    I’ve had a horrible experience with this machine since it was first delivered. It completed 2 loads of laundry very well on the AI cycle but then gave an error code when trying to do a cycle on Bedding. Best Buy came out and said “the machine is defective” (they were here less than 5 minutes) so a week later I get another brand new machine delivered and it’s doing the same thing but now Best Buy keeps referring me to LG directly who are not being helpful at all. I would recommend staying away from this machine!!

    I bought this washer at the end of November and it’s already not working. It constantly shows an IE error code. I’ve replaced the hoses and had my water pressure checked, and everything is fine on my end. For a new washer to fail this quickly is extremely frustrating. I expected much better. On a side note, my dryer works perfectly, so this is clearly an issue with the washer itself.

      Hi, Erica. Thank you for taking the time to share what’s been happening with your LG Washer (WT8200CL) model. We understand the importance of having a new washer operate reliably, especially when you’ve already checked your hoses and water pressure and everything looks good on your end.

      One helpful step you can try is inspecting the inlet filters located inside the hot and cold water ports on the back of the washer. Even a small amount of sediment can restrict flow and trigger an IE code. Remove the hoses, gently clean the mesh filters, reconnect them, and run a quick cycle to see if the code clears. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-error-code-list--20150140270078. We’d like to take a closer look at your unit and assist you directly. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so we can continue helping you. ^Juvy LG

      Hi there, BobbyS. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer with Easy Unload - Platinum Black. We understand your inquiry regarding the noise levels experienced during the rinse and spin cycles compared to your previous unit. Your feedback is important, and we want to ensure your washer is operating as intended.

      To help reduce noise and vibration, we recommend verifying that the shipping bolts were completely removed during installation and ensuring the leveling legs are firmly adjusted so the unit does not rock. It is also helpful to confirm that the load is balanced and not tightly packed, as high-efficiency motors can produce different sounds than older models during high-speed extraction. We would like to assist you further and look into this for you.

    This washer came with an inlet error code. It started the cycle but couldn’t complete it because it had a I.E code flashing. The crew that came to pick it up tried to make all kinds of excuses (mansplaining) as to why it had a “13” error code. He didn’t even know what he was talking about. Extremely disappointing experience. A lot of time was wasted trying to return it and they didn’t even reload my gift card properly

      Hi, Atieno. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the LG Washer (WT8200CW) model. We understand how important it is for your appliance to work properly right from the start, and we’re here to help guide you through this.

      The I.E (Inlet Error) code typically indicates that the washer is not receiving enough water. Here are a few steps you can try:

      Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully open.

      Check that the inlet hoses are not kinked or clogged.

      Inspect the mesh filters at the hose connections for any debris and clean them if needed. You can find more troubleshooting tips here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-troubleshooting-an-ie-error-code--1400510401752.

      Hi, Andrew. Thank you for reaching out about your LG Washer (WT8200CW) model. We understand how important it is for your laundry cycles to deliver clean results. One helpful step you can try is selecting the Deep Wash cycle, which uses additional water and extended agitation to improve cleaning performance. Also, make sure loads are evenly distributed in the drum to reduce tangling and ensure proper wash action. You can find more guidance here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-clothing-not-clean-properly--1337626293790.

      Hello there, SylviaH. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand that your WT8200CW washer's loud noises, shaking, and cycle repetition have been challenging. Your feedback is important, and we'd like to assist you further.

      To address the issues you're encountering, please consider the following troubleshooting steps:

      Balance the Load: Unevenly distributed laundry can cause the washer to become unbalanced, leading to excessive noise and shaking. Ensure that the load is evenly spread within the drum. Avoid washing single bulky items, as they can cause imbalance; instead, wash them with additional items to maintain balance. ​

      Level the Washer: An unlevel washer can result in vibrations and noise during operation. Place a level on top of the washer and adjust its feet as necessary to ensure it's sitting evenly on the floor. This can help reduce shaking and noise. ​

      Inspect for Foreign Objects: Sometimes, items like coins or small articles of clothing can get trapped between the drum and the tub, causing knocking sounds. After ensuring the washer is unplugged, carefully check and remove any foreign objects from the drum area. ​

      If these steps do not resolve the issue, there may be a concern with internal components such as the suspension rods or shock absorbers, which help stabilize the drum during cycles. Worn or damaged suspension rods can lead to increased shaking and noise. ​

      Hi, Bran. Thank you for reaching out about your LG Washer (WT8200CW) model. We understand the importance of having a washer that works properly from the very first use. If you still have the unit on hand, one helpful step you can try is a power reset by unplugging the washer for about 60 seconds and plugging it back in. This can help refresh the control system and may allow the sensor to recalibrate.

      Hi, Rachal. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand your experience with the LG Washer (WT8200CW) model and the water fill level during wash cycles. This model uses high-efficiency Smart Water Level sensing, which adjusts the amount of water based on load size and fabric type to conserve energy and water.

      To enhance water coverage, try the Deep Wash cycle and select the Water Plus option before starting your load for extra water. Also, ensure the washer is on a level surface for proper water distribution.

      Hello there, GeraldhG. We understand your inquiry regarding the clunking noise on your LG WT8200CW washer during cycle transitions. This sound can sometimes occur due to the drum shifting as it changes between cycles, especially if the washer is leveling or balancing the load. To help minimize this noise, please ensure that your washer is placed on a firm, level surface and that all four feet are properly adjusted for stability.
