Thank you for your question! The LG 4.5 cu. ft. Ultra Large Front Load Washer, model WM3400CW washer allows you to turn the end-of-cycle chime and button sounds on or off. To adjust the sound, simply press and hold the Cold Wash button for approximately 3 seconds. This will toggle the Signal feature on or off.

    I am looking for a stackable washer, can this washer be stacked on top of a dryer?

    Answer This Question

    Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. We understand how important it is to know the proper stacking arrangement and configuration for your laundry setup. Regarding your question about stacking the LG 4.5 cu. ft. Ultra Large Front Load Washer (WM3400CW): Stacking Configuration & Requirements: ⦁ Washer Placement: Washing machines cannot be stacked on top of a dryer due to their heavy weight during spin cycles. The washer must always be installed on the bottom, with a compatible dryer stacked on top of it. ⦁ Compatible Stacking Kit: You can stack a matching 27-inch front load dryer (such as the DLE3400W or DLG3401W) on top of this washer using the LG KSTK4 Stacking Kit. View details and order the matching KSTK4 stacking kit:https://www.lg.com/us/appliances-accessories/lg-kstk4-laundry-front-load-stacking-kit If you need further assistance, feel free to email lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. —Rich

      I have this washer should there be a blue cup in the fabric softener tray. I purchased mine new and the fabric softener will not dispense into the clothes.

      Answer This Question

      Hello Tricia, thank you for reaching out to us. We understand how important it is to ensure your laundry care products dispense correctly with your LG Front Load Washer (WM3400CW). Yes, the fabric softener compartment in the dispenser drawer includes a cover cap or insert that sits over the siphon post. This cap is essential for creating the proper siphoning action that pulls the fabric softener down into the drum during the rinse cycle. If fabric softener is remaining in the tray or not dispensing, please check the following steps: Dispenser Inspection & Maintenance: ⦁ Verify the Cap: Ensure the fabric softener cover cap/insert is properly installed over the compartment post. If it is missing or loose, the liquid will not siphon correctly. ⦁ Check Fill Levels: Confirm that fabric softener is filled only up to the maximum fill line. Overfilling can prevent proper dispensing. ⦁ Dilute Concentrated Softener: Highly viscous or thick fabric softeners can leave residue and clog the siphon. Mix concentrated softeners with a little warm water before pouring them into the compartment. ⦁ Clean the Drawer: Pull the entire dispenser drawer out, remove the insert caps, and clean out any built-up residue using warm water and a soft brush. Watch our official video guide on troubleshooting when fabric softener is not dispensed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtxgcI4Wvag If you need further assistance, feel free to email lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. —Rich

          I need to replace my Model WM3370HWA washer that made it 11 years. What is a similar replacement for this model or a smaller sized model. Love all my LG appliances.
          BySep 19, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi there! We love hearing that your WM3370HWA has been part of your home for 11 years, thank you for being a longtime member of the LG family! While there isn’t a direct replacement for that model, we recommend taking a look at the LG WM4000HWA. Your current WM3370HWA has a 4.3 cu. ft. capacity, the WM4000HWA gives you a little more room at 4.5 cu. ft. while maintaining a space-conscious, closet-depth design. It also adds newer features such as TurboWash™ 360°, built-in intelligence with fabric sensing, and LG ThinQ® connectivity to help make laundry day even easier. If you’re looking for a washer that feels familiar in size while giving you some meaningful upgrades, the WM4000HWA would be a great model to consider. We hope your next LG washer serves you just as well for many years to come!

            Is this model considered HE? I know it’s energy star certified, but I don’t see HE anywhere on your machines.

            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi there, we understand you’re asking if the WM3400CW front‑load washer is considered HE, and we appreciate you checking because using the right detergent keeps your washer performing at its best. Yes — the WM3400CW is a High‑Efficiency (HE) washer. All LG front‑load washers are designed as HE machines, even if “HE” isn’t printed on the product page. They use low‑water, high‑efficiency wash cycles and require HE detergent for proper cleaning and suds control.

              Can you use the electric dryer without a pedestal 
              ByJul 16, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hi Mamalise, we understand you’re asking if you can use your electric dryer without a pedestal, and we appreciate you checking because having the right setup helps everything feel easy and comfortable at home. You can definitely use the DLE3400W electric dryer without a pedestal. The pedestal is optional and only adds height or storage—your dryer is fully designed to operate on its own. A quick helpful step: ⦁ Make sure the dryer is level on all four adjustable legs, since proper leveling keeps performance smooth and quiet.

                How long should normal wash take in minutes

                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Hi Joe, we understand you’re checking how long the Normal wash should take on your WM3400CW, and we appreciate how closely you’re getting to know your LG washer — it’s a great way to keep your laundry running smoothly. On this model, the Normal cycle usually runs about 60–70 minutes. The washer uses load sensing to adjust time based on fabric type, soil level, and load size, so slight variations are completely normal and part of its efficient LG design.

                    Great washer, for 4 years
                    I love the way it washes. When we first got the washer it was soo quiet.! It washed everything so clean too. And then it started..after 4 years...to sound like a Cement mixer. Now it is dying. The repair person says the bearings are shot. Cost for repairs is high enough that I'm just going to buy another one. I do like it that much.

                    Hi, Mel. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your LG Washer. It’s great to hear how much you enjoyed the clean wash performance and how quiet the washer was when you first brought it home. Your note about appreciating it enough to consider another one truly stands out. You also mentioned the cement‑mixer sound after four years and the bearing issue leading to high repair costs, and that insight is very helpful in understanding what you’re experiencing now.

                      Ok but a couple probs
                      One problem we’ve had is the tray for liquid soap, etc. is always full of water unless you gently tip it upwards and wait a couple minutes for it to empty. No big deal. The bigger problem is the gasket around the door is always full of moldy gunk black disgusting film. This is OK too if you’re willing to leave the door open to allow the interior to dry, and wipe the gasket after each use. This actually doesn’t help so I scrub with bleach and/or oxi after every wash. Pro tip: buy another model or brand that eliminates this step.

                        Violent Washer Door Vibrations and Leaks Water.
                        Stay away from this washer! The front loading door vibrates violently during wash or rinse cycles and leaks water after just two weeks of use.

                        Thanks for your feedback, Dan. We want your WM3400CW washer to run smoothly and reliably. Excessive vibration and water leakage can often be resolved with a few setup checks. Violent shaking may be caused by shipping bolts still being in place, an unbalanced load, or an uneven floor. Water leaks are commonly due to door seal issues or incorrect detergent use. Here are some steps to help: Vibration Troubleshooting ⦁ Remove shipping bolts: These must be taken out before use. Check the back of the unit. ⦁ Level the washer: Use a level tool and adjust the feet to ensure the washer is stable. ⦁ Balance the load: Mix large and small items evenly and avoid overloading. More vibration tips: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washing-machine-troubleshooting-washer-vibration-issues--20152349186279TWW Leak Troubleshooting ⦁ Inspect the door gasket: Wipe it clean and check for debris or damage. ⦁ Use HE detergent: Excess suds from regular detergent can cause leaks. ⦁ Check hose connections: Ensure inlet and drain hoses are tightly secured.

                          OK but no backlight on the control panel
                          I converted from from top load to front load washers with this machine. There is no longer any top load machine with a base frame that would stabilize the machine and have a quieter operation. I own this LG front load for 1 year so far and I am pleased with the washer's very quiet operation. Lack of an agitator means less punishment on my clothes. Even with the laundry door open, I can hardly hear the machine operating, with minimal floor vibration. Clothes come out almost dry with the high rotating speed around 1300 rpm, compared to 700 rpm for a front load machine. The machine works very well. I gave 4 stars because the control panel is not backlit so it is hard to see the settings. Without the backlight, I thought the washer was defective! I would have liked a setting of spin only - for items handwashed and needing a good spin only

It’s incredible to read that your previous washer provided over 15 years of reliable service, and we’re confident that your new replacement model will deliver the same dependability and performance.

                              Do not purchase this model.
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very disappointed with this purchase. It barely wets the clothes and all it does is literally spinning the clothes almost dry! Even though I called LG, but it is not helpful at all. I would really love to return it if possible.

We understand your concern about dealing with the performance issues on your LG Washer (WM3400CW) model, especially when it comes to inadequate wetting of the clothes and excessive spinning.

We recommend checking the water supply hose for any kinks or obstructions that might be preventing proper water flow into the washer. Additionally, try adjusting the settings to ensure you're using the correct cycle for the load type, as this can also impact how wet the clothes get.

                                Cleans like a dream
                                Here’s a positive review of your LG washing machine: I’ve been thoroughly impressed with my LG washing machine. It’s incredibly quiet during operation, which makes it perfect for open-concept spaces or households where noise is a concern. Its efficiency is another standout feature—each load is cleaned thoroughly, leaving clothes fresh and spotless. The wash cycles typically take around 75–90 minutes, which might feel lengthy to some, but the quality of the clean makes it worthwhile. Maintenance has been hassle-free, too. By leaving the door and detergent drawer open after each use to allow airflow, I’ve had no issues with odor or mold, which is a common concern for front-load washers. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-designed machine that delivers on performance. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a combination of quality and care for their laundry!

                                    Good basic washer
                                    I wanted a good basic washer & didn't feel that I needed any fancy things like steam or an app on my phone. This works fairly well but a part of me misses dials that I can physically turn as you can set things a lot faster than this digital display. The washer cleans everything very well & even on medium spin cycle wrings a lot of water out to make drying faster. I wish there was a way to change the defaults when I turn it on because I never use the default that LG created.
