switching to Oxy fixed all that.....
Question, do the Normal and Speed Wash Rinse cycles fill the tub with water to rinse? Mine does not, it just sprays and spins! A technician came out because my clothes are full of lint, he ran both the Normal and Speed wash one without the clothes and the other with the clothes that is full of lint and the clothes still have the lint all over. It just doesn't make sense that the tub doesn't fill with water to rinse and LG refuses to make it right. Please respond and let me know if your washer doesn't fill the tub in the rinse cycles.
@captain miscellaneous That isn't a solution, your video does not show the rinse cycle, any Normal cycle or any other cycle should rinse the same way which is the tub filling with water to rinse. So does your washer only spray and spin or does it fill the tub with water? If I add the the Water Plus, it goes to Deep Wash, I have the same problem with the Speed Wash, it only sprays and spins and the tub doesn't fill with water.
Great video but my recommendation is to buy another Manufacturer. We purchased a set and within the first 3 Months the washer had failed and 11 Months later here we are again. So, if you enjoy wasting time on the phone and money and time at the Laundromat, I'd recommend skipping this model all together. Great video though!
I wanted to run the spin cycle only. I pressed power, hold down the spin option and pressed start, but after a few spin it started to load a lot of water. What was I doing wrong?
Bought this matching dryer/washer a few weeks ago. My only complaint is the drain hose is extremely short. Had to rig an extension, because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get the drain hose back clip off the machine. If anyone has any clue how to do it without it feeling like the clip that holds the hose in place is going to break, I'll just replace the hose
Thanks for the video - how did you level this machine so it doesn't vibrate during the spin cycle? I followed the directions, leveling the 'front-to-back' and 'side-to-side' cabinet.... but then the 'wash drum' wasn't quite centered to the cabinet opening as required..... so I adjusted all four leveling legs of the washer to center the tub to the cabinet opening, and then the cabinet wasn't level..... but the drum did spin truer, without as much wobble (looking at the bottom center cap of the tub during the spin cycle)..... still, the cabinet seemed to vibrate excessively during certain mid-rpms of the spin cycle......
I ran mine for the first time in NORMAL mode last night, the blue nozzle you refer to is part of the rinse, on mine. My model isn't exactly the same as yours, it is 7150, but I would think it works the same.
@@etinsley A bit of a learning curve. I use deep wash with the extra rinse, and high spin. You can download the app and run the machine via smart phone and get extra cycle options that way. I didn't do that, just thought it was interesting. It holds a lot more laundry than my old washer.
@@Threedog1963 I'm in a quandary. The washer that I've had several years that just died had an agitator. Now the majority of new washers don't. My quandary is which should I choose. Do you find the one with no agitator gets your clothes clean?
In normal HE mode it does spray rinses from the blue nozzle. Or if you don't select softener rinse. 3 to 4 fills and then recirculate via blue nozzle wide spray pattern. Very GOOD RINSE SYSTEM . SOFTNER rinse fills with water ..a deep traditional rinse.. HE mode spray rinses then extracts the load ...if set to extra high or high spin at 950 RPM's. Great water removal and reduces at least 25 min of your drying time. Buy the way the call that a Wash plate or Infuser . The basket also plays a role in cleaning. The bubble shape indentations and the lines at the bottom also gently scrubs the textiles. Using the bedding cycle automatically will fill to the top. It also switch gears and the drum rotates without the wash plate in action. Also in any cycle it will use the Washplate then spin*wash by letting the water run thru clothes getting stains out quicker plus it's gentle on clothes. Someone said the blue nozzle is for a spot fill with the lid open. Sorry that is another brand Samsung or GE. Has a finger faucet in the basket area. Washing mostly vin HE is fine . It will bloom . Instead if the clothes coming in traditionally towards the center regular rollover. This will in HE or big loads called Blooming action. They come out if the center wash* plate reverse rollover going backwards and under again. It also does traditional rollover depending on cycle and low to medium and light weight clothing say on gentle . Or a deep wash water level. This has about 6 different rotation speeds on the Washplate as well as the spin wash. Low to med loads spin washes much more aggressive . Then with larger water level it will go slower . Because if weight and high water level. So say a white sick wash it would benefit from a small to med small load. For maximum cleanability and water power to clean. Wipe down the upper level stuff flies out of clothes makes a mess so I keep a wash cloth for wiping every time . This prevents build up of hair dust grass dirt cat or dog hair . Clean your dispenser once a month . Also clean your tub once a month and wash your basket that may have a line of build up crude from oils skin particals and soup build up. Use hot water and or warm washes to prevent the outer basket from build up. Cold only washes or good at times. But not consistently. You need hear to break down build up and mold it is a moisture trap all washers. Get Tide washer clean . Or other tub cleaners like Afresh tablets. Delay washing is cool . Have it come on at night and press no spin and go to spin speeds . 1 that keeps things moving .cheap rates at night..and will hold the clothes in water so know mildew sets in with a damp load that spun and you can't get to it right away. Load this machine with towels with towels ,, shirts with shirts ,,jeans with jeans and or khaki pants . Also do stuff by weight. Light stuff with a heavy towel or hoody is asking for trouble. Synthetics like gym pants shirts again light with the delicates cycle works great. I have a polo style type shirts ..then a sock night ..towel day this keeps it simple not overwhelming . Use your features not just Normal. One type of detergent does not work with all textiles. There's Woolite Dark for your nice dark clothes you want to reduce fading cheer color guard is good MAS at walmart is good for darks . They have a neutralizer in the formula that cancelles out chlorine in the water . That can cause fading over time. I use that with the delicate cycle to reduce over agitation helps to keep color . Cold to cool wash temps and 1 /3 full for better cleaning as well as dress shirts .They need circulation for less wrinkling . Finally leave your lid open after washing again you want a dry basket inside the outer tub . Less bacteria and build up. Then the next day or hours later you can close the lid. That's a glass window keep it clean weekly also rain ex keeps it from fogging . Water build up can etch the glass over time and permanent water calcium or other anomalies can make your glass stain and set permanently. Spray polish around the top and inner porcelain and cabinet helps keep your machine from rusting especially where the dispensers are. And the tub ring pull towards you in sections wipe down or build up occurs . Washers don't wash itself. So matinance IS IMPORTANT FOR THE LONG RUN OF ANY WASHER. PEOPLE really don't respect or keep there machines in top shape. There so dirty because they think it's not important and throw clothes detergent and run. But being a appliance sales men and really like laundry machines. And the I know the tedious task of laundry ..well you can make it better for just those tips. And don't mega overwhelmed 2 weeks or pile up Laundry . It will where you out. And then the quality disappear and then your textiles suffer. OOOOH no lint givers or lint takers in the wash basket . Fuzz balls from towels mixed gym clothes makes balls and beady ugly worn out looking clothes . So shedding towels should not mix with other clothes. That' is true. Lol Hope this helps .☀️🌀☮️
I have this same exact washer n it does not clean well on any of the cycles. I put more detergent than im suppose to use n it still doesn't make bubbles. The lack of water in the cycles are a joke! This washer is straight garbage! My clothes are never fully clean!! My opinion! Thanks for sharing! I gave your video a 👍🏽
We just got an High Efficiency washer so I was researching because I know nothing. Lol But I remember reading the best rated detergents made for HE washers don’t suds up and that’s suppose to be a good thing I guess. In fact I think that some detergents can actually hold in the dirt if you either use too much or the wrong kind with HE machines. Then I found this too.. “From a scientific perspective it is important to state, from the get go, that there is a difference between a "soap" and a "detergent." For soaps, the amount of suds DOES make a difference in its cleaning power. However, this is NOT the case for detergents. That being said, a long time ago when laundry detergents (versus laundry soaps) first came out marketers wanted to prove their products worked well. So they perpetuated the myth that suds were necessary for detergents, and showed they were working, just like is the case for soaps. That marketing ploy eventually turned into a commonly held belief amongst people that no suds = horrible detergent. I hope that helps…probably not though. I hope you find a solution. Good luck
How can I activate the alarm of my washing machine, it is exactly the same one that appears in the video but the alarm no longer sounds when it ends and not when I select when turning
We have the WT7800 model and just found out that pressing and holding the spin speed button for 3 seconds after power-up turns on the spin only mode. I guess it doesn't work for everyone but that's what did it for us.
Leaves lint streaks. Too much water or too little, floating garment... long and energy draining cycles which does nothing for cleaning the clothes.. but it quiet and if this was a washing good virtue … 😢… dear LG.. could you please recall and retrofit?
Hi Thanks for the video. I have 6 kids and do you think this washer strong enough to clean clothes? The clear liquid you in is that vinegar or bleach? Thank you
I am looking for a new washer and is considering a LG Direct Drive High-Efficiency Smart Top-Loader similar to this one. My only concern is how much cloth can you load for this loader because from this video, the person put in very little cloth to wash. If this kind of washer can take only that much cloth each time, then it would take me or my wife the whole week end to wash considering the house hold of 2 adults and 2 teenagers.
I've had this washer for a year. It leaves small dark debris on my white clothes and white lint-like marks on my dark clothes. I wash the tub once a month as directed, so it's unclear why this is happening. I'm looking for a new washing machine.
I wash a heavy blanket and it’s still soak on water. It didn’t drain all the way. I’m trying to use drain only, but it goes to the hold washing process. Pls if anyone one know how to solve this problem let me know. Thank you
We have the WT7800 model and just found out that pressing and holding the spin speed button for 3 seconds turns on the spin only mode. Had to dig in the manual to find that one. Some things on this machine are not obvious.
I got the same washer imma let y’all know right now it doesn’t give u enough water I wish I would’ve bought another washer I’m very disappointed with this especially after all the money I spent. I’m use to washer giving u enough water not giving u how much water they think u should have. This washer could’ve been made better So in other words if u would like more water don’t buy this washer because u would be very disappointed trust and believe I know 😠
It appears your drum is not centered 'left-to-right' and not centered 'front-to-back' to the cabinet opening..... instructions say to center the wash drum (by leveling all 4 corner leg levelers) to the circumference of the opening of the metal cabinet. During the 'spin' cycle, does the chrome center cap at the bottom of the wash drum 'wobble' or spin off-center....?? Does the washer vibrate excessively? Thanks.
I like your video! but HATE this washer. No wonder it was discontinued. Dark clothes have white marks on them since the first time I used it. I have tried every cycle, adding more water, cleaning the washer (which wastes a ton of hot water) but nothing removes the scummy lint streaks. Heavy duty cycle takes up to 2 hours. LG isn't paying my electric bill. This high effieciency nonsense uses more electricity and more water and clothes do not get clean.
Hi, I hope this helps so when you power it on go directly to the SPIN feature hold for a quick second it will rapidly turn SPIN only then just tap or hold the start feature.
@@marylpz12 As soon as I press Start it begins to fill with water as in a rinse cycle. So this doesn't work. I don't want to rewash or rinse, just spin.
@@briancashman8344 oh I'm so sorry to hear that. i know how frustrating it can be it took me a while for me to figure it out...but again for me that's how it works power it on hold spin until the spin turns on and yeah well i don't want to be repetitive... i hope someone can help you figure this out.
From manual: LE Motor Locked Error A motor error has occurred. Allow the washer to stand for 30 minutes and then restart the cycle. If the error code is still displayed, call for service.

Just bought this washer last week and I love it. Our clothes are nearly dry when the spin cycle stops
Does it have a spin only cycle?

Appreciate the great review.
Take care from Montréal, Québec 😀
They've changed how their machines work. They now have a Water Plus button to add more water, and a Turbo 3D Wash.
Thanks for the video, just bought one of these, unfortunately the store lost the manual 🙄 . This video came in handy.
If Im not mistaken you can go to the LG site and get the PDF manual. Glad my video was helpful!

How to run the spin cycle only: Press power, hold down spin option; choose spin velocity desired; start.
How can you chose the spin velocity
Thank you!! I couldn’t figure it out 😂
Thanks a million

thanks for your explication very interesting 👌
I don't like agitatorless washers, but this one has decent wash action at least.
How do you cancel and drain this washer? What cycle uses bleach how can I get the bleach out of the container?
Thanks for a great video
I been doing this and it works thank you so much 😊
Willie, why am I here? How did I even get here? TH-cam in the background like "I know this voice. WHAT?!"
🤣😂🤣😂 Welcome to the deep dark area of youtube washer/dryer reviews.
I’m looking for the how to use the extra rinse... when I hold all i see is the lock control being activated. 😔
I just got one like this but mine has the agitator. Here is my question. There is a small blue water dispenser to the right hand side under the lid. How do you use that? Thanks.
I've only seen water come out of that blue dispenser when the drum is spinning. I figured it was just a rinse helper.
wait,,, how do u know HOW MUCH DETERGENT to use? i mean, u added detergent B4 starting the machine so the machine doesnt yet know how big the load is? do u always add the SAME amount of detergent for every load no matter how BiG or small it is? i am totally discombobulated and probally wont be able to fall asleep tonight so i would greatly appreciate it if someone could please tell me?

A technician came out because my clothes are full of lint, he ran both the Normal and Speed wash one without the clothes and the other with the clothes that is full of lint and the clothes still have the lint all over. It just doesn't make sense that the tub doesn't fill with water to rinse and LG refuses to make it right. Please respond and let me know if your washer doesn't fill the tub in the rinse cycles.
@captain miscellaneous That isn't a solution, your video does not show the rinse cycle, any Normal cycle or any other cycle should rinse the same way which is the tub filling with water to rinse. So does your washer only spray and spin or does it fill the tub with water? If I add the the Water Plus, it goes to Deep Wash, I have the same problem with the Speed Wash, it only sprays and spins and the tub doesn't fill with water.
Great video but my recommendation is to buy another Manufacturer. We purchased a set and within the first 3 Months the washer had failed and 11 Months later here we are again. So, if you enjoy wasting time on the phone and money and time at the Laundromat, I'd recommend skipping this model all together. Great video though!
I wanted to run the spin cycle only. I pressed power, hold down the spin option and pressed start, but after a few spin it started to load a lot of water. What was I doing wrong?
I am Here trying to find out how to use the spin only cycle if there is any.
Bought this matching dryer/washer a few weeks ago. My only complaint is the drain hose is extremely short. Had to rig an extension, because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get the drain hose back clip off the machine. If anyone has any clue how to do it without it feeling like the clip that holds the hose in place is going to break, I'll just replace the hose
Does yours slightly shake on High spin?
Thanks for the video - how did you level this machine so it doesn't vibrate during the spin cycle? I followed the directions, leveling the 'front-to-back' and 'side-to-side' cabinet.... but then the 'wash drum' wasn't quite centered to the cabinet opening as required..... so I adjusted all four leveling legs of the washer to center the tub to the cabinet opening, and then the cabinet wasn't level..... but the drum did spin truer, without as much wobble (looking at the bottom center cap of the tub during the spin cycle)..... still, the cabinet seemed to vibrate excessively during certain mid-rpms of the spin cycle......
I ran mine for the first time in NORMAL mode last night, the blue nozzle you refer to is part of the rinse, on mine. My model isn't exactly the same as yours, it is 7150, but I would think it works the same.
I just ordered a 7150 today (it will be delivered on Friday). How do you like yours so far?
@@etinsley A bit of a learning curve. I use deep wash with the extra rinse, and high spin. You can download the app and run the machine via smart phone and get extra cycle options that way. I didn't do that, just thought it was interesting. It holds a lot more laundry than my old washer.
@@Threedog1963 I'm in a quandary. The washer that I've had several years that just died had an agitator. Now the majority of new washers don't. My quandary is which should I choose.
Do you find the one with no agitator gets your clothes clean?
In normal HE mode it does spray rinses from the blue nozzle. Or if you don't select softener rinse. 3 to 4 fills and then recirculate via blue nozzle wide spray pattern. Very GOOD RINSE SYSTEM .
SOFTNER rinse fills with water ..a deep traditional rinse.. HE mode spray rinses then extracts the load ...if set to extra high or high spin at 950 RPM's.
Great water removal and reduces at least 25 min of your drying time.
Buy the way the call that a Wash plate or Infuser . The basket also plays a role in cleaning. The bubble shape indentations and the lines at the bottom also gently scrubs the textiles. Using the bedding cycle automatically will fill to the top. It also switch gears and the drum rotates without the wash plate in action. Also in any cycle it will use the Washplate then spin*wash by letting the water run thru clothes getting stains out quicker plus it's gentle on clothes. Someone said the blue nozzle is for a spot fill with the lid open. Sorry that is another brand Samsung or GE. Has a finger faucet in the basket area. Washing mostly vin HE is fine . It will bloom . Instead if the clothes coming in traditionally towards the center regular rollover. This will in HE or big loads called Blooming action. They come out if the center wash* plate reverse rollover going backwards and under again. It also does traditional rollover depending on cycle and low to medium and light weight clothing say on gentle . Or a deep wash water level. This has about 6 different rotation speeds on the Washplate as well as the spin wash.
Low to med loads spin washes much more aggressive . Then with larger water level it will go slower . Because if weight and high water level. So say a white sick wash it would benefit from a small to med small load. For maximum cleanability and water power to clean.
Wipe down the upper level stuff flies
out of clothes makes a mess so I keep a wash cloth for wiping every time . This prevents build up of hair dust grass dirt cat or dog hair . Clean your dispenser once a month . Also clean your tub once a month and wash your basket that may have a line of build up crude from oils skin particals and soup build up. Use hot water and or warm washes to prevent the outer basket from build up. Cold only washes or good at times. But not consistently. You need hear to break down build up and mold it is a moisture trap all washers. Get Tide washer clean . Or other tub cleaners like Afresh tablets.
Delay washing is cool . Have it come on at night and press no spin and go to spin speeds . 1 that keeps things moving .cheap rates at night..and will hold the clothes in water so know mildew sets in with a damp load that spun and you can't get to it right away.
Load this machine with towels with towels ,, shirts with shirts ,,jeans with jeans and or khaki pants . Also do stuff by weight. Light stuff with a heavy towel or hoody is asking for trouble. Synthetics like gym pants shirts again light with the delicates cycle works great. I have a polo style type shirts ..then a sock night ..towel day this keeps it simple not overwhelming . Use your features not just Normal. One type of detergent does not work with all textiles. There's Woolite Dark for your nice dark clothes you want to reduce fading cheer color guard is good MAS at walmart is good for darks . They have a neutralizer in the formula that cancelles out chlorine in the water .
That can cause fading over time. I use that with the delicate cycle to reduce over agitation helps to keep color . Cold to cool wash temps and 1 /3 full for better cleaning as well as dress shirts .They need circulation for less wrinkling . Finally leave your lid open after washing again you want a dry basket inside the outer tub . Less bacteria and build up. Then the next day or hours later you can close the lid. That's a glass window keep it clean weekly also rain ex keeps it from fogging . Water build up can etch the glass over time and permanent water calcium or other anomalies can make your glass stain and set permanently.
Spray polish around the top and inner porcelain and cabinet helps keep your machine from rusting especially where the dispensers are. And the tub ring pull towards you in sections wipe down or build up occurs . Washers don't wash itself. So matinance IS IMPORTANT FOR THE LONG RUN OF ANY WASHER.
PEOPLE really don't respect or keep there machines in top shape. There so dirty because they think it's not important and throw clothes detergent and run. But being a appliance sales men and really like laundry machines.
And the I know the tedious task of laundry ..well you can make it better for just those tips. And don't mega overwhelmed 2 weeks or pile up Laundry . It will where you out. And then the quality disappear and then your textiles suffer. OOOOH no lint givers or lint takers in the wash basket . Fuzz balls from towels mixed gym clothes makes balls and beady ugly worn out looking clothes . So shedding towels should not mix with other clothes. That' is true. Lol
Hope this helps .☀️🌀☮️
Thanks. Is there a rinse only cycle?
Thank you
I have this washer. Only trouble is it will not start unless you unplug it and after a while plug it back in and hope it turns on..
Thanks for the washer review. I'm considering one of these. How has it been working for you?
I have this same exact washer n it does not clean well on any of the cycles. I put more detergent than im suppose to use n it still doesn't make bubbles. The lack of water in the cycles are a joke! This washer is straight garbage! My clothes are never fully clean!! My opinion! Thanks for sharing! I gave your video a 👍🏽
We just got an High Efficiency washer so I was researching because I know nothing. Lol But I remember reading the best rated detergents made for HE washers don’t suds up and that’s suppose to be a good thing I guess. In fact I think that some detergents can actually hold in the dirt if you either use too much or the wrong kind with HE machines. Then I found this too..
“From a scientific perspective it is important to state, from the get go, that there is a difference between a "soap" and a "detergent."
For soaps, the amount of suds DOES make a difference in its cleaning power.
However, this is NOT the case for detergents.
That being said, a long time ago when laundry detergents (versus laundry soaps) first came out marketers wanted to prove their products worked well. So they perpetuated the myth that suds were necessary for detergents, and showed they were working, just like is the case for soaps.
That marketing ploy eventually turned into a commonly held belief amongst people that no suds = horrible detergent.
I hope that helps…probably not though. I hope you find a solution. Good luck
The machine weighs the laundry, and adds the amount needed for each load. Laundry detergent doesn’t make bubbles, soap does.
How can I activate the alarm of my washing machine, it is exactly the same one that appears in the video but the alarm no longer sounds when it ends and not when I select when turning
Thanks for making this video. Can this machine spin only? Thanks for your reply.
Ii has
We have the WT7800 model and just found out that pressing and holding the spin speed button for 3 seconds after power-up turns on the spin only mode.
I guess it doesn't work for everyone but that's what did it for us.
@@DanWS100 Thanks. I found a comment that helped me to do the spin only cycle.
Leaves lint streaks. Too much water or too little, floating garment... long and energy draining cycles which does nothing for cleaning the clothes.. but it quiet and if this was a washing good virtue … 😢… dear LG.. could you please recall and retrofit?
Good job
Is it necessary to use tray? Can I use tide pods?
Unless you're using liquid detergent yes it's necessary to use the tray. For Tide Pods those can be tossed in the washer with the clothes.
Instructions say to put tide pods in the drum. Do not put them in the tray.
Hi
Thanks for the video. I have 6 kids and do you think this washer strong enough to clean clothes? The clear liquid you in is that vinegar or bleach? Thank you
I am looking for a new washer and is considering a LG Direct Drive High-Efficiency Smart Top-Loader similar to this one. My only concern is how much cloth can you load for this loader because from this video, the person put in very little cloth to wash. If this kind of washer can take only that much cloth each time, then it would take me or my wife the whole week end to wash considering the house hold of 2 adults and 2 teenagers.
Need more water 💧
You can put in more clothes than this, that is just what he needed at that time.
I have issue I just got washer today when I put my clothes then I click normal then start the water didn’t come
I've had this washer for a year. It leaves small dark debris on my white clothes and white lint-like marks on my dark clothes. I wash the tub once a month as directed, so it's unclear why this is happening. I'm looking for a new washing machine.
I replaced mine with an old fashioned Amana. No more crud on my clothes.
I agree Stratcat250, I appreciate the video. I just bought one and this is a benefit to me.
What was the white powder you spread on top of clothes at 19:30, oxy clean?
How to put it only spin
Press and hold the Spin button for 5 or 6 seconds. It take a while of pushing that particular button on my machine...
Is the cold wash light supposed to light up when you press the button? I would think it should but mine isn’t and I am wondering if I need to return.
Yes same with mine/just purchased last week. I am glad you asked.
@@shirlball2 I'm going to have to call it in.I hope its an easy fix.
I have a similar model and the cold wash light lights up on certain washing mode I don't remember in this moment but I think it is normal!!!
@@shirlball2 I had a tech come out yesterday and the machine needs to be replaced. They couldn’t fix it.
What settings are for washing whites?
Ditto.
How do you put it to just rinse and spin
Press the Special Care button until the Prince and spin lights up.
I wash a heavy blanket and it’s still soak on water. It didn’t drain all the way. I’m trying to use drain only, but it goes to the hold washing process. Pls if anyone one know how to solve this problem let me know. Thank you
Just turn your machine on, don’t add any laundry detergent, and let it run through a whole cycle.
We have the WT7800 model and just found out that pressing and holding the spin speed button for 3 seconds turns on the spin only mode.
Had to dig in the manual to find that one. Some things on this machine are not obvious.
@@DanWS100 i tried that . it looked like it was gonna do it, and then it didn't, even after multiple attempts.
Can you use detergent pods in it?
Yes. You have to drop them into the tub with your laundry
It don't look like it cleans well.
It really dosent I have one and I’m trying to figure out how to have it clean better
what is the size of the drum?
4.5 cubic feet.
My LG also doesn't have an agitator. I've got a wife for that.
Wtf
@@JessieeA lmao the username says it all. We have a comedian on our hands 😂
Ahahah the wife agitates you. For imbeciles it needs to be explained 😅
Just recently got one with the agitator. It stays stuck on rinse and the light just blinks. No water refill help please? :( lol
It means the load isn’t spread out evenly and u possibly have too much loaded
Does it only take liquid soap ? Or can it use the powder detergent ?
You can use both. But LG does say if you use the powder, to remove the bracket in the laundry detergent tray.
Anyone else hear that ringing when it agitates
How do you like the washer now that you've had it for a while?
Love it! No issues either.
I got the same washer imma let y’all know right now it doesn’t give u enough water I wish I would’ve bought another washer I’m very disappointed with this especially after all the money I spent. I’m use to washer giving u enough water not giving u how much water they think u should have. This washer could’ve been made better So in other words if u would like more water don’t buy this washer because u would be very disappointed trust and believe I know 😠
Try on the bedding cycle, it filled all the way on mine
Cómo se lava o se le pone agua manual mente le pongo y no lava
If for some reason I need to stop this washer while it's working how do I do that
You just need to press on the start/ pause button
Press the pause button. It will unlock after a couple of minutes.
It appears your drum is not centered 'left-to-right' and not centered 'front-to-back' to the cabinet opening..... instructions say to center the wash drum (by leveling all 4 corner leg levelers) to the circumference of the opening of the metal cabinet. During the 'spin' cycle, does the chrome center cap at the bottom of the wash drum 'wobble' or spin off-center....?? Does the washer vibrate excessively? Thanks.
The machine centers itself when the wash cycle starts. It also measures the load size and adjusts itself accordingly.
Anyone knows how to fix water that wont stop pouring in even if machine unplug??? Could use some help here!!!
Turn the tap off
I like your video! but HATE this washer. No wonder it was discontinued. Dark clothes have white marks on them since the first time I used it. I have tried every cycle, adding more water, cleaning the washer (which wastes a ton of hot water) but nothing removes the scummy lint streaks. Heavy duty cycle takes up to 2 hours. LG isn't paying my electric bill. This high effieciency nonsense uses more electricity and more water and clothes do not get clean.
Bought one at home depot, It lasted 1year 4 months, It's in the scrap yard now.
Didn’t you have extended warranty
How to spin only
Hi, I hope this helps so when you power it on go directly to the SPIN feature hold for a quick second it will rapidly turn SPIN only then just tap or hold the start feature.
@@marylpz12 As soon as I press Start it begins to fill with water as in a rinse cycle. So this doesn't work. I don't want to rewash or rinse, just spin.
@@briancashman8344 oh I'm so sorry to hear that. i know how frustrating it can be it took me a while for me to figure it out...but again for me that's how it works power it on hold spin until the spin turns on and yeah well i don't want to be repetitive... i hope someone can help you figure this out.
Does anyone now how to turn the sound on and off
Press the Signal control lock button
Are you happy with how clean your clothes are getting, with this machine? My 16 year old Kenmore front loader died…now I’m shopping.
How goes the hunt?? I’ve checked Samsung, LG, and whirlpool top loaders. So far I leaning toward LG.
Life stepped in and I’m now responding but yes, it washes my clothes very well. I hope you chose your model to replace your dead front loader.
Where is spin only?
I have been looking too. I BELIEVE it can rinse and spin only. SAD
Keep spin pressed.
Good morning how active sounds
I’m getting an LE code. It’s brand new
From manual:
LE
Motor Locked Error
A motor error has occurred.
Allow the washer to stand for 30 minutes and then restart the cycle.
If the error code is still displayed, call for service.
