5.2 cu. ft. Mega Capacity TurboWash® Washer with Steam Technology

Washes well but has issues.

ATB64 12/11/2020

I bought this unit a year ago w/ a 5year warranty. The unit started losing the coloring under the soap dispenser. Then it continued around the opening of the unit to include a corrosion at the metallic door hinge. I called LG to see what could be done about my issues and they gave me a standard line about not doing anything w/ cosmetics. I dont think this qualifies as cosmetic. Look at my pix and determine for yourself.

Saved my sanity.

Puddymom 11/16/2020

My previous one was not getting clothes clean my husband has the worst type of dementia terrible incontinence problem. With the old machine I soaked his soiled items over night in a strong enzyme/detergent solution I then drained spun out the old stuff started the wash cycle again with more detergent etc. After drying the clothes they still had awful urine smell. In hindsight I probably should have cleaned the washer itself. My first LG load I DID was his stuff. Now using Tide I set it on sanitize then I washed dried it all. I used ONLY TIDE after drying his clothes had a wonderfully clean scent

Not the features you need

BNBlaundress 10/30/2020

I purchased this machine a few weeks ago as a replacement for my 14-year-old LG front loader. We had great luck with the old machine as it 1 lasted longer than it does for most people albeit with a few repairs and 2 we never had issues with odor as some have reports. The latter may be because I own a BB and use bleach often for white towels. Some of the features I loved about the old machine was the ability to program my favorite load type and the ability to adjust the water level when I felt it was necessary to have a little extra water. Those features are absent from this model and I really miss them. I just washed a load of sheets twice in this machine the cycle times are REALLY long BTW because there was blood on the sheets and frankly I dont think there was enough water to get it out. Even with two long cycles using enzyme detergent the blood didnt come out. I ended up putting them in my old top loader and they came out fine.

Nice Big Front Loader

Lrobby99 10/15/2020

We have owned this washer and the matching dryer for almost a year now and like it a lot. It certainly saves water uses less detergent and does a fine job cleaning clothes towels etc. And I like the wash cycles. You can tell LG put a lot of thought into the programming of the various wash cycles. But I do have one question. Why is it the wash cycle always ends up leaving water in the detergent cup? One always has to remove that cup and dump out a certain amount of water prior to beginning a new load of wash. I dont understand the benefit of this. Is it supposed to do this?

Regretful-My laundry doesnt feel or smell clean

Regretful Purchase 5/13/2020

This washer does NOT get my laundry clean. My clothes do not feel clean and do not smell clean. Its so bad that sometimes when Im wearing a freshly washed shirt or pants I can smell the odors. A service technician came out and told me this unit doesnt use much water and I need to put less in at a time. Well that still did not help. I want to change out for a different model maybe one with an agitator that would actually clean my laundry. Even to cuddle on the couch with a freshly washed blanket isnt pleasant. They keep giving me the run around. Horrible

Extremely Loud Noise / Harsh Vibration

Christina1 4/15/2020

I have the same exact loud noise coming from my washing machine as another user Brian has mentioned. The washer is only a few months old and has had this issue from the beginning although it seems to be getting louder and more dangerous as the months go by. Unfortunately I cannot add a video directly to this review without uploading it to Youtube will upload at a later time. One reviewer Brian has posted a video and the issue I am describing is the same as the issue starting at 55 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpAzn5DDadgfeature=youtu.be My previous LG washer malfunctioned after ten years with the door opening numerous times during the cycle causing a lot of flooding and water damage to our basement. Will never buy another LG product again.

Love my new washer

wsue 3/31/2020

Ive only had my washer for a few weeks but I love it Its beautiful and works wonderful My only complaint is that the door does stay wet after a load. I leave the door unlatched with just a slight opening and it dries out quickly. I have not noticed any bad odors from doing this.

Very pleased except for missing back light

Learjet 3/13/2020

We bought an LG washing machine as a replacement for an older washing machine. Its a very good unit in every way. The only problem so far is that the control panel is not backlit. We called LG to see if we can turn a light on the control panel and the tech said it depends on the model. He does not know which model comes with a backlit control panel. I dont know why LG did not think about the back light or at least make the panel a lighter color -- or provide us with a flash light. Other than that we are assuming this machine it will last us a long time. After 2 weeks of using the new LG we dont have any complaints. Its very quiet and very stable. We recommend this unit -- but with a flash light of course.

Holds a lot

SML in MD 3/3/2020

I like the size of the washer. It easily holds my king size bedding. However when I close the door after completing my washing the tube fills with water. I always leave the door and the soap dispenser open after washing when it gets dry I close them both. If I close the washer door there is water inside. I have to do a drain and spin before I can wash again.

we bought this machine as a replacement for the Whirlpool top load we had. this is how clothes are supposed to look and smell like after being washed. The features are cool and cant wait to try all of them. We also bought the pedestal washer and that is very easy to use also. My wife does her under garments in that at the same time my work jeans are being washed.

The first Washer delivered had to be replaced. Every wash was with very hot water regardless of the temperature I had set. I previously owned a Samsung Steam washer. I am confused now with the new one. Every load is cold. I guess from a Cold rinse. I love the features and I love the size. I am still adjusting. I think I will love it.

I bought this washer almost one month ago and I am very pleased at the performance. It washes my clothes very well in less time than my last front load washer that I had for 11 years. I am just getting used to it and it takes a little bit to get to know what cycles are best for the clothing you are washing but so far I really like it

Much better than expected..

Glen3939 12/3/2019

Bought this washer two months ago. I am very impressed with how easy it is to program. The clothes comes out clean as expected. The larger items like linens and sheets were equally well cleaned. The most impressive thing about this washer is the way it handled the blankets. The washer handled the load with ease no strain whatsoever and the high speed spin cycle left this large load damp not dripping. Additionally the washer didnt rattle and shake...

Super Washer

drliccione 11/20/2019

This was my first time purchasing an LG appliance and Im very happy with it. The LG has replaced a Kenmore HE machine that went out after 10 years of use. I have used this new LG washing machine numerous times now on various settings and I am very pleased with it. The clothes come out clean the machine is quiet and has minimal vibration during the spin cycle. Additionally Im glad that I bought this high volume capacity model as I can wash larger loads and it has already easily handled my king sized bedding too. I bought it with the pedestal which makes loading and unloading easier due to the overall height of the unit.

Do not buy LG washer.

brian816 11/17/2019

I bought this product a year ago as LG had positive reviews. Less than a year the washer is squeeking during wash and after if you turn the drum manually. The drum after washer is hard to turn now. LG sent a technician and even with 3 videos he only said he didnt hear anything and maybe something was in ther and washed away. I am now here in less than a year with a washer I cannot use and LG cannot or will not fix. Do not waste your money

I bought this machine with the understanding that it had custom program and wi-fi. The promotional literature showed it having the features but when I bought it and had it delivered I discovered that it had neither of them. The store would not take it back. I contacted LG but they would not respond. It lacks 2 features I really wanted and now I am stuck with this one and regret buying it.

We purchased this LG set 3 weeks ago and the washer is holding water in the soap/softener dispenser. Now mold is growing in it. I cant return it to the store because its been more than 2 weeks. Customer service just recommended to do a tub clean cycle with oxy clean. I wish someone had posted pictures about this issue before we purchased this set. DONT BUY IT SO DISAPPOINTED

Early Impressions

tcWendel 10/5/2019

Having had the opportunity to use this washer for over a month now I can at least give some impressions about the unit. So far so good. I have to say it exceeds my expectations. This is my first front-load washer and Im actually enjoying it. The family has pretty much used it every week so far and the results are impressive. Easy to use very intuitive silent runner. Fairly easy read on the manual to get up and running and also to get fully familiar with the washer. We like the multiple cycle choices as the family has a hodgepodge of clothing types and usage. On the niggle side... we tested the unit on high speed spin when we first got it to assess if there were any unbalance issues. All was well. However there are times when actually doing the laundry the washer shakes from unbalanced loads which would suggest that the mixing of the clothes during washing is not always at best. Another thing is the display. While chock full of information the in-use option choices when lit are very bright. So much so that it becomes hard to read some of the other non-lit wording particularly as the lettering is black on smoke or gray background. Maybe having a back-lit display while the in-use options are brightly lit could be helpful. All in all though first impressions are good. Will see with time how this unit holds up to the constant usage of this family.

Leaking on first wash

So today my washer with the mini washer was delivered today and on the first wash the seal around the door just started leaking very badly. I called the company they came back out and picked the unit up. And at this time I dont know when I will get a new one.... not sure if I made the right choice with LG. First impression isnt good at this point

Bought the washer back in June first one came in damaged. Received the second one in a timely manner. I had some large loads of towels and blankets to wash as we had used them to wrap our furniture during our move here. The Jumbo load did a terrific job of cleaning everything and really cut down the amount of loads I would have had to have done with a regular washer. Very happy with my purchase so far.

stackable but too tall

Bee954 7/29/2019

I just got this washer/dryer delivered today. I looked specifically for a stackable washer/dryer. Well I was not expecting the thing to be this tall. I am 53 and I have to be on my tip toes to reach the dryer dials and I have to step back to see the setting on the dryer. If I would have known this at the time of purchase I surely would have not got a stacking washer and dryer. All the displays in the store are side by side. What was LG thinking if you are 55 or shorter you might as well not stack this washer/dryer. I had 2 other brands that stacked prior to this one and at least i could reach and read the dryer dial. i dont know if ill keep and unstack them but if I wanted side by side I would have purchased the bigger ones. this one was the biggest stackable I could find. dont get if your gonna stack.

DaSoil 7/12/2019

This washer is very quite during the spin cycle and very fast. The turbo cycle is quicker than my old washer. It senses the load size and it balances the load so there is no wobbling during the spin cycle. It has a steam cycle that I have not tried yet but I will. Overall I am really pleased with this washer. I have had it for about six weeks now.
