Hi there, we appreciate your question about the WT8405CB top‑load washer, and we understand you want to confirm whether this model is capable of heating water. We’re glad to clarify this using the official LG manual. The WT8405CB does not have an internal water heater. It relies entirely on your home’s hot water supply to deliver heated wash temperatures. The manual highlights how the washer uses incoming hot water: • Your home’s water heater should supply 120–135°F (48–57°C) for proper wash performance • Water pressure must be 20–120 psi • Make sure the hot and cold hoses are connected to the correct faucets • Flush the lines after connecting to ensure correct temperature and remove debris Here’s the manual link for guidance: • https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-WT8405CB.AEBETUS?tab=1 If you need further assistance, feel free to email lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ‑Rich

The main difference between an agitator and an impeller in a top-loading washing machine is their shape and how they move clothes: an agitator uses a tall central post that twists back and forth to scrub garments, while an impeller uses a low-profile cone or disc at the bottom to create water currents that rub clothes together. An agitator provides direct mechanical scrubbing action. It works faster and is much better at removing tough, ground-in stains, but it is rougher on fabrics. An impeller relies on gentle water currents and fabric-on-fabric friction. It is much softer on delicate items and clothes, but may take longer or struggle with heavily soiled loads. An agitator takes up physical room in the center of the drum, which limits the load capacity. It also requires deep water levels to fully submerge the laundry, using more water and energy. An Impeller leaves the middle open, providing more usable space for bulky items like comforters and large loads. It uses high-efficiency technology with lower water levels and less energy...^Ivan.
