Reviewed answers
- LG · Laundry · WM4000HBA · reviewed answer
Can I install the washer on a slippery floor?
Yes, but the manual says it may move because of excessive vibration. If that happens, install non-skid pads under the leveling feet.
- LG · Laundry · WM4000HBA · reviewed answer
Can I use regular detergent in this washer?
No. The washer is designed for HE (High-Efficiency) detergents only. Using non-HE detergent may cause oversudsing, poor performance, error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage.
- LG · Laundry · DLEX4000B · reviewed answer
Is it normal for the dryer to feel cool at the start of a cycle?
Yes, if the Energy Saver option is selected. The manual says this option adds an air-dry section at the beginning of the cycle, so it is normal to feel no heat at first.
- LG · Laundry · WM4000HBA · reviewed answer
What happens if I leave the shipping materials in place?
Failure to remove the shipping materials can cause excessive noise and vibration, and leaving the shipping bolts and retainers in place may lead to permanent damage to the washer.
- LG · Laundry · WM4000HBA · reviewed answer
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.
