- Key Specs
- Color Finish: Black
- Product Height: 43 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 27 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 28 7/16 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Height With Door Open: 57 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
- Capacity: 4.8 cubic feet
- High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
- Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
- Washing Mechanism: Agitator (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
- Agitator Type: Quad-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)
- Washer Load Type: Top load
- Matching Dryer Model Number: DLE8200L, DLG8201L
- App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)

Outfitted with features you’d expect to find on higher-end models, this LG top load washer is an instant upgrade for any laundry space. Easily reach items at the bottom of the tub and leave no sock behind with LG’s ergonomic EasyUnload angled front. Take control with the electronic dial and touch panel or select AI Wash and let built-in intelligence choose just the right settings for you. A choice of finishes and sleek, modern design make this washer an easy choice.
- 4.8 cu. ft. Mega Capacity: Say never again to never-ending piles of laundry—this mega capacity washer fits more clothes in every load and helps you power through laundry day in less time. With 4.8 cu. ft. capacity, you can fit a king-size comforter and more in a single load, for big time savings every week. Get the room and flexibility to clean in fewer loads.
- EasyUnload: The key to our EasyUnload design is hidden beneath the sleek glass lid. We’ve angled the washer front for a more comfortable, ergonomic reach. Now you can easily retrieve stray items from the bottom of the tub—with no sacrifice in capacity.
- Built-In Intelligence: AI Fabric Sensor / Smart Pairing: Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles—built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right wash motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care. With Smart Pairing, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle¹, making it the ultimate laundry hack.
- 4-Way Agitator: Specially designed fins create a unique 4-way wash action that moves clothes left and right, up and down for a thorough clean that’s still kind to clothes.
- LG ThinQ Smart Technology: The ThinQ app offers control and convenience for smart LG appliances to help you simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. Manage and monitor your washer remotely, track and download cycles, connect with Google or Alexa voice assistants, and access smart diagnosis, customer support, and much more.
- Sleek, Modern Design: You’ve never seen a top load washer like this. The flat front design and sleek electronic controls with LED display make it easy to get laundry day dialed in. With style that’s right at home in 1st or 2nd floor locations, the SlamProof lid is a must-have for gentle, smooth and quiet closing, every time.
- ThinQ UP: ThinQ UP enabled smart appliances receive continual software updates for new downloadable features and enhancements sent wirelessly to the appliance. Choose which features you want and customize your appliance based on your lifestyle and personal preferences.
- ThinQ Care: Available within the LG ThinQ app, ThinQ Care sends proactive usage, maintenance, and diagnostic alerts to your smartphone, notifying you of potential issues and helping you keep your smart LG appliances running smoothly.
- TurboWash Technology: A powerful jet spray, plus the tub and motor that rotate independently and in opposite directions, creates a powerful water flow that causes garments to rub against each other throughout the cycle for enhanced washing performance.
- 6Motion Technology: 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. Options range from a scrubbing PowerMotion that helps to dissolve stains to the gentle Swinging motion that’s ideal for delicates.
- Deep Fill: LG top load washers use precise wash motions to ensure clothes move efficiently through the detergent and water mix and come out ultra-clean, all while saving energy and money. But if you decide you want to add extra water to the occasional load, LG gives you the option to get your (deep) fill. Press Deep Fill at the start of any cycle to select the maximum water level. Cycle already started?
- Direct Drive Motor 10-Year Limited Warranty: Backed by a 10-year limited warranty, the LG Direct Drive Motor delivers peace of mind with every load. Fewer moving parts means less noise and vibration, greater stability and durable performance you can depend on for years to come.
- ENERGY STAR Certified: This LG high efficiency washer uses far less water and energy than a conventional washer for savings that add up with each load. Get additional savings with load-sensing technology that adjusts water levels and wash times or by adding the ColdWash option to almost any cycle.
- True Balance Anti-Vibration System and LoDecibel Quiet Operation: Run the washer whenever you want— LG 's True Balance Anti-Vibration and LoDecibel systems are designed for quiet operation that keeps even big loads in balance to reduce washer noise and vibration. A must-have for main-floor or second-floor laundry rooms.
- TubClean System: With the LG TubClean system, you don’t have to worry about mold, mildew or musty odors. Simply select the TubClean cycle, add liquid bleach or other cleaner and let the washer do the work to thoroughly clean and dry the tub, door and gaskets. Run it every month or so to help keep your washer—and your laundry—clean and fresh.
- Quick Wash Cycle: Let's face it: Sometimes, you just don't have time to wait for a standard wash cycle. When you're in a rush, LG's Quick Wash Cycle gets small lightly soiled loads refreshed in just 15 minutes.
- Requires fill hose (not included): For standard hook-up upon delivery.
