LG answers
- DLEX4000B · LG Electric Dryer
Can I overload the dryer?
No. The manual says not to overload the dryer. Overloading reduces drying performance and energy efficiency, and clothes need room to tumble and dry properly.
- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
Can I put detergent packs in the dispenser drawer?
No. Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, gel detergents, and tablet detergents directly in the drum before loading laundry.
- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
Can I reach into the washer while the drum is moving?
No. Press Start/Pause and wait until the tub or drum stops completely before loading, unloading, or adding items.
- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
Can I use powdered detergent in the main wash compartment?
Yes. The main wash compartment accepts either powdered or liquid detergent.

Can I use regular detergent in this washer?

Does turning the controls to OFF disconnect power?

- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer

- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
What should I do before washing clothes for the first time?
Select the Normal cycle, add half the usual amount of detergent, and run the washer without clothes to remove possible manufacturing residue and water from the drum.
- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
What should I do if the washer leaks?
Check the hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks, and splits, and tighten the connections. Also check for a clogged house drain, a drain hose that came out or was not inserted far enough, and oversudsing from using too much detergent.
- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
Where should I put detergent packs, gel detergents, or tablet detergents?
Place them in the drum before loading the laundry. Do not put them in the dispenser.
- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
Why is detergent not dispensing completely?
Common causes are putting detergent in the wrong compartment, not closing the dispenser drawer fully, using too much detergent, low water supply, or normal residue buildup in the dispenser.
- WM4000HBA · LG Front Load Washer
Why is there so little water in my washer? How can it clean the clothes?
That is normal for an HE (High-Efficiency) washer. It uses a minimum amount of water and energy, and the low water level makes the detergent more concentrated for effective cleaning.
