OPERATION 17
OPERATION
Before Use
ENGLISH
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
Operation Overview
1 Sort laundry and load the washer.
• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size as needed. Open the door and load items
into the washer.
• If using single-use detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents, place them in the drum before
loading the laundry.
4 Select a cycle.
• Turn the cycle selector knob until the desired cycle is selected and press the 8(OK) button.
• The preset wash temperature, spin speed, soil level and option settings for the selected cycle are
shown.
• The Normal cycle must be selected in order to change its default settings.
• Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle immediately starts the Normal cycle with
the default settings.
5 Adjust settings.
• Default settings for the selected cycle can be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and
option buttons.
• Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime sounds and the LED does
not light up if the selection is not allowed.
6 Begin cycle.
• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The door locks, and the washer agitates briefly
without water to measure the weight of the load.
• If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer shuts off and all settings
are lost.
18 OPERATION
7 End of cycle.
• When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to
reduce wrinkling.
• Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.
NOTE
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the
clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.
• If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the
Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Add Garments function will not be available (on applicable
models). To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select
Quick Wash.
Sorting Laundry
Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads
made up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer,
discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.
Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with
light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.
Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled
clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.
Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with
delicates can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.
Lint Type
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing
these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and
linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.)
CAUTION
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding,
Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers,
OPERATION 19
outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the
washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.
• Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause
excessive vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before Calling for Service
ENGLISH
The washer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an
early stage. If the washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before
you call for service.
FAQs
Q: Why does my washer make loud banging noises while it is filling with water?
A: This is actually a problem with the plumbing in your home. When the water valve in the washer shuts
off, it can cause pipes in your home to move, resulting in a loud banging noise. This effect, called
water hammer, can be reduced by installing an item called a water hammer arrestor. Add-on
arrestors can be purchased through your local hardware or home improvement store.
Q: Why is there so little water in my washer? How can it clean the clothes?
A: HE (High-Efficiency) washers are designed to properly wash your laundry while using a minimum
amount of water and energy. Because the water volume is low, the small amount of detergent used is
more concentrated in the water, resulting in excellent cleaning performance.
Q: When I press a button, why does my washer beep and then nothing happens?
A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn it off, press the Options button, turn the knob to
select Control Lock, and press the 8(OK) button. Select Off and press the 8(OK) button.
A: If you are using powdered laundry detergent, load it in the manual detergent dispenser after
removing the liquid detergent insert (where applicable). Powdered laundry agents or powdered color
safe bleach should be put directly into the drum. These products can be put in the empty drum before
loading or on top of the laundry after loading the washer.
A: If you simply want to use a bit more or less detergent for a single load, press the Options button and
select Detergent Level or Softener Level to adjust the level for that load. If you are using a highly
concentrated detergent or would just like to use more or less detergent or softener for every load,
see the instructions in the Default Det. Dispense or Default Soft. Dispense under Additional
Settings.
A: Use the information on the detergent packaging. Divide the total number of fluid ounces in the
container by the estimated number of loads for a medium or normal wash load. For example, if the
bottle contains 100 fl. oz. and the package states that it washes 64 medium loads then 100/64 = 1.6 fl
oz per load. If you generally use about half the manufacturer's recommended amount, set the default
to 0.8 fl oz. Do not set the ezDispense default for more than the maximum recommended amount
(for full loads). For additional assistance calculating, use the LG ThinQ app.
A: Turn off the ezDispense function and use the manual dispenser.
A: Use the manual dispenser for powdered detergents. Do not put powders in the ezDispense
reservoirs.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution
ENGLISH
• Check hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks, and splits.
• Check and tighten hose connections.
Drain hose has come out of the drain connector or is not inserted far enough.
• Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out during drain.
• For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as the drain hose flange.
For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe 1 - 2 inches past the flange.
Oversudsing of detergent
• Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent
used. HE (High-Efficiency) detergent is the only detergent recommended. The normal
amount of detergent to use is 1/4 to 1/2 of the maximum amount recommended by the
detergent manufacturer.
• Always reduce the amount of detergent if the load is small or lightly soiled, or if the water
is very soft.
• Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent
manufacturer.
Excessive sudsing Too much detergent or incorrect detergent
• If using the ezDispense function, change the dispense amount. See the ezDispense
section for more information.
• HE detergents are formulated specifically for HE (High-Efficiency) washers and contain

Odor
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Odor Some odor is caused by the rubber attached to the washing machine.
• This odor is normal for new rubber and will disappear after the machine has been run a
few times.
If the rubber door gasket and door seal area are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur
from mold or foreign substances.
• Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly and check under the door seal for small
items when unloading the washer.
Odors can occur if foreign substances are left in the drainage pump filter.
• Be sure to clean the drainage pump filter regularly.
Odors can occur if the drainage hose is not properly installed, causing siphoning (water
flowing back inside the washing machine).
• When installing the drainage hose, be sure that it doesn’t become kinked or blocked.
Using the dry function, odors can occur from lint and other laundry matter sticking to
the heater. (Dryer model only)
• This is not a malfunction.
A particular odor can occur from drying wet clothes with hot air. (Dryer model only)

notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of
the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to
resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during
the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us
only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute
between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or
entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you
and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of
arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court
action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written
demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that
are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the
procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a
copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner
described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics,
USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a
conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will
govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide,
except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the
arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this
provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any
disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable
federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand
for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000
in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as
otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any
arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the
arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering
factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator
can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your
claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by
the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will
be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously
disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise
provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails
in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration
conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic
hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the
right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a
location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or
we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can
require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no
later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by
either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-
