Q: Can you make it so you can add more water?

A: The reason why they made it smart because it senses the right amount of water to clean your clothes. Make sure to use HE detergent and put the right amount to your load. Also, heavy stains should always be sprayed with stain remover first and rub by hand. I'm sure there is no existing washer that could wash away heavy stains. If you want to add more water you could pause the washer and pour more water in, but that defeats the purpose of the washer being smart enough to know the right amount of water it should use. That's just my 2 cents.

Q: Discontinuing this model?

A: Thank you for your interest in the LG 5.0 cu. ft. 12-Cycle Mega-Capacity High Efficiency Top- Loading Washer Model # WT1701CW. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the model. It is not unusual for the unit to get phased out after a year in the market. This happens to every Electronic product that you see in stores throughout the country. Products usually are in the market for a year and then they get discontinued as newer models are introduced...IFV

Q: what does amperage indicate in the specification?

A: Thank you for your inquiry. The amperage listed in the specifications for the LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle Mega-Capacity High-Efficiency Top-Loading Washer - Model # WT1701CW is probably one of the more important specifications for the washer, more so than the voltage. Amperage is a component of electricity that is a unit of electron flow or current in a conductor. Your circuit board has fuses in it that have different amperages and when you have too much current flowing through the circuit, the breaker will trip. The Amps (short for ampere) listed for the unit (reads as 5 Amps but should be 10 Amps) let you know that the socket into which you're plugging the washer into must have a breaker that at least matches that of the unit so that it doesn't trip...IFV

Q: Does water remain in the washer causing mold-mildew?

A: Hello Nana. Thank you for your inquiry. Regardless of what type of washer you use, there is always going to be a certain amount of water left. Water has cohesive properties so it will stick to the insides of the wash tub. The LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle Mega-Capacity High-Efficiency Top-Loading Washer - Model # WT1701CW, being a Top-Load Washer will have lees water remaining after the water drains out compared to a Front Loader, but if the washer will not be used for several days, leave the lid open overnight to allow the tub to dry. What really leads to mildewy or musty smells are some environmental or usage conditions that can cause residue to build up in the tub. This washer has a Tub Clean cycle that is specially designed to remove this buildup using bleach or another cleaners designed specifically for cleaning washing machines. It is recommended that you run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is present...IFV
