Your LG Washer might be dispensing bleach too early if the bleach dispenser is filled for a future load, or if the bleach dispenser is overfilled. Do not store bleach in the dispenser for future use, as it will dispense every load. Overfilling the bleach dispenser will cause the bleach to dispense immediately.
What to do if my LG Washer is leaking water?
If your LG Washer is leaking water, check the inlet hose connections at the faucet and the washer to make sure they are tight. Inspect the hoses for leaks, cracks, or splits. Also, check the drain hose to ensure it's properly inserted into the drainpipe and not clogged. If water is backing up out of the drainpipe, examine the drain hose installation and look for any restrictions in the drain. If necessary, contact a plumber to repair the drainpipe.
What to do if my LG WT1001CW Washer will not operate?
If your LG Washer isn't operating, first check if the control panel has powered off due to inactivity - press the POWER button to turn it on. Ensure the washer is plugged into a working outlet and that both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on. Make sure the cycle is set correctly, the lid is closed, and you've pressed the START/PAUSE button. Check the circuit breakers/fuses and replace/reset if necessary. If power was interrupted, press the POWER button, re-select the cycle, and press START/PAUSE.
Why is my LG Washer not draining water?
If your LG Washer isn't draining water, check the drain hose for any kinks. Also, ensure that the drain is not located higher than 96 inches above the floor. The drain hose should be no more than 8 ft above the bottom of the washer and no more than 5 ft away from it.
Why is my LG WT1001CW producing excessive suds?
Excessive sudsing in your LG Washer is likely due to using too much detergent or the incorrect type. Make sure you are using only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents, which are specifically formulated for HE washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Refer to the 'How to Use' section for correct detergent quantities.
Why is my LG WT1001CW Washer making a vibrating noise?
A vibrating noise in your LG Washer can occur if packaging materials weren't removed during installation. It can also happen if the wash load is unevenly distributed, the leveling feet aren't firmly on the floor, or the floor isn't rigid enough. Refer to the 'Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material' section, redistribute the load, see 'Leveling the Washer', and ensure the floor is solid.
Why does my LG WT1001CW Washer leak because of oversudsing?
Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent used. High-Efficiency detergent is the only detergent recommended. Make sure that detergent and any additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments. The normal amount of detergent to use is 1/4 to 1/2 of the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Always reduce the amount of detergent if the load is small or lightly soiled, or if your water is very soft. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
How to improve stain removal in my LG Washer?
To improve stain removal in your LG Washer, select appropriate options for heavier soils and tougher stains. Use the Soak or Stain Care feature to boost the cleaning power of the selected cycle.
Why does my LG WT1001CW leak water every load?
If your LG Washer leaks water every load, the hoses may not be installed correctly. Check all fill and drain hose connections to ensure they are tight and secure.
Why does my LG WT1001CW Washer leave stains on clothes?
Staining in your LG Washer can occur if bleach or softener is dispensed too soon, added directly to the wash load, or if the washer isn't unloaded promptly. Also, improper sorting of clothes can cause staining. Ensure the dispenser compartment isn't overfilled, always use the dispensers, promptly remove items after the cycle, and wash dark colors separately from light colors.
