  • 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.

  • QuestionDoes this machine have a delicate cycle?

    Asked by Timshelleyplus3.

    • Answer Hello there. We understand your inquiry about the LG WT8405CW washer and are happy to help. While this model doesn’t include a dedicated “Delicate” cycle, you can still launder your delicate garments safely: Troubleshooting Step • Create a gentle wash environment by selecting the AI Wash cycle, setting the Spin Speed to Low, Soil Level to Light, and Temperature to Cold. This combination mimics a delicate cycle and helps protect your fabrics. Optional Downloadable Gentle Cycle • Via the LG ThinQ® app, use the Downloaded cycle feature to add a specialized gentle wash, such as the Wrinkle Stop/Gentle Wave or Lingerie cycle. These downloaded programs are designed for delicate items and include lower spin speeds and extra rinses. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-5-3-cu-ft-high-efficiency-smart-top-load-washer-with-turbowash3d-technology-alpine-white/6573556.p?skuId=6573556 If you’d like more guidance on using downloaded cycles or need further assistance, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport.

  • 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. We’re happy to assist! Thank you for choosing LG! —Renzo

  • QuestionCan i choose the spin setting manually. I want to be able to change spin cycle for each wash option if I choose. I have an older lg washer n I absolutely love it. I can choose a cycle n change the options manually if I want.

    Asked by Luz.

    • Answer Hello there, Luz. Thank you for sharing your question with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the manual settings of your WT8405CW. To answer your question directly based on official LG resources, you can indeed manually adjust the spin speed for most wash cycles to suit your preference. After selecting your desired wash cycle, simply press the "Spin" button repeatedly to cycle through the available speed settings before pressing the Start/Pause button. Additionally, if you require a "Spin Only" cycle, you can perform this by powering on the unit, ensuring no wash cycle is selected, pressing the "Spin" button to choose your speed, and then pressing Start/Pause. This flexibility ensures you can treat your fabrics exactly how you prefer, maintaining the customizable experience you enjoyed with your previous LG model.

  • Questionwhat additional items (that are not included) do i need to purchase, to be able to use this product?

    Asked by Amber.

    • Answer Hello there, Amber. We understand your inquiry about the additional items needed to use the WT8405CB washer. We want to ensure you have everything required for a successful installation and operation. Since the WT8405CB is a washer, the necessary additional items that are generally not included with the unit itself but are essential for installation and use are: Washer Inlet Hoses: You will need two water inlet hoses to connect the washer to your home's hot and cold water supply. Drain Hose: While a drain hose is often included, it is always a good idea to confirm its length and presence. If not included, or if a longer one is needed, it must be purchased. Detergents and Fabric Care Products: Appropriate laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach (as desired) are needed for washing. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-5-3-cu-ft-high-efficiency-smart-top-load-washer-with-turbowash3d-technology-matte-black/JJ8VPZQZR4 If you have any further questions about connecting the WT8405CB or the required accessories, please contact us on [email protected], and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo

    Asked by JohnyO.

    • Answer Hi there, JohnyO. Thank you for your question. We understand your inquiry regarding the temperature settings for the short cycle on your WT8405CW. To answer your question, yes, you can generally use hot water on the Quick Wash cycle.
