Q: QuestionMy softener dispenser isn't draining properly. It leaves behind a liquid. How do I remove the dispenser drawer to clean it?
Asked by DJMAN3740.
- A:Answer Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your concern regarding the maintenance of your WM3470CM and the liquid remaining in the softener dispenser. To assist with the drainage, we recommend cleaning the dispenser drawer to remove any residue that may have accumulated over time. To remove the drawer, simply open it fully and then pull it out while pressing down on the [PUSH] button located in the center of the dispenser assembly. Once the drawer is removed, you can clean it and the various compartments using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water to ensure all paths are clear. After cleaning, reassemble the parts and slide the drawer back into the unit.

Q: QuestionCan the WM 3470CM be butted against the back wall when installing?
Asked by Jay.
- A:Answer The ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient / ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 5.0 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity Front Load Washer, Model # WM3470CW, cannot "be butted against the back wall when installing". To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose, and airflow, you need to allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. You will also need to be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances....^Ivan.
