      Hi, Todd. Thank you for reaching out about your LG Washer (WT8400CW) model. We understand how important it is for your appliance to power on and perform reliably, and we appreciate you sharing what’s been happening.

      If your washer won’t turn on, we recommend trying a full power reset: unplug the unit for 60 seconds, then plug it back in. Make sure it’s connected to a dedicated outlet and that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Also, check that the Control Lock feature isn’t activated — if it is, press and hold the Control Lock button for 3 seconds to disable it. You can find more troubleshooting steps here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-why-wont-my-lg-washing-machine-power-on--20150791852235TWW. If you’d like us to assist further or help coordinate service options, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We’re here to help get your washer back in action. ^Juvy LG

    I absolutely HATE this washing machine. Sensors are messed up, either not enough water for the load or so much water it doesnt have the power to move the top clothes. Either way the last clothes loaded dont ever get clean bc they dont ever move to the bottom of the tub. Worse purchase ever and desperately want to return it.

      Hi, Tiffany. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand your concern about the LG Washer (WT8400CW) model not meeting your expectations. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products and ensure a smooth experience.

      It sounds like the washer’s water level sensor might be misbehaving, which can affect the cycle performance. A helpful troubleshooting step would be to check if the load size is properly balanced, as unbalanced loads can sometimes cause the machine to add too much or too little water. Also, if you haven't tried it yet, you might want to run a "Tub Clean" cycle to ensure there are no blockages affecting the sensors. For guidance, you may visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-how-to-clean-the-tub-of-your-lg-washing-machine--20150635948425.

      We’re here to resolve this with you. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and our team will gladly assist you further to explore possible solutions and make sure your machine is functioning as expected.

      We appreciate your patience and look forward to helping you get this sorted. ^Juvy LG

      Hi, Isela. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand how important it is for your LG Washer (WT8400CW) model to handle all types of stains, especially when you're investing in a large-capacity washer. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. As a first troubleshooting step, we recommend trying the "Heavy Duty" wash cycle with a pre-treatment option for stubborn stains. For dirt stains, using a stain remover or adding an extra rinse cycle could help get the best results. You might also want to check the detergent you're using to make sure it's suitable for your washer’s capabilities.

    The LG washer has sensors to determine balance and water amount. It is always much too little or will fill and overflow. Will be reaching out to return.

      Hi there, Seever7. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG WT8400CW Top Load Washer. We understand your inquiry regarding the sensor-based water levels and load balancing. This model uses LG’s Auto-Sensing feature to optimize water usage, but if the unit is consistently underfilling or overfilling, we recommend resetting the washer by unplugging it for 60 seconds, then plugging it back in and running a Tub Clean cycle to recalibrate the sensors. Also, ensure the washer is leveled properly and that loads are distributed evenly in the drum to help the sensors work effectively.

    Had this for a couple months and very dissatisfied. For light loads it can't calculate the correct water amount and there's not enough. It agitates our clothes horribly and wears them out much faster.

      Hi, Charlie. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how important it is to have a washer that meets your expectations, and we're here to help. We strive to provide high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. For your unit, we recommend trying the "Water Plus" feature, which adds extra water to the cycle and may help with lighter loads. Additionally, ensure you're selecting the proper cycle for your fabrics, as using more gentle cycles like "Delicates" or "Towels" can help reduce wear on clothing.
