A:AnswerHello Carl.
There have been many advances and improvements in LG washers and every time that a new model succeeds the previous model, it improves on the older model. Without knowing what previous generation LG Front Load Washer you're referring to it's hard to say what those advancements are.
The LG - TurboWash 4.3 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer - Graphite Steel, Model WM3570HVA has a TUB CLEAN cycle that you should run once a week for three consecutive weeks should you notice mildew or musty smells which are a result of residue that has built up due to some environmental conditions or usage of the washer. The Washer also has a magnetic plunger that allows you to safely and conveniently secure the door slightly ajar to promote air circulation and help the machine to dry. Improper installation or use of the washing
machine in a humid space for a long period of time potentially could lead to a buildup of
detergent residue in the washing machine that may produce mildew or musty smells. Cleaning the washer tub on a monthly basis with the TUB CLEAN cycle will minimize the possibility that detergent residue will build up and mildew or musty smells may occur. Keep in mind that you also introduce Laundry bacteria when washing your clothes which may also contribute to mold and mildew build up. This washer also has a SANITARY cycle that is NSF International certified to reduce 99% of bacteria on laundry through high temperature when used with powdered detergents.
Another feature that probably was not on earlier washers is the Automatic Alert for cleaning the washer tub. The Automatic indication alert generally comes on every 1-2 months to indicate that the tub needs cleaning but this may vary depending on frequency of use.
Things that you can do to help preventing mold and mildew would be to keep the detergent dispenser drawer free of detergent residue by using a soft cloth or brush to clean out the residue. Periodically clean the tub about once a month and leave the door open after you do your laundry to help drying the tub out...IFV

A:AnswerAfter weeks of dealing with LG, the Geek Squad and the store I purchased the washer from. the problem is from the stainless steel hoses Best Buy requires to purchase even though LG supplies them with the washer. LG recommends only using their rubber hoses.

A:AnswerGiven that our clothing today is never really dirty, I often use the "quick wash" option which gets a load done in 15-20 minutes. Another 30 mins in the dryer and...done!
A:Answermy owner's manual says to avoid putting water proof items in machine. apparently, those articles can throw off the balance of the machine and affect cleaning also.
A:AnswerHi Christine.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The answer already provided about being able to add garments after the wash cycle has been initiated is how you would go about it but you should also be aware that if the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door locks and cannot be opened, and if you're using the Steam Cycle, do not touch the door as it can become extremely hot...^IFV
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry and interest in the LG - TurboWash 4.3 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer - White ? Model # WM3570HWA.
Not all LG Front Loaders have the option to reverse the door, only a select few can be reversed and regrettably, the WM3570HWA is not one of those units that has a reversible door...IFV
