Hello there! We understand your inquiry about using your LG WT6100CW 4.3 cu ft. top-load washer for fabric dye—and we’re here to help you explore the possibilities. While this model doesn’t include a dedicated “dye” cycle, you can still try a manual dye-bath technique: Use the Water Plus option – When you begin a load, select Water Plus to increase the fill level. This gives you extra water in the tub for your dye solution. Add your dye and fabric – With the tub filled, pause the washer (press Pause/Start), add your powdered or liquid dye and fabrics, then firmly close the lid to let them soak. Extract excess dye bath – After the soak time you choose, press Pause/Start again, then select Spin Only. The washer will spin to remove excess liquid without running a full wash cycle. Rinse if needed – If you need to rinse, add clean water manually (just lift the lid, pour in water), then hit Rinse + Spin to finish. Troubleshooting tip: If you find the extra water draining too quickly, try adding a small weight (like a sink-safe container) on top of the lid to help maintain the seal during the soak, and ensure the lid is fully closed before pausing the cycle. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-4-3-cu-ft-high-efficiency-top-load-washer-with-slamproof-glass-lid-white/6573547.p?skuId=6573547 If you have any questions during the process or want recommendations for dye-safe detergents and best practices, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions with you.
