The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle Front-Loading Smart Wi-Fi Washer with Steam and 6Motion Technology - White, Model # WM3700HWA uses a Load Sensing system to determine how much water to use for the wash. When a cycle is selected, the default time for that cycle is displayed. This time will change as modifiers or options are selected. Once the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer will measure the size of the load to determine how much water to use for the load. The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating your clothing. It is normal to not be able to see water during the wash cycle. The Estimated Annual Water Use of the washer based on an annual usage of 295 loads per year, or around 6 loads per week, as referenced by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure is 3,841 gallons/year. You actual water consumption will vary depending on the amount of laundry done. The washer has a total weighted pre-cycle consumption of 13.05 gallons...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just purchased this washer and conserving water is not a priority in this household. I can tell you the washer does not use nearly enough and thinking of returning it to buy a Speed Queen front loader. They are far more expensive but are made in the USA and use sufficient water to clean your clothes. If you enjoy watching dirty clothes tumble upon each other just damp then this is the washer for you! I now know why the front glass is deeply tinted, it's because nobody would want the washer after they see it just tumbles damp clothes around, gross.
