LG's mega capacity washer saves you time and energy while not compromising on cleaning performance. Our 6motion technology uses up to 6 different wash motions to provide a smart cleaning experience that is gentle on clothes and maximizes washing performance. The 5.0 cu. ft. capacity on washer means you have even more room to do laundry in fewer loads. And ColdWash technology uses cold water and enhanced washing motions to penetrate deep into fabrics, giving you cold water savings with warm water performance.
5.0 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 5.0 cu. ft. mega 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.
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 a gentle Swinging motion ideal for delicates.
ColdWash Technology
Saving energy doesn’t have to mean compromising on cleaning with the ColdWash option. Powered by the LG Direct Drive Motor and 6 motion technology, it’s ideal for cleaning all types of clothes—even those you normally wash in warm water.
Can be used with almost any wash cycle and virtually all fabric types.
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 add the ColdWash option to almost any cycle.
SideKick Pedestal Washer Compatible
Add the one-of-a-kind LG SideKick pedestal washer¹ and wash small loads that just can’t wait in the compact washer below while you do a big load up top.
Warm and cold settings and 6 cycles let you care for all types of items, from delicates and hand washables to workout wear and baby clothes. Elevate your washer for easier loading and unloading.
Closet Depth
LG closet-depth² washers and dryers are worth showing off, but when space dictates otherwise it’s good to know they’ll easily fit in almost any closet with plenty of room to close the closet door.
Install the pair side-by-side, or get a stacking kit and install the dryer over the washer to save even more space.
NeveRust Stainless Steel Tub
Unlike tubs made from porcelain or plastic, the LG NeveRust Stainless Steel Tub avoids the chips and nicks that can snag fabrics and ruin clothing.
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 to keep even big loads balanced to reduce noise and vibration. A must-have for main or 2nd 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.
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.
Requires fill hose (not included)
for standard hook-up upon delivery

- A: AnswerSorry, I have not found any front load that does not need to leave the door open to prevent the smell. I think if you used every day you might not need to, but if you use the way most do and run weekly loads, you need to vent the drum since the units are built to seal well and not leak during operation. The same may apply to the soap and softener drawer as well. The units are sealed well enough that any moisture has no why to evaporate.

- A: AnswerTo use the pre-wash option, you need to press and hold in the extra rinse button for 3 to 4 seconds. Thank you so much Ms.TereseaS This was literally driving me up a wall lol.

Q: Questionwhat is 6Motion Technology?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHello, Magnolia. The LG WM3470CM front-load washer features 6Motion Technology, which uses up to 6 different wash motions to provide a smart cleaning experience that is gentle on clothes and maximizes washing performance. Specifically, the 6 different wash motions are: Scrubbing: The combination of water supply and the washer's movements scrubs the clothes to remove dirt and stains. Rolling: A rolling wash motion helps lift and tumble the clothes for thorough cleaning. Stepping: A stepping wash motion gently moves the clothes up and down to clean them effectively. Swing: The swing motion helps move the clothes from one side of the drum to the other for even cleaning coverage. Filtration: This motion filters the wash water through the clothes to remove dirt and detergent. Tumbling: The final tumbling motion helps rinse away any remaining dirt or detergent. This 6Motion Technology, combined with the washer's ColdWash feature, allows the LG WM3470CM to clean clothes effectively using cold water, providing energy and cost savings compared to a traditional warm water wash. ^SamAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care
Q: QuestionHow long is a normal cycle? How long is the towel cycle?(2 answers)

The towel cycle, which is used for washing towels and cotton garments, has a longer duration. It has an approximate time of 73 minutes. The duration of the towel cycle may vary depending on factors such as load size, fabric type, adjustments to wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, and soil level. ^DaneeAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care
Q: QuestionWhat does the Wifi do? Is there any use, since there is no app?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi Polly, this model washer is Thin Q compatible.

Q: Questiondoes this fit a california king szed big comforter well without being cramped?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes it fits great I have the same type of bed and can fit a quilt and more inAnswered by SapphireC
Q: QuestionDoes this washer have speedwash? if yes how long is the cycle.(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes and the time varies depending on how dirty the clothes are. The fastest cycle is 15 minutes, the slowest for dirtier clothes, 25 minutes. You set it. Note that the default heat setting for speedwash is hot. You'd need to enter warm or cold if you don't want hot.Answered by JeanM
- A: AnswerThe unit does come with a drain line, the length was already cited by LG answers, but it does not come with new water lines, that is either an add on charge if you buy them from Best Buy as part of your purchase, or you can buy most any length from local hardware sources. My local stores had 3', 6' and 10' lengths. You should replace your lines regardless of the condition of your old ones, it is just a good safety measure. In addition, if the 60" drain is not enough, many hardware stores sell universal drain lines that should also work with this device.

Perfect washer for any home
I recently purchased the LG 5.0 Cu. Ft. 6Motion, and I’m thoroughly impressed. This washer is a game-changer. The 5.0 cu. ft. capacity is perfect for handling large loads, saving me time and energy. I guess the 6Motion technology offers a thorough, gentle clean by using six different wash motions, and my clothes come out spotless every time. The washer is also incredibly quiet and efficient, with a modern design that looks great in my laundry room. The intuitive controls are easy to use, and the various cycle options cater to all my laundry needs. Plus, it's energy-efficient, which is a bonus for both my utility bills and the environment. Overall, the LG High-Efficiency Front Load Washer is a fantastic investment. It delivers excellent performance, is user-friendly, and makes laundry day much easier.

So far so good on a great brand
So far I have been very happy with my purchase. I checked online with Consumer Reports and they rank the LG models very highly. It runs quietly and the clothes smell fresh. Out of habit, I leave the door of the washer open due to the moisture present on the door after running a load. The controls are easy to use and seem to have all of the settings covered. I previously owned a brand that starts with S and rhymes with "ransom" ;-) that initially was a good washer but had issues shortly after the warranty was over. Bummer.

Loving LG Products
My last LG set was purchased used at 3 years old and they were still going strong when I just finally upgraded. That was 15 years of solid service. I moved to these to get a bit more capacity and because it was time to finally move up. This washer does a fantastic job and can wash 2 comforters at the same time with ease. I can wash a full bed set in a single load and it comes out clean. Looking forward to having this set for a long time. My one and ONLY complaint is the Child Lock features. My daughter loves pushing the buttons and the child lock will not lockout the power button. This means in the middle of a wash the machine can be turned off by tiny fingers as they walk by. Please Please LG and others, Include the POWER button in the CL feature. I for one would greatly appreciate it in 15 years when I upgrade again.
