  • QuestionAm I correct that it has all these washing features but no option for soaking?

    Asked by NYDeb.

    • Answer Hello there! Thank you for reaching out with your question about the LG WM6500HBA Front Load Washer. We understand you're wondering about the availability of a soaking option. While this model has an extensive range of washing features, including TurboWash®, AI Wash, Steam, and various cycles for different fabric types, it does not specifically include a designated "Soak" cycle. However, you can achieve a similar effect by using the Pre-Wash option, which helps to loosen dirt and stains before starting the main wash cycle. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wm6500hba-front-load-washer#pdp_specs For additional help or to explore more options, feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport.

  • QuestionIs this washer comparable with DLEX4000B dryer?

    Asked by PS.

    • Answer Hello there! Yes, the LG WM6500HBA Front Load Washer is not directly compatible with the LG DLEX4000B dryer because they are from different series and have varying dimensions. The WM6500HBA is ideally paired with the DLEX6500B (electric) or the DLGX6501B (gas) dryers, which are designed to match its style, size, and features. If you're looking for a compatible dryer to maintain a cohesive setup with your WM6500HBA washer, it’s best to select the recommended dryers from the same series. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wm6500hba-front-load-washer#pdp_specs Feel free to reach out if you need more detailed compatibility information or guidance on selecting the right dryer! —Renzo

  • QuestionI noticed th depth on this is 33 inches. Is there a dryer that is also 33" deep? I want a set that has the same dimensions.

    Asked by vstevens82.

    • Answer Hi there, thank you for your question regarding matching dimensions for your LG WM6500HBA Front Load Washer. We understand you're looking for a dryer with a similar depth of 33 inches to create a cohesive set. The LG DLEX6500B Electric Dryer is an excellent match, but based on its compatibility with the LG WM6500HBA washer, as they are both part of the same product family and often paired together. However, we see now that the depth does not match your requirement of 33 inches, which is crucial for your needs. We recommend checking with your local retailers for any new models that may fit your specifications or considering a pedestal for the dryer, which can provide additional height and uniformity in your laundry setup or send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll be happy to help! We appreciate your time. —Renzo
