A:AnswerI have been using block soap shaved/grated down which makes two gallons for about $2. I use 1 cup per wash. All come out clean but then I do not get dirty anyway, so it depends where you live say in a city with lots of cars or rural and job type. I found the recipe on YouTube for How to make your own detergent. Supermarket detergents are too expensive for me.
A:AnswerHello there. We understand your inquiry regarding the tray compatibility for Model # WM4000HWA. Based on official specifications, this unit has a depth of 30 1/4 inches, which exceeds the 28.25-inch depth of your tray. To maintain proper balance and stability during operation, the washer feet must be fully supported by a flat surface that accommodates the unit's full depth.

A:AnswerHello there, Tess. Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand your inquiry regarding the wash time settings on the WM4000HWA. This model utilizes Load Sensing and AI DD® technology to automatically calculate the optimal wash duration based on the weight and fabric type, so you cannot manually input a specific time duration. However, you can adjust the cycle time indirectly by changing the Soil Level (higher soil levels increase time), modifying the Spin Speed, or selecting the Speed Wash cycle for a quicker operation.

A:AnswerHi there, Rock. Thank you for sharing your inquiry with us. We understand your question about cleaning the drain pump filter on your LG Front Load Washer, Model WM4000HWA. Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance of your unit.
Here are the basic steps for cleaning the drain pump filter:
Ensure the washer is off and grab a shallow pan and a towel.
Open the access panel door, which is located on the lower front corner of the unit.
Carefully pull out the small residual drain hose, place the hose into your pan, and remove its plug to drain the remaining water.
Once drained, put the plug back in the hose and reinsert it.
Remove the main pump filter by turning the large cap counter-clockwise. Clean any debris or lost items from the filter and its housing.
Reinstall the clean filter by turning it clockwise until it is securely locked, and close the access panel.

A:AnswerHi, Jul. Thanks for your question about the LG Washer (WM4000HWA) model and the difference between 3- and 4-prong cords. The 4-prong cord is beneficial as it has separate grounding and neutral wires, reducing electrical shock risks and ensuring proper grounding, which is crucial for modern washers and dryers. In contrast, 3-prong cords, common in older homes (built before 1996), have two "hot" wires and a combined neutral/ground wire.
Choosing between a 3-prong or 4-prong cord depends on your home’s electrical outlet, not the dryer. This unit is compatible with both, but cords aren't included due to varying home wiring, so select the right one for your outlet.
