      Rattling and clanking noises in your LG washer might be due to foreign objects, such as keys, coins, or safety pins, in the drum or pump. Stop the washer and check the drum for any foreign objects. If the noise continues after restarting the washer, call for service.

      If you notice water leaking around your LG washer, check the fill hoses for loose connections at the tap or washer and tighten them. Also, inspect the house drain pipes for clogs and unclog them if necessary, or contact a plumber. If you are washing large items, use the BULKY/BEDDING cycle and ensure bulky items are properly laid into the tub.

      Paul BarrettAug 25, 2025
      If your LG washer is filling with water slowly or not at all, make sure the water supply taps are fully open and that the water line hoses are not kinked, pinched, or bent. Also, the water inlet filters may be clogged, so clean them. Finally, check another faucet in the house to ensure that household water pressure is adequate.

    Why is my LG WT5070CW Washer not filling with enough water?
    • D
      Devin DavisAug 27, 2025
      Your LG washer may not be filling properly because the filters are clogged, or the fill hoses may be kinked. Ensure that the filters are free of solids by turning off the water and checking the filter after disconnecting the hose at the machine. Also, check that the fill hoses are not kinked or clogged. This washer is energy-efficient, so water may not cover the top level of the clothes, which is normal. Make sure that the water supply is turned on and the faucets are completely open. The washer lid must be closed for all washer cycle operations. Make sure that the fill hoses connect the hot water supply to the hot inlet on the washer, and the cold water supply to the cold inlet on the washer (hot to hot, cold to cold).

      nunezbeckyDec 1, 2025
      Incomplete or no dispensing of detergent in your LG washer may be due to detergent compartments clogged from incorrect filling. Make sure that detergent and additives are put in to the correct dispenser compartments. If liquid detergent is used, make sure that the liquid detergent cup and insert are in the detergent compartment. If powdered detergent is used, make sure that the liquid detergent cup and insert are not used. For all detergent types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is fully closed before the start of the cycle. Also, ensure that the suggested amount of detergent is used per the manufacture’s recommendations. You may also dilute the detergent with water to the maximum fill line on the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent. Make sure ...

    Why is bleach dispensing prematurely in my LG WT5070CW?
    • S
      Scott SalinasSep 18, 2025
      Bleach may be dispensing prematurely in your LG washer because you cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future use. The bleach dispenser will be dispensed every load for optimal safety of the washer. Also, overfilling the dispenser with bleach may lead to premature dispensing. There is a maximum fill line indicated on the bleach dispenser to help avoid overfilling.

      If your LG washer is making a vibrating noise, stop the washer and rearrange the wash load to distribute it evenly in the drum. Adjust the leveling feet to ensure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor while the washer is in the spin cycle. Make sure that the floor is solid and does not flex.
