Mega capacity handles more clothes in every load, paired with TurboWash3D technology that delivers a powerful clean in less time than ever. With the ThinQ app, you can get alerts on your smartphone the minute clothes are clean, and control key washer features from anywhere, at any time. And with Smart Pairing, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle, making it the ultimate laundry hack.

  • The deep clean you already expect from LG top load washers, plus a deep fill option to add extra water to any cycle with the touch of a button
  • 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
  • Backed by a 10-year limited warranty, the LG direct drive motor delivers peace of mind with every load

      Does this washer have a clean out
      ByOct 7, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Please pardon us, but we will need some clarification about what a "clean out" is. The ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 5.3 cu. ft. Mega Capacity Smart Top Load Washer with 4-Way® Agitator, EasyUnload™ & AI Sensing, Model # WT8405CW, features a dedicated Tub Clean cycle, which LG highly recommends you run as a monthly maintenance cycle to eliminate detergent residue, prevent hard water scale, and keep the drum smelling fresh. Is that what you are referring to as a 'clean out'?...^Ivan.

        Can you override the water level
        ByOct 7, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The automatic water level adjustment on the Energy Star® Certified LG 5.5 cu. Ft. SMART Top Load Washer in Matte Black with Impeller, Easy Unload tub, and TurboWash3D™ Technology, Model # WT8400CB, can be overridden and customized using the built-in overrides. It defaults to using AI sensing to weigh your laundry and automatically adjust to the lowest optimal water level, so if you want to bypass this and add more water, force the washing machine to ignore the auto-sensor and fill the tub completely, you can use the Deep Fill button. Before starting, select your wash cycle, then press the Deep Fill button at the start of the cycle to fill the tub to its maximum capacity. This override is a one-time setting. Once the load is complete, the washer will automatically revert back to its high-efficiency auto-sensing mode for the next wash. If the machine is already running and you notice it didn't add enough water, you cannot adjust the buttons while the wash cycle is running. To add water mid-cycle, you can press the Start/Pause button to pause the operation, press the Deep Fill button, then press tart/Pause again to resume the cycle. The Tub Clean or Eco-conscious modes have built-in efficiency limits and may restrict you from using the override functions...^Ivan.

            How can I wash on cold on the normal wash? It doesn’t let me change it
            ByOct 2, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            While the Normal cycle for the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG defaults to a warm water setting to optimize standard detergent performance, the machine allows you to manually override it, and you can absolutely run a cold wash for the Normal cycle. To change the temperature on the machine's control panel, turn the Dial-A-Cycle knob to select the Normal cycle after turning the washer on. You must select the cycle first. If you press the temperature button before choosing the cycle, the washer will automatically overwrite your choice and revert to its warm default. Press the Temp. button on the touch panel repeatedly until Cold or Tap Cold illuminates, then press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. This model features multiple temperature tiers. Selecting Cold may occasionally mix in microscopic flashes of warm water to keep the tub stable around 65°F–75°F (ensuring your detergent activates properly). Selecting Tap Cold uses 100% unheated water straight from your home's cold intake valve. When you manually drop the temperature down to cold, the washer's built-in intelligence may automatically extend the wash cycle time by 5 to 10 minutes. The machine adds extra agitation time to compensate for the fact that stains lift more slowly in cold water than they do in warm water. The machine is legally required to reset itself to factory efficiency baselines every time it powers down. You will need to press the Temp. button to select cold every time you start a new load of laundry...^Ivan.

                Answer This Question

                The Energy Star® Certified LG 5.5 cu. Ft.

Wi-Fi functionality is completely optional on this model. You can access all core washing features, change settings, select cycles, and fully manage your laundry directly from the machine's physical control panel without ever connecting it to the internet...^Ivan.

                    I've had this washer for a little while now, and I'm really happy with it. It cleans clothes well, even on the Normal cycle. My laundry comes out cleaner than it did with my old washer. It's quiet and holds a lot of clothes, so I do fewer loads. I also like that it sends a notification to my phone when the cycle is done. My only complaint is that the glass lid is so dark you can't really see inside while it's washing.

                    Washes clothes great and quietly. Delivery personnel weren’t so great. I paid to have my old washing machine hauled away. It was leaking sludge and had sludge on the bottom. I explicitly explained the problem with it and that care had to be taken not to set it anywhere in the house once it’s on the hand truck. I asked before they brought the new one inside for them to set it on the driveway because they would not have room for both the new and the old at the same time, they should remove the old one first. He didn’t want to listen and did it his way (either out if laziness or because they are pressed for time with many deliveries scheduled in a day). Well, he set the new washing machine down just past the utility room and went in the utility room to get the old one. He didn’t have room to maneuver the old one out of the utility room and turn because he had the new washer in the way and ended up setting down the old one on my carpet to reposition the hand truck. He left a sludge mark on my carpet.

                    Hi, WARREN! Thanks for sharing your experience with us about the LG Washer (WT8400CW). We’re glad to hear the washer performs quietly and cleans well, and we truly appreciate the detailed explanation of your delivery experience. You clearly communicated the condition of your old unit and the need to avoid placing it anywhere inside the home, yet the delivery personnel proceeded in a way that caused the sludge‑covered washer to be set down on your carpet, leaving a stain. We understand how that is, and we’ll be sharing your comments with our product team to help improve the overall delivery process and customer care moving forward. You can explore the full feature list and support details here:

                    Broke after a year and half and LG won't be accountable
                    Like many other people, I am having problems with the hinge and it cracked the top casing of the washing machine. I wish I had read these other reviews before buying this unit from LG. I called LG, and they said they wouldn't fix it since it is a year and a half old, and they don't really stand behind their products beyond one year. I won't buy LG products ever again. I went to Home Depot to see if they would fix it, but they said it is an LG problem, and since it is past warranty, there's nothing they would do. Not sure if I will buy appliances from Home Depot again, since I want them to last more than a year and a half.

                      Hello, Steve. Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with your LG WT8405CW Top Load Washer. We understand how important it is for your washer to operate reliably, and we’re here to help guide the next steps.

                      If the top door hinge has broken, the following information may help clarify what to do next:

                      1. Do not use the washer

                      Avoid operating the washer until the hinge area is inspected to prevent additional damage.

                      2. Determine if the damage is due to physical impact or stress on the hinge area

                      Carefully check the lid and surrounding housing to see whether the break appears to come from an external force or from stress on the hinge connection.

                      For warranty concerns, you may contact Home Depot Customer Service at 1 (800) 466‑3337.
