QuestionWhy does this machine insist on hot water washes for all settings?Will only dispense hot water to do wash? Any ideas?
Asked 10 years ago by Mike.
- Answer You have to press the button under the water temp until You get the temperature you want. When you do another cycle it will stay at the temperature you chose for the last cycle. You just need to push the button again until the temperature you want lights up. Hope this helps.

QuestionDoes this go off balance a lotI was reading the reviews for this machine and was wondering if the reviews are correct. Does this machine go off balance a lot. I also read that it leaks. Is that true.
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I experienced this twice already. It happened when the load is full and has beddings and comforter. It doesn't end the spin cycle. It keeps on collecting water and reset the time again. My wash cycle lasted for 3 hours and if I didn't remove the clothes it wouldn't finish. I divided it into 2 loads and run the spin cycle only.

QuestionJust got a Samsung washer and the top of the clothes don't even have water on them. I'm thinking of exchanging it but don't know if they are all the same. Does this LG have water over clothes as they are washed?

- Answer L.g. has an option button to add extra water if you see through the glass lid you want more water. You just push the pause button,then you push and hold the extra rinse button until you here it beep. Then push the start button and it will start adding more water.

QuestionWhat makes this washer sense the weight of the load?
Asked 8 years ago by JackVV.
- Answer The method by which the Automatic Load Detection system in the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.9 cu. ft. High-Efficiency Top Load Washer in White weighs the load is beyond the scope of this forum. Suffice it to say that the Automatic Load Detection system uses sensor equipment and the integrated dampers to weigh the load then use a microcontroller to let the machine know how much water to use for the load. This involves both mechanical and electronic components...^IFV

QuestionIs this washer large enough to wash a king size washer?
Asked 9 years ago by kem.
- Answer Washer buying guides advise that to properly wash a queen-size comforter, you'll need a high-efficiency washing machine (no agitator) with 3.5 cubic feet or more, depending on its fluffy factor (it should fit snugly but without cramming). Jumping up to 5.2 cubic feet will let you wash a king-size comforter and the sheet set all in one load. Although the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.9 cu.ft. MEGA Capacity High Efficiency Top Load Washer, Model # WT5270CW does not have agitator, it does have an impeller which takes up less room than an agitator. It will handle some King Size Comforters depending on their fluffiness...^IFV

QuestionWhy doesn't the bleach dispenser empty completely?
Asked 9 years ago by Sebastian.
- Answer The manual notes that: "It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach and softener compartments at the end of the cycle." As for "why" it does that, there is no answer, but apparently it is normal.
