  • QuestionDo i have to fill up the soap every laundry or the machine decide how much soap she use ? If it's auto does the machine tell me to add soap ?

    Asked by Jeff.

    • Answer You will need to fill detergent for each wash in the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 5.3 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity Smart Top Load Washer with 4-Way® Agitator, EasyUnload™ with TurboWash™ 3D Technology& AI Sensing, Model # WT8405CW. It does not have LG's ezDispense® Automatic Dispenser that you can just fill the reservoirs once and you’re set for up to 14 to 25 wash cycles, and will add just the right amount for each load size—at just the right time. You can even get an alert on your smartphone when it’s time to refill, This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents. For proper wash performance, you should always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. You will need to use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads, and use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems. 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...^Ivan.

  • QuestionIs the agitador removable?

    Asked by susana.

    • Answer Hi there, Susana. Thanks for your question about the LG WT8405CW Top Load Washer! This model does include an agitator, but it is not designed to be removable by the user. The agitator is factory-installed and integrated into the washer's TurboWash3D® system to enhance cleaning performance. Removing it could affect wash quality and potentially void the warranty. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wt8405cw-top-load-washer#pdp_specs If you're asking for cleaning purposes, the Tub Clean cycle is your best option to maintain your washer’s performance. For any servicing or if the agitator needs to be replaced due to damage, we recommend reaching out to an LG-authorized technician. If you need further help, feel free to send us a message @LGUSSupport—we’re always ready to assist! —Renzo

  • QuestionCan you set it to automatically do deep fill with every load without having to remember to choose it? I prioritize function over "efficiency".

    Asked by NeTFLoODeR.

    • Answer Hello there. Thank you for reaching out with your question about the LG WT8405CW Top Load Washer. We understand your preference for function over efficiency, especially regarding the Deep Fill option. Currently, the Deep Fill feature is not designed to be set automatically for every load. You will need to press and hold the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds before starting each wash cycle to add the maximum amount of water. This ensures flexibility in adjusting water levels based on your specific needs. Please note that after the cycle is complete, the setting will automatically revert to the high-efficiency water level for the next load. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wt8405cw-top-load-washer#pdp_specs If you have any further questions or need more information, feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport.

  • QuestionI have scrud contaminating my clothes from the outside of the metal drum. How do I prevent this? Multiple cleaning cycles have done nothing to remedy this

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Using too much detergent, leaving wet clothes in the machine, and using hard water are all common causes of scrud buildup in your washing machine. Regular cleaning of your washing machine drum, rubber seal, and filters in the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 5.3 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer with TurboWash3D™ Technology - Alpine White, Model # WT8405CW, can help prevent scrud buildup and extend the life of your machine. If your multiple attempts to clean the scrud ahve done nothing to resolve the issue, you may have a hard water issue. Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave deposits on the washer's surfaces over time. These deposits, known as scrud, can lead to corrosion of the washer's internal components and reduce its lifespan. You may want to consider installing a water softener, which can help remove minerals from your water and reduce the risk of buildup in your washing machine. The washer 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 a detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance, which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage. You should run the Tub Clean cycle monthly to remove residue and prevent odor. Inspect and clean the rubber gaskets and seals. This can help prevent mold and mildew buildup, which can contribute to scrud...^Ivan.
