    Very Good Washer; Quieter than Our Old LG

    We previously had an LG washer, also a front loader, that we purchased when our home was built back in 2007. At the time, LG had just started making clothes washers and driers, so I purchased the extended warranty even though that is almost never recommended by consumer experts. We never needed it, and now the prior LG washer is several years past the expected lifespan of a clothes washer. The prior LG washer did start some minor leaking recently. Given the cost of even getting repairmen out to look at an appliance, and the fact that the old washer is well past a washer's average lifespan, we decided to replace it. I purchased this replacement, and got a quick delivery date and installation from Best Buy. Despite the fact that the tub is larger, the cost was almost half that of the prior washer. That's how much the technology of front loaders has advanced over the years. While the prior washer was never bad noise-wise, this one is distinctly quieter. And unlike the old one, we can actually leave items like folded, clean laundry on top of this one while running a load, and they will not fall off. Both the older LG and this one are very good at cleaning laundry, though I do not have a chem lab in my house to actually test that. However, this particular model was at the top of "best washers" in a "leading consumer magazine," and they almost certainly *do* have such a lab.

    DO NOT forget to take out the shipping screws when installing the washer, or it will be very noisy. Works well, uses less power and water than our old washer (2010ish model don't remember the brand).

    Horrible machine /very poorly designed

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have owned many different washers in my life. I have never had one that I had any complaints about. This, washer, however, is the absolute worst. Starting from the first day, the chemical odor was horrible. According to LG, it will go away. I got that reply after 2 weeks of constant messages and texts. I wonder if they have a quota of replies before they can just ignore an inquiry. More important, the machine does not clean well. We are an active family and wash multiple loads a day. About half the time the washer decides to run a fast load and the other half a very long load. The website says it can be due to the size and type of load. Our experience is that the sensors don't work at all. It is frustrating to dry laundry loads and have them reek when they are done. Additionally, the choices of load, speed, temperature etc are useless. You have to start the load, then stop it, in order to make changes with any of these things from the apparent presets. We end up doing a normal load each time and going through three steps to get close to the type of washing we desire. Lastly, the information provided on the machine is minimal to none. Perhaps there are other ways to go around the presets but we could not get any information online. No complete manual available. I wish I had purchased the Samsung model that we just replaced!

      Hi, Susan. Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with the LG Washer (WM4000HBA) model. We understand your concern about facing these challenges, especially when doing multiple loads a day for an active family. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. Let’s address your concerns and see how we can help improve your experience with the washer.

      The chemical odor you mentioned is typically due to manufacturing residues. Running a few empty cycles with hot water and a washing machine cleaner, like LG's Tub Cleaner, should help eliminate the smell. For guidance, you may visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71kKEb5FNnI. For cleaning performance, ensure the detergent and fabric softener are used within the recommended amounts, as excess can affect washing efficiency and leave residues. https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-clothing-not-clean-properly--1337626293790.

      Regarding the load variability and sensor behavior, running loads balanced and within the machine’s capacity can optimize cycle performance. If adjustments to speed, temperature, or other settings are not saving properly, resetting the unit by unplugging it for 10 minutes may help recalibrate the controls. For detailed instructions on customizing cycles, the full user manual is available online on the LG support website by searching your model number.

      We’d love to assist you further and explore solutions tailored to your needs. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so our team can address this directly. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we’re here to help. ^Juvy LG

    Excellent purchase, we use both the Washer and Dryer every day. The installers were very kind and helpful! We purchased a washer and dryer for another house through another company a few years ago and had a bad experience and had to hire someone to come to the house to balance the washer

    Broke @ 18 Months, Repair Costs More Than New One!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I learned a lot. Just replace seals & bearing, YT vids say. No, LG took care of that: the part that corrodes and breaks, every time, is the aluminum spinner aka spider. Before this model it could be replaced, but now it cannot, the outer drum is cemented instead of bolted. To fix, replace the assembly: $679+shp+tax parts alone! It lasted only 18 months…this is Anti-American!!

      Hi there, Thank you for sharing your experience and the lessons you have learned. It is disappointing to hear that you had to replace seals and bearings only to discover a more significant issue with the aluminum spinner. We understand your frustration with the design change that makes it difficult to replace the part, leading to a costly replacement of the entire assembly. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. Your feedback is valuable, and we will ensure it is passed on to the relevant teams for improvement. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this situation. Thank you for expressing your concerns, and we are sorry for the anti-American sentiment you feel regarding this issue. Please reach out to us on social media @LGUSSupport so we can help you further. ^Cris LG

    Runs very well. It is quiet, cleans fast, and is easy to use. The AI intelligence decides what wash is the best so all you have to do is load it and push one button and you are good to go.

    Literally asked Best Buy staff which washer and dryer they would purchase if they had to buy a set in the store and this was the recommended one. Looks great and it was within our budget so we trusted our professional Best Buy representative and bought the set. They arrived the time we scheduled it for and installed it no problem. The washer and dryer works efficiently and also has many useless functions, but it gets the job done well. Shout out to Timmy, he was patient and walked us through all the details!

    We got this during a recent sale, and can't say enough about the washer itself. Installation and set up was a breeze. We haven't used all the features yet, but the quick wash is perfect for freshening up garments. The spin cycle leaves clothes practically dry, which will further increase our energy savings. We have been able to wash our king-sized comforter in the machine, and the extra capacity helps to avoid spending all day washing smaller loads. The only complaint I have is with LG and their Thinq app. Our Samsung A10e phones apparently don't have the firepower to run the app? What in the world is so complex about the app? My wife installed it on her (older, to us) phone, and all it does is report washing status, advise when you need to clean components and the like. The app seems to be useful, but the developers disappointed me with the lack of compatibility.
