  • 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.

  • QuestionOnce a wash cycle is downloaded to the machine do you put in in the download setting and does it stay there, like a delicate setting or do you have to use the app to get to it?

    Asked by Dave.

    • Answer Thank you for your interest in the LG Washer. To use a wash cycle you downloaded on your LG WT8405CB washing machine, follow these simple steps: Select the Downloaded Cycle: After downloading a cycle from the LG ThinQ app, choose it on your washing machine's control panel. Look for the "Download" option. Cycle Retention: Remember, the downloaded cycle won’t stay set like the regular cycles (e.g., delicate or normal). You have to select it each time you wash since the machine won't automatically keep it. Using the App: You can choose the downloaded cycle from the machine or manage it using the app for more customization. However, it’s not necessary to use the app every time. In summary: After downloading a cycle, select it manually on the machine for each wash, as it won't stay set like standard cycles. You can download its owner's manual through this link for more information: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-WT8405CB.AEBETUS.

  • QuestionIs there a way to use this washer fully manually - can I set the water level and temperature and spin all together in one wash cycle? if so, can I then save my settings?

    Asked by Elena.

    • Answer Hello, Elena. Thank you for your inquiry about the LG WT8405CW washer. While this model does not have a fully manual mode where you can set each cycle parameter individually (water level, temperature, and spin speed), it does offer various wash cycles with preset options for water level, temperature, and spin. You can select a wash cycle that best fits your needs, and the washer will automatically adjust the water level, temperature, and spin speed accordingly. Unfortunately, this model does not have a feature to save customized settings for future use. If you have specific preferences for water level and temperature, you can choose a cycle that aligns closely with your requirements. For further assistance or recommendations on using your washer effectively, please send us a private message on our social media platform via @LGUSSupport, and our team will be happy to assist you.
