Answered by LG Digital Customer CareHello there. The detergent dispenser of this 4.5 cu. ft. Capacity Smart Front Load Energy Star Washer with TurboWash® 360° and AI DD® Built-In Intelligence (WM5500HVA) can be removed for cleaning. Here are the steps: 1 Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord. 2 Pull the drawer straight out until it stops. 3 Press down hard on the disengage button in the middle and pull the drawer completely out. 4 Remove the inserts from the drawer. 5 Clean the inserts and drawer with warm water. 7 Use a soft cloth or brush to clean and to remove any residue. 8 Do not use soap when cleaning the drawer and inserts. 6 Wipe off any moisture with a dry towel or cloth after cleaning. 7 To clean the drawer opening, use a small, non-metal brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. 8 Replace the drawer. ^Jolly
Hello I am looking at the WM4000 and the WM5500. What are the differences between the 2?
Answered by LG Digital Customer CareHi there. Thank you for sharing your inquiry with us. We understand your situation and appreciate the opportunity to help clarify the differences between the WM5500HWA and WM4000HWA models. Both washers share a similar capacity of 4.5 cu. ft. and are equipped with LG’s Inverter Direct Drive Motor with a 10-year warranty, ensuring a reliable and efficient performance. However, there are a few key differences between them: • Washer Programs and Options: - The WM5500HWA offers a broader range of customization with 25 washer programs and 15 washer options. - The WM4000HWA, on the other hand, features 12 washer programs and 13 options. This means the WM5500HWA is designed to give you more versatility in cycle selection and advanced features like AI Wash. • User Interface and Display: - The WM5500HWA comes with touch buttons and an LCD display for an intuitive, modern experience. - The WM4000HWA uses hard buttons paired with an LED display. Your choice may depend on your preference for tactile feedback versus a touchscreen interface. • Control Panel and Aesthetics: - The WM5500HWA features a control panel with a painted steel finish, lending it a premium feel. - The WM4000HWA’s control panel is made of plastic, which might differ in durability and look. Additionally, the available finish options differ slightly: the WM5500HWA is offered in Graphite Steel and White, while the WM4000HWA is available in Black Steel and White, which could influence the overall design and match with your home décor. • Additional Features: Both models include LG’s Dial-A-Cycle™, True Balance® Anti-Vibration System, and smart features such as Wi‑Fi connectivity and SmartDiagnosis™ (v3.0). However, the enhanced programmability and touch interface on the WM5500HWA might make it the preferred option for those seeking a more advanced washing experience. Troubleshooting Tip: If you decide to compare these models in your home, we recommend performing a quick functionality test once the unit is installed. For instance, verify that the control panel buttons (or touchscreen) respond accurately and that your selected cycles start correctly. Running a diagnostic cycle or a tub clean can be a great way to ensure everything is working as expected. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wm5500hwa-front-load-washer#pdp_specs For further assistance or if you have more detailed questions regarding installation or features, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to help.
