Q: QuestionCan you use a pre-wash liquid with this model? I have seen in the manual the unit has a pre-wash cycle, but I couldn't find anything on pre-wash liquids/cleaners.
Asked by TexasDub.
- A:Answer Yes, you can use pre-wash liquid in the LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer with Steam and TurboWash 360. Be sure to use HE or high efficiency detergent with your washing machine. If you are using liquid detergent for the main wash, make sure that the liquid detergent cup is used in the main wash compartment to prevent the main wash detergent from being dispensed with a pre wash detergent. ^James.

Q: QuestionDo I have to load up the detergent dispenser and softener dispenser for many loads or can I just put the amount of detergent I need for one load? Also does this have a sanitize cycle?
Asked by Kat.

Q: QuestionI’ve had this machine for 2 months. I don’t know if I did anything wrong but my clothes didn’t smell fresh after washing. And I noticed that the fabric softener dispenser was still almost full after wash. I use Tide Pods detergent. Does anyone know why?
Asked by Anne.
- A:Answer Thank you for your interest in the LG 5.0 cu. ft. Mega Capacity Smart Front Load Washer with AI DD® 2.0 Built-In Intelligence & TurboWash® 360° (WM6700HBA) model. There could be a few reasons why your clothes don't smell fresh after washing and why the fabric softener dispenser is still almost full. Here are some possible explanations and solutions: Using Tide Pods detergent: While Tide Pods are a convenient and effective detergent option, they may not be the best choice for every situation. In some cases, using a liquid or powder detergent directly in the dispenser could yield better results. Try using a different form of detergent and see if that improves the scent of your clothes and the performance of the fabric softener dispenser. Overloading the washer: If you're putting too many clothes in the washer, they may not be getting enough water and detergent to properly clean and freshen. Try reducing the load size and see if that makes a difference. Clogged or partially blocked dispenser: Check the fabric softener dispenser for any clogs or blockages that may be preventing it from emptying properly. Clean the dispenser thoroughly and make sure it's free of any residue or buildup. Not using enough detergent: If you're using a small amount of detergent with a large load of laundry, it may not be enough to effectively clean and freshen your clothes. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for the recommended amount to use based on your load size. Water temperature: Make sure you're using the appropriate water temperature for your laundry. Hot water can help activate the detergent and fabric softener, while cold water may not be as effective in removing odors and stains. Maintenance and cleaning: Regularly clean your washer, including the drum, door seal, and detergent dispenser, to remove any residue or buildup that may be affecting its performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance.

Q: QuestionHow much space do you need behind the washer and dryer? The closet I'd like to put it in is 34.5 inches deep, and the washer is 33 and 3/16 inches deep so I did not know if this would be enough clearance.
Asked by Kevin.
This question was asked about the related product: LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer with Steam and TurboWash 360 - Black Steel
- A:Answer A. To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances. ~Tanisha

Q: QuestionWhy does is shake so bad? I just bought the washer and it spins out of control.
Asked by Stephy.
This question was asked about the related product: LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer with Steam and TurboWash 360 - Black Steel
- A:Answer Hi, Stephy. Thank you for letting us know about the excessive shaking you're experiencing with your new LG Washer (WM6500HBA) model. This unit is a powerful washer, and when it shakes excessively during spin cycles, it’s often due to a few common setup or usage factors. Check for shipping bolts. If the washer was just installed, make sure the shipping bolts at the back have been removed. Level the unit. Use a level tool to ensure the washer is sitting evenly on the floor. Adjust the feet if needed. Balance the load. Avoid washing single heavy items like comforters or mixing heavy and light items. Try redistributing the load and running a spin cycle again. You can find more detailed guidance here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-troubleshooting-vibration-issues-on-an-lg-washing-machine--1400517829363.

Q: QuestionCan you use concentrated laundry detergent and enzyme booster (specifically dirty labs) with this washer? If so, do you put both directly into the drum?
Asked by Laundry.
This question was asked about the related product: LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer with Steam and TurboWash 360 - Black Steel
- A:Answer e ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 5.0 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity Smart Front Load Washer with TurboWash® 360° and AI DD® Built-In Intelligence, Model # WM6500HBA, is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage. Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results. You need to use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems, and you should never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer. Laundry boosters come in all different formats. There are powders, liquids, and laundry power packs that you can add to the wash along with your laundry detergent. All laundry boosters work in standard washing machines, and some also work in HE washing machines. Check the product label to verify you can use your laundry additive of choice in an HE or washing machine. You have to add the enzyme booster according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically as a powder or liquid. You can add liquid or powdered detergent to the Pre-wash Detergent Compartment when using the Pre-wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with the washer. When using the Pre-wash option, liquid detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it from being dispensed with the pre-wash detergent. The amount of detergent added for the Pre-wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. The Main Wash Detergent Compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders. If the dispenser has a liquid detergent cup and insert: Make sure they are in place when using liquid detergent. Make sure to remove them when using powdered detergent. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place. The liquid detergent cup has guidelines to show the amount of liquid detergent added...^Ivan.

Q: QuestionThe appliances are 39” each, so one might think 78” total height. But if the dryer sits on top of the washer, do the dryer’s feet come off, thus reducing the height, or does the stacking kit add some amount? Need total height due to limited clearance.
Asked by Sawmill.
- A:Answer Hi there, Sawmill. Thank you for reaching out with your question about the height when stacking your LG WM6700HBA Front Load Washer and its corresponding dryer. We understand that clearance is important when planning your appliance setup, and we’re here to help clarify this for you. When stacking the dryer on top of the washer, the dryer’s feet do not come off—they remain attached to the unit. However, the stacking kit itself does add a small amount to the total height, as it is designed to securely hold the dryer in place above the washer. Based on the standard height of each unit being 39", the stacking kit will increase the overall height by a few inches. For a stacked setup, you can expect the total height to be 79", depending on the specific stacking kit you use. The stacking kit itself adds minimal height, but it ensures stability and safety for the stacked units. Please keep in mind that exact dimensions may vary slightly depending on installation specifics. To make sure the setup works within your space, we recommend double-checking your available clearance and considering the added height for the stacking kit. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wm6700hba-front-load-washer#pdp_specs If you need any further clarification or assistance, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and we’d be more than happy to assist with your setup.
