  • 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.

  • 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 We have the same issue especially with fabric/clothing that doesn't 'breathe'. Try using the Deep Fill (more water). It should at least reduce the white "stuff" effect. If it is still there, it can be wiped off with water.

  • QuestionOn the LG WT8205CW washer, what is the distance between the top of washer and bottom of basket? I have short arms.

    Asked by Dave.

    • Answer Hello there, Dave. We understand your inquiry about the LG WT8205CW and want to help you get the most comfortable loading experience. The official specs list the overall cabinet height at 43 inches (top of control panel) and 57 inches with the lid fully open. While LG doesn’t publish the exact tub depth in that spec sheet, most 4.8 cu ft. LG top-load tubs measure approximately 21 inches from the top rim down to the very bottom of the stainless-steel basket. Plus, thanks to our EasyUnload™ angled-front design, that front edge is tilted forward so you effectively reach in about 2–3 inches less than a traditional straight-tub model. Troubleshooting Tip: Make sure the washer is perfectly level using the adjustable leveling legs—an unlevel unit can throw off the EasyUnload™ angle and make reaching in feel harder than intended. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-4-8-cu-ft-high-efficiency-smart-top-load-washer-with-easyunload-alpine-white/6610497.p?skuId=6610497 If you’d like the precise CAD drawing or a step-by-step on measuring your specific unit, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions. We appreciate your patience as we work together to make laundry day easier! —Renzo
