    Awful performance

    Dear BestBuy managers, Almost three months ago, I purchased an LG washer and dryer that were supposed to be among the best on the market. All I can say is that I am very dissatisfied with my purchase. The washer does not clean as it should; it leaves my clothes somewhat dirty. And as for the dryer, it not only fails to remove all the pet hair, but the fabric softener sheets I use also get stuck in the drum's openings, which are supposed to efficiently expel hair and lint. It’s unacceptable that I spent nearly two thousand dollars on these two machines and am experiencing worse performance than the machines I had before. What I am requesting is the replacement of both machines with ones that are more effective and intelligent. I hope to hear from you soon. I plan to visit my local BestBuy store in Vallejo, CA, to seek a resolution to my dissatisfaction. Sincerely, Carlos Somocurcio Leon

      Hi, Carlos. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the LG Washer (WT8600CB) model. We understand your concern, especially after investing in LG appliances. We strive for reliable, high-quality products and ensure a smooth and seamless experience. If the washer is not cleaning effectively, there are a few things we can check, like load size, detergent type, or cycle selection. We also recommend running the Deep Clean cycle to help maintain optimal performance.

      Regarding the dryer, pet hair can sometimes be difficult to remove entirely, especially if there’s a heavy buildup, but we do have tips on improving lint removal. Also, fabric softener sheets getting stuck could be due to the type of sheet being used or the positioning within the drum. For quick help, you may visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-clothing-not-clean-properly--1337626293790. To best assist you, we recommend that you reach out to us privately so that we can review your concerns in more detail and provide troubleshooting steps, or arrange for a technician to assess the units. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and we will work to resolve this matter swiftly.

      We appreciate your patience and are here to help. ^Juvy LG

    Very bad wash results. Its not able to fully flip the clothes. For heavy soiled clothes, it kept on just shake the clothes for 1 hour. The clothes on the top layer stayed on the top for 1 hour. How can you expect the best wash results with this. I recommend LG to put an large auger in it that can help to rotate clothes from the moment it starts.

      Hi, RavRav. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Washer (WT8600CB) model. We understand how important it is for your washer to move clothes effectively, especially when dealing with heavy‑soiled loads, and we appreciate you taking the time to describe what you’re seeing.

      A helpful step you can try is to reduce the load size and redistribute the items, as large or tightly packed loads can prevent the wash plate from circulating clothes from top to bottom. This model relies on proper load balance and water movement rather than a traditional agitator, so giving the items more room often improves turnover. You can also review loading and wash‑performance tips here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-WT8600CB.AEBETUS. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your unit’s performance or explore additional options with you, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ^Juvy LG

    I am 28 cycles in and have had it fill the entire tub twice after the app told me the wash was complete. I wrote customer service who told me to plug a hair dryer into the outlet and see if it trips because they are pretty sure the outlet is bad. I ended that chat as the person did not know what the were talking about and I called customer service. This person informed me there was an imbalance and that it was filling with water to rebalance it. That would make sense if it was still running unfortunately the cycle was done and the app told me it was done and the tub filled with water for the next 5 mins. I had to wait for the water to drain. The customer service agent then informed me they can send someone out on my dime because nothing was wrong. Thankfully I am still in the return period and will avoid LG in the future.

    Please do not waste your money on this washer. The software updates from the manufacturer disabled our machine. LG has been out twice and cannot fix the machine. Best Buy “can’t do anything since it is within the manufacturer warranty period.” Save your funds because you will end up frustrated with this machine.

      Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG - 5.5 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer. We understand that the machine is currently disabled following a software update and that your attempts to get the unit repaired have not been successful. We understand your inquiry and the frustration caused by not having a functioning washing machine, especially one that is still under warranty.

      To address the software-related issue and potentially restore functionality, a simple power cycle or hard reset can sometimes clear internal glitches that follow updates.

      Basic Troubleshooting Step (Hard Reset):

      Press the Power button to turn the washer OFF.

      Unplug the washer's power cord from the wall outlet or turn off the circuit breaker to the unit.

      While the power is disabled, press and hold the Start/Pause button for 5 seconds to discharge any residual electricity.

      Plug the washer back in or turn the circuit breaker back on, and try restarting a cycle.

      Since technicians have already visited, and the unit remains disabled, we need to gather your specific case details to escalate this matter and find a complete resolution. Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to assist you further with your ongoing warranty service concern. —Renzo LG

      Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your situation and how concerning it must have been to receive your new WT8600CB Top Load Washer in that condition. While you decided to return the unit, we’d still like to help should you ever consider LG again in the future. In cases like this, a factory residue or leftover detergent may sometimes be present due to final quality testing. For future reference, performing a Tub Clean cycle without laundry before the first use can help prevent leaks and remove any remaining detergent from the dispenser.

    I had such high hope for this washer!! However, I absolutely HATE it!!! The clothes (from the very beginning) come out dirtier than when they went in. We have Siberian huskies...so lots of fur. You can't tell there is fur on the clothes going in, but they are covered in fur and caked with gunk coming out! I do every load using DEEP FILL just to add extra water, but it doesn't matter. I so regret paying so much $ and buying this washer!!!

      Hi, Steve. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your concern about the LG Washer (WT8600CB) model, especially when it’s not performing as expected with your loads of laundry and with the pet fur. We strive to provide high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations.

      To start, we recommend trying the "Heavy Duty" cycle if you're washing particularly dirty or fur-filled loads, as it’s designed to provide a more thorough cleaning. Additionally, using a pet hair removal product or a lint filter for the washer can help reduce the amount of fur that clings to clothes. It’s also helpful to clean the drain pump filter and the wash tub, as buildup can sometimes impact washing performance. For more help, you may visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-clothing-not-clean-properly--1337626293790.

      If you continue to have issues, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. We'll work with you to troubleshoot further and explore solutions to ensure your washer is working effectively. We truly appreciate your patience and are here to assist in making this right. ^Juvy LG

      Hi, Todd. It's important to us that you have a positive experience with your LG washer and dryer. To address the issues you're facing with your washer not cleaning clothes or pulling liquid soap from the tray, we recommend the following steps:

      1. Ensure that the washer is properly installed, including leveling and water connections.
      2. Sometimes, residue can block the tray. Remove and thoroughly clean the soap tray to ensure smooth soap flow.
      3. Make sure the washer is not overloaded, which can affect cleaning efficiency. Distribute clothes evenly to allow proper water flow and detergent dispersion.
      4. Choose the appropriate wash cycle for the type and amount of laundry you're cleaning.

      If these steps don't resolve the issue, please contact us directly at @LGUSSupport. Our team will help expedite the return process with Best Buy or arrange for a technician to inspect and resolve the problem. We aim to ensure your complete satisfaction with our products. ^Sam LG
