      How do I add extra water to certain loads (such as Bulky)? I try to press the Extra Plus button but it doesn't work with the Bulky setting!! Most of the time my loads (any setting) are barely covered with water!

      Answer This Question

      The Water Plus option on the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.9 cu.ft. Mega Capacity Front Control TurboWash™ Washer, Model # WT1701CW can be used to add extra water to wash cycles, however, if the washing machine reaches its maximum water level, the Water Plus button will have no effect. You cannot select the Water Plus option in the Tub Clean and Bulky cycles (Page 26 in your owner's manual). It is available for the Perm. Press, Towels, Power Cleanse, Speed Wash, Wool, Delicates, Normal, Heavy Duty, Bright Whites, and Oxi Sanitize™ cycles as shown in the charts on pages 20-21 of your owner's manual for the washer...^IFV

        Most of the time the washer leaves white residue on my black clothing.  I use HE clothes soap and very little, maybe a tablespoon and half.  I have to rub the washed clothing together or use a sock to rub off the residue.  I have cleaned the tub.
        ByJan 15, 2021

        Answer This Question

        There is a variety of reasons why you get visible residue left on clothes that have been freshly washed. It can be white specks or streaks left on dark clothes or blue or green residue left on light-colored clothes. Are you using liquid or powdered HE detergent and what temperature setting are you using? If you are using powdered detergent, it could be it is not dissolving fully. If you are washing in cold water, especially in really cold climates, a powdered detergent may not dissolve completely. The same steps should be used with single-dose packets and some liquid detergents. How long have you had the washing machine and how often do you clean the dispenser trays? The dispensers may be clogged with detergent or fabric softener (even liquid products will clump) that is not dissolving. Page 29 in your owner's manual has instructions for how to remove and clean the dispenser trays. Washing a full load of laundry is a good thing to save time and money. However, cramming too many items into a washer doesn't leave room for the soil and residue to be flushed away. If you have never cleaned your washer, it can have soil, minerals, and detergent residue that is redepositing on clothes. Think of it as the same as the soap scum in your shower. Because of the low volume of water, you must clean an HE washer monthly You may also have an issue with hard water in your area...^IFV

            After every wash cycle (including extra rinse), I am left with dark lint residue on my clothes.  I don’t use a lot of detergent and we use the cleaning tablets once a month. It’s not soap residue...it’s definitely wet lint clumps.  Advice??

                  HATE! Gross Brown Residue which Nothing Resolves
                  I HATE this washer with a passion. Nothing I do can get rid of the brown residue that coats my items when a cycle ends. I've done all the recommended steps with vinegar soaking, tub cleaning cycles, Affresh tabs repeatedly and religiously without any improvement. As someone who struggles with skin infections I cannot tell you how much I'm upset by this. I've even tried using the WaterPlus option to see if it would help - nope. Here's a photo of today's experiment. I washed a white blanket that was clean (had washed yesterday in someone else's machine). Here is the result. Also, the inability of this washer to even wet all of an item being washed is another issue. The positives: it fit down the stairs to our laundry room.

                  How to Get the Best Results from a HE Top Load Washer: Always use a laundry detergent with the HE label. These products are formulated to create fewer suds which is important since so much less water is used. More is not better when there is less water in the mix. Most loads only require one to two teaspoons of HE liquid laundry detergent or one single-dose pack. If you do not use the automatic detergent dispensers, place the detergent in the bottom of the drum BEFORE you add your dirty clothes. All single dose laundry packs must be placed in the bottom of the washer - never the dispenser. This will give the detergent the longest amount of time in the water to help get your clothes clean. When you load a HE top load washer, do not pile the clothes in the center. Evenly distribute the dirty clothes around the edges of the wash plate. This will help balance the load more quickly and speed the wash cycle. For best performance, load clothes as shown in manual on page 14. Load clothes loosely, and do not load clothes over the maximum guideline on the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean. Drop us a line on Twitter at @LGUSSupport, on Facebook www.facebook.com/LGSupportUSA if you need any other assistance.
                    Great set for a good price
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new LG washer and dryer. They run so quietly, you forget they are even on until you hear the chimes go off informing you they are done. The washer had a load sensor so it does not over filling with water which saves on The water bill.The dryer has a moisture sensor, shuts off when dry. No wasted energy!

                      I ordered this online and the process was very simple. The men who delivered, installed and took away my old washer were lovely. I have never had a "BRAND NEW" washing machine before and I must say this machine has TOTALLY lived up to the review given it by Consumer Reports. There are lots of features and settings, but in all reality I don't use that many. The drum is HUGE and when spinning it doesn't move around at all. The machine is quiet. I like that it "senses" the load and determines the amount of water to add. The spin cycle does a very efficient job of taking the water out of the items. This cuts down on my dryer time a lot. Very pleased with purchase.

                      Diamond glass lid
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Diamonds are extremely hard so This is an appropriate name for the material. We just got our new LG top load washer and dryer a couple of weeks ago. They are so easy to use, it's almost fun doing laundry now. This morning I was storing away a case of dog food in a cabinet above the washer I dropped a 13 oz can of dog food a distance of about 15-18 inches directly above the lid of the washer . I smashed into the lid and didn't even leave so much a mark or scratch on the lid. I was quite released and amazed at the results. That's tough stuff.

                          The biggest regret ever
                          I purchased this washer to replace a washer that I had for ten years,agitator, and still worked fine but we were moving, Within the first four months I started getting the UE code on almost every load. Someone noted below that you have to baby sit this machine... She took the words right out of my mouth, As we speak my machine has been running for 90 minutes and still is UE trying to rebalance itself. I have now owned for 2 years and am just going to cut my loss and replace. I did purchase on an Americam Express. Going to see if they can help me all out with LG. I will say one positive thing..,,,when it finally finishes washing.... the clothes are beautifully cleaned. UGHHHHH and guess what it just stopped now because after 90 minutes it just couldn't rebalance. So guess what that means the dryer needs to now get an extra work out. HUNK OF JUNK

                          Functional, fancy, and definitely not hard on the eyes.
                          First of all, I'm an LG fan. I use their higher end ultra wide computer displays and I own several of their TVs including a beautiful 65" 4K set. I am impressed by their brand and the quality of the products I own. This washer is probably the best washing machine purchase I've made. I've bought standard washers and even a front loading with all sorts of push buttons. The presets are handy and convenient and nearly all that are ever used. But, if you like complicated like ordering at Starbucks, then there are plenty of buttons to press to customize your wash. The capacity of this beast is enormous. I'm not that short at 5'8", but I almost have to jump in to reach the bottom. The "efficiency" of the unit does mean that washes can take a little longer, but they are worth it. I certainly don't regret the purchase. My favorite things about the device: it is QUIET!!, no knobs, great view of the work its doing through the glass top, the soft-auto-closing glass lid, the just-fancy-enough music it plays when a load is finished. Lastly, I purchased the set several weeks ahead of my closing on my first home. Not only was this not a problem, they delivered just as promised with advanced notice, and friendly fast setup. Great product and service. This kind of stuff makes me happy. Two things that could be improved (just to nit-pick): 1) after ordering, the order status seems to get stuck in processing until even after its delivered. Better transient status codes would have been better, but without issue otherwise. 2) as a feature comment, this line-up would have been perfect if it had support for home-automation systems like SmartThings or other z-wave/ZigBee systems.
