Full-size and fully featured, with the washer on the bottom and dryer on top, the sleek single unit LG WashTower takes up half the space, giving you room to add a sink, a folding table or whatever you like. But unlike conventional stacked pairs, LG’s Center Control panel is perfectly positioned with both washer and dryer controls at just the right height. Built-in intelligence makes laundry less of a chore by taking out the guesswork, while top-of-the-line innovations put advanced cleaning power within reach.
Ultra Large Capacity 4.5 cu.ft. Washer and 7.4 cu.ft. Dryer (WashTower)
Get It All Done In Less Time. Ultra Large Capacity (4.5 cu. ft. in the washer and 7.4 cu. ft. in the dryer) means you have even more room to do laundry in fewer loads.
Single Unit WashTower Design¹
This vertical laundry solution puts everything within reach. Full-size capacity and features in half the space¹, with a centralized control panel for the easiest access ever.
Built-In Intelligence
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/dry motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care.
Activate Smart Learner in the ThinQ app, and WashTower will remember your preferred settings, from wash temp to spin speed to dry level—so you don’t have to. With Smart Pairing, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle, making it the ultimate laundry hack.
ThinQ Care
Keep your appliances running smoothly with ThinQ Care, now in the ThinQ app. Get notifications about usage, maintenance, plus early diagnosis right on your phone. ThinQ Care will help you understand your appliance needs, avoid potential problems, and keep your appliance running its best.
Advanced washing and drying
From ultra-large capacity to high innovations, the LG WashTower delivers the advanced cleaning performance you need. TurboWash 360° powers through larger loads in less time, thanks to five jets with variable sprays that deliver a complete clean in under 30 minutes².
The Allergiene wash cycle goes beyond everyday cleaning, using the power of steam to remove common household allergens such as dust, pet dander and pollen in fabrics by more than 95%.³
Do more than dry—TurboSteam technology in the dryer refreshes clothes in between washes as well as children’s toys, decorative pillows and more.
AAFA Certified LG Washer
AAFA certified LG washers with the Allergiene Cycle use the power of steam to remove over 95%³ of dust, pet dander and pollen.
ThinQ Technology with ThinQ Care
The ThinQ App controls laundry remotely and ThinQ Care sends maintenance tips and alerts.
Tempered Glass Doors with Trim
LG front load washers and dryers are among the first to use tempered glass doors for a sleek, stylish look that resists shock and scratches. Complementary matte black door trims and nature green finish enhance the premium feel.
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
Get additional savings that add up with each load without sacrificing performance.
FlowSense Duct Clogging and Lint Filter Indicators
FlowSense Duct Clogging and Lint Filter Indicators tell when your ducts and filter need cleaning of lint buildup, improve dryer performance for greater efficiency and lower utility bills, and give worry-free operation with fewer service calls.
NeveRust Stainless Steel Tub
Unlike porcelain or plastic tubs, LG NeveRust Stainless Steel Tubs avoid the chips and nicks that can snag fabrics and ruin clothing. Durable surface actually gets smoother over time and keeps your washer and dryer looking like new, even after years of use.
TubClean System
With the LG TubClean system, you don’t have to worry about mold, mildew or musty odors. Select the TubClean cycle, add liquid bleach or other cleaner and let the washer work to thoroughly clean and dry the tub, door and gaskets.
TrueBalance Anti-Vibration System
Noisy, out-of-balance loads can disrupt your laundry routine. LG helps you wash in peace with the TrueBalance anti-vibration system that keeps even big loads in balance to reduce washer noise and vibration. A must-have for main- or second-floor laundry rooms.
LoDecibel Quiet Operation
Run the washer or dryer whenever you want, without interrupting naptime or your favorite show. The LG WashTower is designed for quiet operation, from the motor to the cabinet to individual components.
Wrinkle Care Option
When you hate wrinkles but can’t be there to remove clothes as soon as they’re dry, select the Wrinkle Care option before starting. The dryer will periodically tumble the load for up to 3 hours after the cycle is done or until the door is opened to help keep wrinkles at bay.
SpeedWash 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 SpeedWash Cycle gets small lightly soiled loads refreshed in just 15 minutes.
¹Half the functional floor space.
²Based on independent testing comparing models WKEX200/WKGX201 and WM3900 in normal cycle with TurboWash Option, 10 lb. load (June 2020)
³Based on certification by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)

- A: AnswerThe official depth is 30.38". The largest item behind the machine is the dryer vent, unless you vent it to the side. If venting from the rear there should be plenty of room for the rest--hoses and electric, unless your situation is unusual. There are also flat dryer vents that can save room, if you need it. (See the product I added to this post.) Note that in the front, the cabinet of the machine is about 29" deep, the doors protrude about 1.25". In my case, a wall is 30" deep, the cabinet of the machine ended up a bit beyond the 30" wall & the doors protrude a bit more, but to my eye, it looks fine. It's a walkway in front of my machine, so I am concerned about depth, but it's fine. In the photo, the cabinet looks about even with the shoe moulding.

Absolute winner
We’ve had this unit for a month, and are impressed more each day of use. The clincher was when we loaded it with TWO large items...a blanket and bedspread and the washer never gave it a second thought. Dryer? Just as good! We needed a stacked unit due to our laundry room configuration (space is shared with a beer and wine fridge.....priorities are priorities) and our last unit just didn’t measure up. And it is QUIET!! This LG is an absolute champ. I’d recommend to anyone!

Sleek, high-tech units for laundry perfection
We are very impressed with this setup. It is so convenient to have the washer and dryer combined into a single tower unit with a single control panel. With this configuration, the dryer knows what setting to use based on what setting you selected in the washer, as one example. The wi-fi connection and app also provides added flexibility for our use of these units so that we can be outside the home and know when a cycle is finished. Although the installation was included, we had to install on our own because our space was not ready when it was delivered. But the installation was straight-forward and as expected for a connection of this type. The units are also ultra quiet and sleek looking. A perfect fit for our home.
