  • QuestionMy old LG has to keep the door open so it doesn’t smell musty. Have they fixed that? Nothing takes the smell away but keeping the door open.

    Asked by Possiblerepeatbuyer.

    • Answer Sorry, I have not found any front load that does not need to leave the door open to prevent the smell. I think if you used every day you might not need to, but if you use the way most do and run weekly loads, you need to vent the drum since the units are built to seal well and not leak during operation. The same may apply to the soap and softener drawer as well. The units are sealed well enough that any moisture has no why to evaporate.

  • Questionwhat is 6Motion Technology?

    Asked by Magnolia.

    • Answer Hello, Magnolia. The LG WM3470CM front-load washer features 6Motion Technology, which uses up to 6 different wash motions to provide a smart cleaning experience that is gentle on clothes and maximizes washing performance. Specifically, the 6 different wash motions are: Scrubbing: The combination of water supply and the washer's movements scrubs the clothes to remove dirt and stains. Rolling: A rolling wash motion helps lift and tumble the clothes for thorough cleaning. Stepping: A stepping wash motion gently moves the clothes up and down to clean them effectively. Swing: The swing motion helps move the clothes from one side of the drum to the other for even cleaning coverage. Filtration: This motion filters the wash water through the clothes to remove dirt and detergent. Tumbling: The final tumbling motion helps rinse away any remaining dirt or detergent. This 6Motion Technology, combined with the washer's ColdWash feature, allows the LG WM3470CM to clean clothes effectively using cold water, providing energy and cost savings compared to a traditional warm water wash. ^Sam

  • QuestionDoes this washer have speedwash? if yes how long is the cycle.

    Asked by Erin.

    • Answer Yes and the time varies depending on how dirty the clothes are. The fastest cycle is 15 minutes, the slowest for dirtier clothes, 25 minutes. You set it. Note that the default heat setting for speedwash is hot. You'd need to enter warm or cold if you don't want hot.

  • QuestionHow long is the drain pipe and water lines? Need to know so I know in case I need to get and extention on drain pipe.

    Asked by Cristy.

    • Answer The unit does come with a drain line, the length was already cited by LG answers, but it does not come with new water lines, that is either an add on charge if you buy them from Best Buy as part of your purchase, or you can buy most any length from local hardware sources. My local stores had 3', 6' and 10' lengths. You should replace your lines regardless of the condition of your old ones, it is just a good safety measure. In addition, if the 60" drain is not enough, many hardware stores sell universal drain lines that should also work with this device.

  • QuestionWill this washer fit a 6x9 wool rug?

    Asked by AAA.

    • Answer Check your wool rug's garment label or contact the manufacturer to inquire if it will fit into a 5.0 cubic feet capacity. Online guides for wool rugs advise that a 6 x 9 foot rug will fit into a 3.8 cubic feet capacity so since the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Front Load Washer with 6Motion™ Technology - Middle Black, Model # WM3470CM has a larger capacity of 5.0 cubic feet, it should accommodate your wool rug...^Ivan.

  • QuestionIt was said to use the Settings button on the Control panel to be able to set a wash to soak, when someone previously asking about the ability to soak. I do not see a settings button on the picture of the control panel. Can someone from LG clarify?

    Asked by NYDeb.

    • Answer Hello there! Thank you for your inquiry about the LG WM3470CW Front Load Washer. We understand your concern regarding the "Soak" feature and the absence of a "Settings" button on the control panel. The washer does not have a dedicated "Settings" button as part of its design. However, the option to soak is available under the "Prewash" feature. You can select the "Prewash" option along with the wash cycle, which functions similarly to a soak by allowing water to sit for a longer period before the main wash cycle starts. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wm3470cw-front-load-washer#pdp_specs For more detailed instructions or clarification, feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport.

  • QuestionI scanned the QR code and it says this model isn't supported. I try to add it without the QR code and it says to hold the Delay-Start for 3 seconds but it does nothing. There is no WiFi symbol on the button. The model is WM3470CW so it's the right model.

    Asked by Daniel.

    • Answer Hi there, Daniel. Thank you for reaching out about your LG WM3470CW Front Load Washer. We understand you're having difficulty connecting your washer to Wi-Fi and using the ThinQ® app. This model does not support LG ThinQ® Smart Technology, which is why the QR code scanning and the attempt to connect through the Delay Start button are not working. While it does feature SmartDiagnosis™ for troubleshooting, it doesn't have Wi-Fi connectivity for smart functions. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wm3470cw-front-load-washer#pdp_specs If you need assistance with any other features or have further questions about your unit, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be happy to assist you.

  • QuestionHello I am trying to replace my old machine which has a pedestal for model number WM2801HWA with this machine fit on the pedestal I have? If so, what kind of brackets do I need to get to install it?

    Asked by Replacement.

    • Answer Thank you for your interest in the LG Front Load Washer (WM3470CW) model. The LG WM3470CW washing machine is not compatible with the pedestal for the LG WM2801HWA. The design and dimensions of the two machines and their respective pedestals are different, so the WM3470CW will not fit on the pedestal for the WM2801HWA. Therefore, it is not possible to use the existing pedestal for the new washing machine.
