Pilling of garments in the LG 5.5 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity Smart Top Load Washer with Impeller, EasyUnload™ & AI Sensing, Model # WT8400CW, or any other washing machine regardless of brand or manufacturer, is due to excessive agitation, high spin speeds, or overloading. When clothes rub against each other too much, it leads to fiber breakage and tangling, creating those annoying pills. Using gentle cycles, lower spin speeds, and washing similar fabrics together can help reduce this problem. Excessive agitation during wash cycles can cause fibers to break and tangle, leading to pilling on clothes. High spin speeds may create friction between garments, increasing the likelihood of fabric pilling. Overloading the washing machine restricts movement, resulting in more rubbing and wear on fabrics. Using hot water can weaken fibers, making them more prone to pilling compared to cold or warm washes. Washing different fabric types together can heighten friction, contributing to pilling on softer materials. Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them, while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.). Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. You should adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. To avoid overloading the washer, the washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily. Although the washer does not have a 'Delicates' cycle, it has a Downloaded cycle with which you can use your smartphone to download a specialized cycle to this cycle position, the default cycle is the Delicates cycle. You can refer to the LG ThinQ application to see other cycles that are available for download....^Ivan.
