About This Product

Always been a fan of top load washers, LG brings great wash performance, time-saving, and-energy-saving innovations to the classic top load washer design. Thanks to the LG Direct Drive Motor rotating independently from the tub mechanism, they can spin in different directions and create a powerful water flow. That means an enhanced but gentler clean with more room to do laundry in fewer loads.

Highlights

  • TurboDrum Technology simulates the agitator effect of traditional top load washers, without the wear and tear on your clothes that comes with it
  • This LG high efficiency top load washer uses far less water and energy than a conventional washer for savings that add up with each load
  • The LG TrueBalance anti-vibration system is designed to reduce washer noise and vibration for smooth, quiet performance in any room of the house even if it's on another floor
  • Based on the cycle you select, LG 6Motion technology uses up to 6 different wash motions, each designed to get clothes cleaner and help them last longer
  • There's no need for laundry to be noisy. The LG LoDecibel motor: chances are you may not even notice it
  • Backed by a 10-year limited warranty, the LG Direct Drive Motor delivers peace of mind with every load
  • Troubleshoot quickly and efficiently with SmartDiagnosis
  • Unlike tubs made from porcelain or plastic, the full stainless steel tub avoids the chips and nicks that can snag fabrics and ruin expensive clothing
  • ColdWash technology penetrates deep into fabrics, for cold water savings with warm water performance
  • TubClean Cycle thoroughly cleans and dries the washtub to help keep it fresh
  • Saving water doesn't mean compromising cleaning power. At least not when you have the SmartRinse Jet Spray System. The tub quickly spins as a powerful water jet sprays into it, forcing the water to penetrate through the clothes for effective rinsing
  • Enjoy the convenience of a clear lid that allows you to watch your washer in action, uninterrupted. And closing it is safe and quiet thanks to our smooth-operating hydraulic hinge
  • Let's face it: Sometimes, you just don't have time to wait for a standard wash cycle. When you need clean clothes fast, LG's SpeedWash Cycle can have small loads clean and fresh in just 15 minutes
  • No need to watch the clock while you wash. EasyDispense takes the guesswork out of doing laundry by allowing you to pour in your detergent, bleach and fabric softener all at once, while releasing them at just the right time
  • Big washer, but that doesn't mean you have to do a big load every time. Our SenseClean System automatically sets the water level and wash time for each load based on the weight
  • Let us take the guesswork out of doing the laundry. With features like our Dual LED Display indicators and intuitive Dial-A-Cycle controls, you'll find the right setting every time

    What cleaning is required for the inside drum? what other cleaning should be done periodically thanks gary
    ByMar 22, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hi, Gary. We understand your inquiry regarding the maintenance and cleaning for your LG WT7100CW top load washer. To clean the inside drum, we recommend running the Tub Clean cycle with a commercially available tub cleaner or a mix of water and bleach to remove any residue or buildup from the agitator and wash plate. To maintain the overall performance of your WT7100CW, you should periodically remove and rinse the detergent dispenser drawer and wipe down the lid and top edge of the drum with a soft cloth to prevent mold or odor development. You can find more detailed cleaning instructions and a maintenance schedule for your washer at https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-top-load-washer-cleaning-and-maintenance-guide--20152385368911. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com if you need further assistance on inquiries and questions. ^James

      The jingle doesn't work when I turn the selection knob or when the wash has ended. How can I fix this situation? I don't see anything on the pannel board regarding signal

      Answer This Question

      Hi Ada, we appreciate you reaching out, and we understand wanting the jingle and cycle tones working again on your WT7100CW. This model does have a Signal option, but it’s not printed on the main knob—it’s accessed through the Options buttons. One helpful step is pressing and holding the Signal button for 3 seconds to toggle the chime back on. If the tones still don’t play, unplugging the washer for 30 seconds can reset the control board and restore sound. You can review the full model details here: https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wt7100cw-top-load-washer If you need further assistance, feel free to email lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ‑LG Digital Care Team ^Rich

        We have grit in the drum. I’ve cleaned the drum completely, but it keeps occurring.
        ByMay 18, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hi there. Grit in your LG top-load washer tub can be caused by mineral deposits from hard water or even leftover detergent residue. We recommend checking the water for hard water and the drain filter for debris. We also recommend running a tub clean cycle. Check out these tips here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-how-to-clean-the-tub-of-your-lg-washing-machine--20150635948425. If this persists after these troubleshooting steps, private message us on social media @LGUSSupport with your contact details​. We'll be happy to continue finding a solution. ^David​

          Do your washer models such as WT 7150CW require (or do you recommend) a surge strip to protect the electronics against electrical surges or variances?
          ByNov 7, 2024
          2 Answers | 
          Answer This Question

          Hello, Paul091952. The manual for the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 5.0 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity Top Load Washer with TurboDrum™ Technology, Model # WT7150CW, and for other LG Top Load and Front Load Washers instructs that the power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer. of either side of the washer so you can plug the washer into a dedicated, properly grounded 3-wire receptacle. We do not have any cautions or recommendations about using a surge protector with our washers. You can plug a washing machine into a surge protector, but the capacity of both the protector and the washing machine will determine this. Not every surge protector can handle the load of your washing machine, so you have to select a compatible surge protector based on its specific ratings. A general rule of thumb is not to use surge protectors for high-powered appliances such as your washing machine. But using a surge protector safeguards your washing machine against unpredictable electrical surges, so the decision to use one is entirely at your discretion...^Ivan.

          By|Nov 7, 2024

            Hey there! For the WT7150CW and other washing machines, we don’t recommend using a surge protector. It’s best to plug the washer directly into a grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Surge protectors and power strips are generally designed for low-wattage devices and can overheat when used with larger appliances like washers, which could lead to safety concerns. To protect your appliances, you might consider a whole-house surge protector, GFCI outlets, or simply unplugging during severe storms. ^ Diego

              How much water is used during a regular cycle? How about a "speed wash" cycle?

              Answer This Question

              Hey Tracy. The LG WT7100CW top-load washer is designed to be energy- and water-efficient, as it is ENERGY STAR qualified, meaning it exceeds federal energy and water conservation standards. This washer has sensors that determine the weight of the laundry and how much water needs to be added for every wash. Every load is unique and does not use the same amount of water. For more questions, private message us on social media @LGUSSupport. We're always happy to help! ^David

              By|Oct 1, 2024

                Hello, Tracy Ann. The LG 4.5 cu. Ft. Top Load Washer, Model # WT7100CW, automatically adjusts the water level to the type and size of your load. Unlike older Top Load washers that had a fixed water consumption for each wash cycle, on this washer, when you press the Start/Pause button to begin a wash cycle, the lid locks, and the washer agitates briefly without water to measure the weight of the load to determine how much water to use for the load size...^Ivan.

                  Hello, Tina Rae. Like any other washing machine, the drain hose for the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 4.5 cu. Ft. Top Load Washer, Model # WT7100CW, is designed to expel dirty water after the wash cycle is completed. If there is any lint in the wash water, that will also be expelled through the drain hose along with the water. Ivan.

                    Answer This Question

                    Hello, LadyDuchess. The LG 4.5 cu. Ft. Top-load washer, Model # WT7100CW, has a maximum fill line, and clothes should fit loosely under it. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer. Do not press down on items while stacking them in the tub. Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean...^Ivan.

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had it 3 years and it literally just blew up. The top separated from the bottom and it blew out the closet doors. It pulled the washer lines out of the wall.

                        Absolute garbage product and garbage company!
                        Garbage washing machine and garbage company. Failed in less than three years. Idiot tech showed up for five minutes and said it wasn’t fixable without even trying. Everything is fixable! LG just doesn’t want to fix it and screws over their customers with junk products. Will never buy another LG product again and will tell everyone I know not to waste their time on a company that makes garbage products! If I could give be zero stars, I would.

                          Having black flecks on clothes and tub.
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great machine, we have it since 4 years now, without any trouble. Since the last month we're left with black flecks on the clothes and the tub, like some kind of residue in the washer. We've run the tub cleaning cycle with the Glisten (washing machine cleaner), but the problem remains. We've also tried 1 liter of white vinegar + 2 tablespoon of bicarbonate with the cleaning cycle, and the problem still persist. We just can't get rid of these flecks.

                            Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG WT7100CW washer. We understand the frustration of having the pause button stop working after the warranty period expired. Based on your feedback, it seems there may be an issue with the control board or motherboard of the unit. One troubleshooting step you can try is to reset the control board by unplugging the washer from the power source for at least 5 minutes. This may help resolve the issue with the pause button not functioning properly. Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport with your model number and a brief description of the issue. Our team will be happy to further troubleshoot the problem and explore possible solutions or repair options for you. We appreciate your patience and understanding. —Renzo
                              Eats my clothing
                              For the most part, this machine does an OK job. Every time I take clothing out it is completely twisted around all the other items and I have to untangle and shake out everything. Periodically it eats clothing. I am very careful to not overload the machine and it still shred things.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned this machine for a couple of years. Half the time it doesn’t seem to use enough water since clothes don’t get fully submerged. I recently installed Flume on my water meter and much to my horror the amount of water being used for one load of laundry is ridiculous. I just did a large load set on bedding using cold water and my meter indicates I used 98.7 gallons. This is for one load of laundry. Not only that but the frame around the glass on the top closing lid cracked in 3 places with a 4th hairline break.

                                I am so happy with this washing machine. I love all the cycles with the times which is really helpful. It’s quiet, it has a dispenser for both fabric softener and liquid detergent. Also, it does not bounce across the room while in the spin cycle especially with bulky items. There are numerous options so you can wash items the way you like to and not the way the manufacturer wants you to! When my dryer finally gives out, I plan on buying an LG dryer! Thanks for a great product!

                                I purchased this washer in July, 2020. It is not my favorite washer that I have had to begin with. Within the past several months I am left with brown flecks on my clothes and residue in the washer. Upon investigation I find this is a design flaw with this washer. I have run the tub clean which only minimally helps for a short time. I had a LG front loader that I loved, but bought this washer for a new home because we had no room to leave a front loader door open.

                                  I’ve had this for a year now and from the first wash it has left lint all over my clothes. The matching dryer catches drawstrings and twists up my clothes. I can’t avoid drying because the washer leaves lint all over everything so I have to dry. This is also not good for clothes that need to be like dried. I’ve never had issues like this of 25 years of doing laundry until buying this LG set.
