** Rated Capacity of Model
NOTE [Minimum water amount]
Water level depends on laundry load and washer mode. You can manually add water to a certain height. The washer operates automatically once the sensed water level is reached. Pour water until the washer starts operating.
NOTE
Iron in water can cause clothes to turn yellow or stain brown/orange. Install a water softener or iron filter if needed.
Cold Water Washing
When washing in COLD water, additional steps may be needed:
- Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve in WARM water.
- Pre-treat spots and stains.
- Soak heavily soiled items.
- Use appropriate bleach.
* Water below 18°C (65°F) may not activate additives and cause issues. COLD water is defined as 26-29°C (80-85°F) by detergent manufacturers. If water is too cold, detergent may not clean effectively.
Using Detergent
Detergent
Follow detergent package directions. Insufficient detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Use more for hard water, large loads, greasy soils, or low water temperature.
Choosing the right Detergent
Use domestic detergent (powder, liquid, or concentrated). Avoid soap flakes or granulated powders. Use detergent suitable for woolens when washing woolens.
Water Level and Amount of Detergent
Detergent Amounts:
- Concentrated detergent: 20g per 30 liters of water.
- Regular synthetic detergent: 30g per 30 liters of water.
- Automatic sensing may adjust detergent amount based on laundry load even at the same water level.
- Use synthetic detergents that generate less bubbles.
- For liquid detergent, dissolve with water (1:1 ratio) and add through the bleach deposit hole.
- Detergent amount varies by soil level (Jeans/work clothes may need more; bath towels less).
- Follow manufacturer recommendations for liquid and concentrated detergents.
Note on Foam Level: A thin layer of foam is ideal. Too much foam hinders rinsing and can cause environmental pollution. No foam means insufficient detergent, leading to soil redeposition.
Adding the detergent*
Add measured detergent to the dispenser drawer. Powdered detergent is recommended for delay wash. Detergent is flushed at the start of the wash phase. Adjust usage based on water temperature, hardness, load size, and soil level. Avoid using too much detergent to prevent oversudsing and residue.
Using Liquid Bleach
- Check care labels and separate items to be bleached.
- Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
- Measure bleach carefully according to bottle instructions.
- Pour measured bleach directly into the bleach dispenser before starting the washer. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Mix powdered bleach with water before pouring.
NOTE
- Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket, as it can cause color change or damage.
- Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids (vinegar, rust remover) as this can release toxic gas causing death.
- Do not pour powdered bleach into the bleach dispenser.
Using Fabric Softener
- Dilute fabric softener with water. Undiluted softener may cause oil-like spots.
- Measure and add softener to the compartment marked with the symbol ( ). Follow manufacturer's directions.
- Softener dispenses automatically in the final rinse. For extra rinse, add manually when the beep sounds.
- Do not overfill the dispenser (max 35ml). Overfilling can cause early dispensing and stained clothes. Use a pouring spout to avoid spills.
- Softener effect may vary by viscosity. Stickier softeners may be less effective and might need dilution.
Attention
- Do not mix with detergent or bleach.
- Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes; it may stain them.
- Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.
- Option washing is not designed for use with the fabric softener dispenser.
Scrud (Waxy Build up)
Scrud is a waxy build-up from fabric softener interacting with detergent. It can cause stains or unpleasant smells. If scrud builds up, it is not a machine fault.
Recommendations for using fabric softener:
- Use sparingly.
- Do not splash or overfill the dispenser.
- Clean the dispenser after each cycle.
- Clean the machine regularly (refer to page 24 or 33).
- Cold water washing increases scrud build-up. Recommend warm or hot wash every 5th wash.
- Thinner consistency softeners are less likely to contribute to build-up.
Special Guide for Stain Removal

- Lower the drain hose and drain water from the bowl and hose by spinning.
If frozen
- Remove water supply hose and immerse in HOT water (approx. 40°C).
- Pour approx. 2 liters of HOT water (approx. 40°C) into the bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Connect water supply hose and confirm machine performs supply and drainage.
Wash Inner-tub
Leave lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. Clean inner-tub with a soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent, then rinse. Do not use harsh cleaners.
Hoses
- Inlet Hoses: Replace every 5 years.
- Exterior: Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid sharp objects.
Long Vacations
Shut off water supply at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.
Cleaning the Inside of your Washer
If using fabric softener or regular COLD water washing, clean the inside of your washer occasionally.
- Fill washer with HOT water.
- Add about two cups of powdered detergent containing phosphate.
- Let it operate for several minutes.
- Stop washer, open lid, and let it soak overnight.
- After soaking, drain and run through a normal cycle.
- Alternatively, use the TUB CLEAN PROGRAM periodically.
Do not wash clothes during this procedure.
Products that might damage your washing machine
- Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizers can damage paintwork and components.
- Hydrocarbon solvents (petrol, paint thinners, lacquer thinners) can dissolve plastic and blister paint. (Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents; they are flammable and should NOT be put in the washer or dryer.)
- Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage the control panel.
- Dyes may stain plastic components but do not damage the machine; clean thoroughly afterward. Dye strippers are not recommended.
- Do not use the washer lid as a work surface.
Smart Closing Door*
- Washing process is visible through tempered safety glass.
- Smart hinge prevents sudden door closing.
- The door is heavy; close it carefully, avoiding hands or materials getting caught, which could cause injury or damage.
Door closing time depends on ambient temperature. Higher temperature means lower closing time. Performs best when lid is closed from full open condition.

Common Washing Problems
Many problems involve poor soil/stain removal, lint/scum residue, and fabric damage. Follow these instructions for satisfactory results.
| WASH PROBLEM | Problems | Possible Causes | Solutions & Preventive Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poor soil removal | • Not enough Detergent • Wash Water Temperature too low. • Overloading the washer • Incorrect wash cycle • Incorrect sorting • Pretreat stain not done | • Use correct amount of Detergent for load size, soil, and water hardness. • Use WARM or HOT water for normal soil. Different temperatures may be required by soil type (page 13). • Reduce load size. • Use STRONG (JEANS) or SOAK & STRONG (JEANS) cycle for heavily soiled laundry. • Separate heavily soiled items. • Pretreat stain and heavy soil (page 12). | |
| Blue Stains | • Undiluted fabric softener dispensed directly onto fabric | • Rub stain with bar soap. • Do not overfill softener dispenser or pour liquid softener directly on fabric. See page 15. | |
| Black or gray marks on clothes | • Buildup from fabric softener/detergent interaction. • Not enough Detergent | • Follow recommendations against Scrud (waxy buildup) (page 15). • Use correct amount of Detergent for load size, soil, and water hardness. | |
| Yellow or brown rust stains | • Iron or manganese in water supply, pipes, or water heater | • Use rust remover safe for fabric for discolored whites. • Install a nonprecipitating water softener or iron filter. • Run water for a few minutes before washing to clear lines. | |
| Lint | • Incorrect sorting • Tissues left in pocket • Overloading the washer | • Wash lint givers (towels, sheets) separately from lint collectors (synthetics). Remove tissues before washing. See page 12 for sorting. Do not overload. | |
| Residue or Detergent | • Overloading the washer • Undissolved Detergent • Use too much Detergent | • Do not overload. • Some detergents need pre-dissolving; try pre-dissolving. • Increase Water Temperature (HOT water safe for fabric). • Use proper amount of Detergent. | |
| Holes, tears, or snags | • Incorrect use of chlorine bleach. • Unfastened zippers, hooks, buckles. • Ribs, tears, broken threads. • Overloading the washer. • Degradation of fabric | • Never pour chlorine bleach directly on fabric.

Smart Diagnosis™
* USING SMARTDIAGNOSISTM
Use this feature only when instructed by the LG Customer Service Call Center. The transmission sound is like a fax machine and has no meaning except to the call center. SmartDiagnosis™ cannot be activated if the washer does not power up.
If experiencing problems, call the Customer Information Center. Follow agent's instructions and these steps when requested:
- Press POWER button. Do not press other buttons or turn the selector knob.
- Place phone mouthpiece very close to the POWER button.
- Press and hold the Water level button for three seconds while holding the phone mouthpiece to the icon or POWER button.
- Keep phone in place until tone transmission finishes (approx. 6 seconds). Display counts down. Do not move the phone during transmission.
- Once countdown is over, resume conversation with the agent, who will use the transmitted information for analysis.
Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature to assist, not replace, traditional service calls. Effectiveness depends on factors like phone reception, external noise, and room acoustics.
* Product features may vary by model.
