  • 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.

  • QuestionWhat aLG front loading washers offer an internal water heater?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer LG does not manufacture any Front Load Washing machines with an internal water heater. They have to be connected to a water heater that is set to deliver a water temperature of 120 – 130°F (48 – 54°C) and the cold at 60°F (15°C) to provide optimum washing performance. Some LG Front Load Washers feature an internal heating element that is designed just to boost hot water for extra-hot wash temperatures, but will not heat cold water to the desired hot water temperatures...^Ivan.

  • QuestionCan this LG 5.0 washer handle washing king size comforters in bedding

    Asked by MichaelS.

    • Answer While the Energy Star® Certified LG 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Front Load Washer with 6Motion Technology - White Model # WM3470CW, is the ideal minimum recommended capacity for king-size bedding, it cannot accommodate all king-size comforters. Because they vary in bulk, material, and fill weight, whether a comforter fits depends on its thickness. A 5.0 cubic foot front-loader is generally spacious enough to successfully clean: Lightweight, down-filled comforters, Standard-thickness cotton or linen bedding, or King-size duvet covers. You may struggle with extra-stuffed down or "heavyweight" options, which are often too thick for proper tumbling and rinsing. Comforters stuffed with synthetic fibers or batting are often much thicker than natural down, meaning they will not fit or get clean. California King Comforters have slightly larger typical dimensions than standard king-size comforters, often demanding a more spacious washer or a commercial-grade drum...^Ivan.

  • QuestionHow do you reconnect the drain hose?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, there! Thank you for sharing your question to us about the LG Washer (WM3470CW). To reconnect it, here's a couple of things to consider: • Make sure the hose is firmly attached to the drain port on the back of the washer. • Push it in until fully seated, and secure it with the clamp so it doesn’t loosen during use. • Then place the other end into the standpipe or laundry tub, keeping the hose height within the recommended range to ensure proper drainage.
