Forget Something" No Problem.

This LG Washer has a built-in pause button that lets you pause your wash after it starts and drop in a stray piece of clothing


A revolutionary spin on laundry

LG puts a modern spin on the traditional top load design. By moving the control panel from the back to the front, the buttons and LED display are easier to read and use. This simple change makes for a more intuitive and functional design and a look that is unlike anything you've ever seen.


Count on it

When you buy a washer, you want something reliable that you can count on. Because the Direct Drive Motor uses fewer moving parts and operates more efficiently, LG confidently backs the motor with a 10-year limited warranty.


The hottest thing in cold clean

Using the cold cycle on your washer doesn't have to mean compromising. ColdWash technology uses cold water and enhanced washing motions to penetrate deep into fabrics, giving you cold water savings with warm water performance.


Catch the wave

If you thought water had done all it could to clean your clothes, you haven't experienced WaveForce technology. Rapid drum movement and powerful water jets provide a revolutionary washing and rinsing experience.


Get wise

If you ever experience an issue with your LG washer, you don't have to worry. The SmartDiagnosis feature helps the service center diagnose problems over the phone, or with a simple app on your smart phone, helping you minimize costly, inconvenient service calls.


Save money. Save energy.

When your washer uses about 30% less energy and half the amount of water used by regular washers, you're going to make an impact-on your utility bills, your energy and water consumption, and most importantly, the environment.

Good Washer but only 1 problem...

Washman2 12/29/2022

Bought this 8 years ago which is back in 2014 this was a good Washing machine to use except a year ago it started having problems with the balancing loads as I was too lazy to get it fixed. It does the UE error even though the loads is balanced however this year we got a new front load machine however it is a non-LG product. It was a good time having your washing machine product but its time I only use the product for the TVs Also a photo will be sent as example of what problem I had with the load.

Drum faulty

Labaldry 11/19/2022

I bought this from the Brick in Nov 2012 . It has always worked fairly well but the centre piece of drum always appeared loose and just not right. The tub support has now worn down the bolt part and flies off when spinning out Very very dangerous.

Worst washer I ever owned

Being_honnest 7/4/2022

Im so disappointed in this machine AND the dryer I simply dislike them. Its supposed to have a large capacity yet the second we add jeans or towels to the load it shows a UE code. When UE code is activated the washer will add a rinse cycle to an already 1 hour long cycle to try to rebalance. That often does not change anything and we have to move the wet stuff around the washer ourselves and then the washer might want to add another rince cycle if its still not happy with the way the wet clothes are distributed. Sometimes have to remove soaking wet jeans and towels for it to spin. Oh sure you might say put less in there but one cycle already takes a whole hour if all goes well There is no way this is high capacity I once tryed washing my queen blanket using the bedding setting and it scratched the blanket open leaving the plastic top part of the washer all used up I also have to say that I find this washer to use WAY too much water especially when it keeps adding rinse cycles to calibrate itself not very energy efficient as I have a well and pump not to mention waste of drinkable water. I cant affort to replace it at this time so I do try to make smaller loads but I wont leave the house if its running for sure. As for the dryer sensors say things are dry when some are still damp. Cant get it to continue to dry as it relies on the sensors to stop. ...

Amazing Customer Service

Sarah LT 5/12/2022

I purchased my washer and dryer about six years ago. The motor died and I was desperate to get it fixed. I have a large family and was planning a major party with overnight house guests several days after the machine went down. LG quickly gave me an appointment ordered the parts and sent out a certified technician to repair it within days. It was also covered by the warranty It was hands-down the easiest most streamlined service repair I have ever had. I will be an LG customer for life

Balancing loads is an issue

HE13 3/29/2022

Struggled for years with this washer balancing loads running and re-running rinse and spin cycles. Hundreds in repairs only helped short term. Doesnt seem like the best design.

Had To Replace With A New Brand After 5 years

PC727 1/8/2022

Bought the matching LG washer dryer set Dec 2016. The washing machine spin cycle recently stopped working. LG certified tech came to the house to diagnose the situation. He did some research and he made a call to LG it was believed to be a sensor issue. However it was mentioned that actual electronic board could be an issue as well. Just to get the part and replace the sensor the cost was almost half of what you would pay for a new washing machine. Because of the uncertainty between the sensor and computer board we made the decision to purchase a new washing machine. There was a fair deal on another brand washing machine so we made the purchase and had it delivered and installed. Because of the coast of the part and repair it seemed to make sense but unfortunately we no longer have a matching washer dryer set or even the same brand.
