Love this washer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great washer, beautiful color! Only problem is that every now and again it gets off balance if you put blankets or comforters in there and takes FOREVER to wash. The time just stalls and you will notice over an hour later it is sill washing and has 30 minutes left! Otherwise, I love this machine, by far the best one I have ever owned!

Washes Huge Loads
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did a lot of research before buying a new washer and dryer. I compared all the brands, features, prices, warranties, etc. I used to have a front loader Kenmore HE washer and dryer. I am VERY happy with my new washer and the matching dryer. I have a very puffy king sized comforter, and never felt that my front loader did a good job of washing it even though it had the largest tub available. It freshened it up, but I never felt it got truly clean. I also had to take it out of the dryer and rearrange it several times to get it most of the way dry, then I'd spread it out under the ceiling fan to finish drying. First time I washed it in this new LG, I noticed it definitely smelled and felt cleaner. It also spun to the point of being almost dry so it was completely dry coming out of the dryer in only one cycle. I can do laundry in half the time. I can put huge loads in, and they still come out really clean. If I normally do 8 loads of laundry, I can get it all done in 4 with this machine. I do about 8-10 pairs of adult sized jeans in one load, and they dry the first time thru the dryer. I can also do all the bath towels in one load, and we have three bathrooms. I love the soap, softener, and bleach dispensers. Very easy to use and clean. My Kenmore had too many tight spots where it was difficult to scrub out any build up. This is very quiet. I used to have to shut my laundry room door because the Kenmore sounded like a plane getting ready to take off during the spin cycle. I forgot to shut the door and didn't think twice about the laundry until I heard the end of cycle chime. Then I realized I hadn't heard it running. This is great because I often throw a load of laundry in before I go to bed. I also used to avoid putting decorations on one of my walls because the Kenmore shook the house so bad. Now I can hang decorations without worrying about them falling down. The only down side to this machine having such a big, deep tub would be if you are short. I am 5'-9" and have long arms. I think if I was shorter, I would have a difficult time reaching to the bottom of the tub to retrieve socks and other little items. The other thing is that the washer and the dryer both play a little tune when they are done. It sort of reminds me of one of those musical night lights that you use to put babies to sleep. I simple 'beep' or 'buzz' would be good. Everyone hears the music and looks around confused. It is sort of funny. Actually the little tune is growing on us.

Filling to top with water, temp is off and tangles
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this washer in late Nov. First one was filling 4" from top on most every load no matter what was in it- in the cotton normal, towels or bulky bedding. Maybe one load out of 10 only filled water just above the clothes. I can replicate this each time also by pausing the cotton cycle after it fills once. Then start again and it fills all the way up. So long story short- I have had three machines sent to me. Each with same issue. Repair man came out today to replace board and pressure sensor and that didn't fix it. So he is scratching head wondering whats up and calling his LG rep. One machine I can live with but now 3?? It now is filling up to inside the top white ring so well above the tub line and about 1-2" from flooding. I am very frustrated since everyone says this is a good machine. I can show in photos or video to prove this. If it is a bad batch the repairman says getting the new board and sensor from LG should have fixed this. Now I get clothes that float and just spin with no agitation and not washing. Been over a month with no resolution.

Good Overall
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a Kenmore Washer and Dryer with this LG Washer and matching Dryer, and I'm hoping to get as much service from them as I did the Kenmore. After doing some internet and in store inquiries I decided to go with this brand and model, for my budget. The washer is simple to use, just press the power button, dial in the setting you want and press start, and be sure to add detergent and all before you start the cycle, the door locks after you start it. I'm still in the air with the unbalanced loads , that can be aggravating. But once the clothes are done they are Nice and Clean though it might take an hour and a half for a normal load.

Wonderful! Fab technology!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband and I bought this washer after our 4 year old Cabrio blew the main seal and sprayed water into the motor and transmission, effectively ruining the washer. We did our research, even joining Consumer Reports, to make sure we got a great washer that would last. The upgrades to washing machines in just a few, short years is absolutely amazing! This gem does everything you could want a washer to do...besides drying and folding the laundry for you! The capacity of this washer is fantastic. We can even wash a king-size comforter with ease. You can be assured that large loads and small loads are all treated with care by this washer. We bought the model that included a "Delicate" cycle because I frequently wash vintage fabrics. It treats them beautifully. Listed by Consumer Reports as a Best Buy (their rating, not the name of the store!), and for good reason!

Great performance and features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is our first high efficient washer. We were told it takes time to get used to and that they don't clean as well as traditional washers. We transitioned quickly and found the clothes to be as clean as they always were. The longer cycles slow our laundry day down a bit but overall we are very pleased with this machine. We were also told to expect a lot of vibration due to the high speed spinning but it actually makes less noise and vibrations than our old washer. We would highly recommend this washer.

Q: QuestionWasher is leaking from the bottom,what could be the problem
Asked by Haz.
- A:Answer Haz, Thank you for your inquiry. We regret to hear that you're having leaking issues with your LG Electronics 4.7 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Ultra-Large Capacity High-Efficiency Top-Loading Washer, Model # WT5170HW. The most common reasons for leaks are usually poorly installed hoses. Make sure that all the fill and drain hose connections are tight and secure. Oversudsing also may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent used. High-efficiency detergent is recommended. Make sure that detergent and any additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments. You might try using less detergent. The problem may be something else and if you would like to schedule a service, you can contact LG Customer Support Center at (800) 243- 0000...IFV

Q: QuestionGot delivery yesterday and delivery man on set-up said there was a problem with motherboard and we should contact customer service and get a newMachine delivered. Then he said it was working and they probably did not let the cycle run fully when they initially tested it out. Does that sound correct? He said run a few washes and see what happens.Should I ask for a new one? I'm concerned that there is a possible short and I will have problems in the future.
