            Ref WT8405CB - is this washer capable of heating water?
            ByAug 6, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            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

                What’s the difference between a agitator vs a impeller
                ByJul 30, 2026
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                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.

                  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.

                  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.

                    Poor quality
                    I bought this unit and it’s barely out of warranty and top door. Plastic hinge broke the housing and the replacement is gonna cost more than the washer worth. Do not buy this poor quality product.

                        Washer was easy to install love the color just wish agitator would move faster like my old washer. Tub is huge for all my laundry needs got the matching dryer love you can have alerts sent to phone when load is done. Only downside was had to wait for washer longer to come in since got delivered the wrong product and had to return to get correct item.
                        by
                        The washer has been working well with no problems as of this writing. My wife has said on a few occasions that the clothes smell much fresher and cleaner than with the previous machine. I would also say that the agitation is more aggressive than the previous machine. One small complaint would be inside of the machine is very dark especially where the detergent and fabric softener go. Our machine is in the garage which is dark so if you are fortunate to have an inside laundry room this would not be an issue. Now for the bad, the delivery man was a complete jerk even telling me at one point that he was going to take the machine back. This is the machine that I had already paid for. He kept saying he was going to take it back. This was all brought on because my dryer has a steam function and he refused to hook it up as it was with the old machine. I told him I am the home owner and I’m authorizing him to hook it up. This is when he tells me he is taking my machine back. I told him to leave and I would hook the machine up. He again said that wasn’t allowed because he needed photos of the machine installed and working. Needless to say I was never so mad at a delivery person in my life. After paying 1000 dollars for a machine and delivery and installation I expect better. I purposely waited some time before making this review as I was so mad, I wanted the man fired for his behavior. I can only hope Home Depot reads this and gives this man a coaching and counseling so this never happens again. The customer should never be threatened in his own home with statements like I will take this machine back.
