  • Questionwhite "stuff", not lint, shows up on my black clothes, no matter the fabric. It is exactly the pattern of the barrel. Why is this??? I have tried and tried to contact LG with no success via text or phone to get a reference number so Best Buy can fix this.

    Asked by Kathee.

    • Answer Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the residue appearing on your garments after using your LG 4.8 Cu. Ft. Smart Top Load Washer. This is often caused by using too much detergent or cold water cycles that do not fully dissolve the soap; we recommend using the Tub Clean cycle with a specialized cleaner to remove any internal buildup. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-4-8-cu-ft-high-efficiency-smart-top-load-washer-with-easyunload-alpine-white/JJ8VPZHWGK For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. —Renzo

  • Questionhow much does it weigh ? do you have to use HE detergent ?

    Asked by Monte.

    • Answer As implied in its header, the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 4.8 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer with EasyUnload® - Alpine White, Model # WT8205CW is a 'High-Efficiency' washer and is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage. Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results. Best Buy's specifications list Product Weight as 130 lbs. for this washer...^Ivan.

  • QuestionCan I use detergent sheets with this washing machine?

    Asked by Ecofriendly.

    • Answer Hello, there! Thank you for sharing your question to us about the LG Washer (WT8205CW). Yes, detergent sheets can be used with this model. Since the WT8205CW is an HE top‑loader, placement matters to ensure the sheets dissolve properly. They should be placed directly into the drum with your laundry rather than in the dispenser. This helps the sheet break down evenly during the wash cycle.

  • QuestionWhat does it mean when the washer reads CL

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there! Thanks for reaching out regarding the LG Washer (WT8205CL). When your LG WT8205CL displays “CL”, it indicates that the Child Lock feature is active, which prevents any changes to the washer settings during operation. Here’s how you can deactivate the Child Lock (CL) feature: • Turn the washer on. • Find the button with a lock icon (may be under Tub Clean, Rinse+Spin, or Steam). • Press and hold that button for 3–5 seconds. • A chime will sound and the CL message will clear.

  • QuestionCan I use a powder detergent

    Asked by Jen.

    • Answer Hi there, Jen! We appreciate you checking in about using powdered detergent with the LG Washer (WT8205CL). Yes, you can use powdered detergent with this washer, and it does need to be an HE (High‑Efficiency) formula to ensure proper performance. For best results, remove the liquid detergent cup from the dispenser drawer and add the powder directly into the main wash compartment, or place it directly into the tub to help prevent clumping during the wash.

  • QuestionWhat would be Heavy Duty clothes. Would that be jeans? Or throw rugs

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The Heavy Duty cycle is designed for sturdy fabrics, heavily soiled garments, and large, thick items needing intense cleaning. Ideal candidates include denim jeans, towels, sweat-heavy sportswear, canvas work clothes, and bedding. It uses longer wash times, faster agitation, and higher heat to tackle grime. Even if your throw rugs have a latex or rubber backing, a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water is generally recommended for most throw rugs to protect the backing from heat and harsh agitation. Always check the manufacturer's garment care label, as some rubber backings cannot handle machine washing at all...^Ivan.

  • QuestionCan this size machine wash a king size comforter with no problem and get cleaned good.

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there. Thank you for sharing your question with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the washing capacity and cleaning performance of the WT8205CL washer. With a generous 4.8 cu.ft. capacity, this unit is designed to handle large items, including a king-size comforter, quite effectively. To ensure your bedding is cleaned thoroughly, we recommend using the specific "Bedding" cycle, which is optimized for bulky items to provide the appropriate water level and motion. For the best cleaning results, please ensure the comforter is loaded loosely around the washplate and not packed down, allowing the water and detergent to circulate freely. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-4-8-cu-ft-high-efficiency-smart-top-load-washer-with-easyunload-platinum-black/JJ8VPZHWGC If you have any further questions or need assistance with the features of your unit, please contact us on lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com, and our team will be more than happy to assist you further. —Renzo

  • QuestionWhat dial do you use for delicate wash

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hello there. We understand your inquiry regarding the WT8205CW and which setting is appropriate for your delicate garments. To ensure the best care for items such as dress shirts, blouses, nylons, and sheer or lacy clothing, we recommend turning the cycle selector dial to the "Delicates" setting. This cycle is specifically designed to provide a gentle wash that protects sensitive fabrics while maintaining cleaning efficiency. On this model, the Delicates cycle typically defaults to a cold wash temperature and a medium spin speed to prevent damage to your clothing, with an approximate cycle time of 42 minutes.
