How to improve soil removal in LG WT5101HW Washer?
- C
  Crystal MillerAug 1, 2025
  To improve soil removal when washing with your LG Washer, ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent for your load size, soil level, and water hardness. Using WARM or HOT water may also help for normal soil, though different water temperatures may be needed based on the type of soil. For heavily soiled laundry, use the Heavy or Soak & Heavy wash cycle. Also, separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, and pretreat any stains with detergent or a stain removal agent before washing.

Why does my LG WT5101HW Washer leave blue stains on clothes?
- C
  Cassie LoganAug 19, 2025
  Blue stains on clothes washed in your LG Washer can occur if undiluted fabric softener is dispensed directly onto the fabric. Avoid overfilling the fabric softener dispenser and never pour liquid fabric softener directly onto clothes. Also, a buildup caused by the interaction of fabric softener and detergent can flake off and mark clothes, so keep the recommendations against Scrud (waxy buildup).

Why is my LG Washer causing yellow or brown rust stains on clothes?

  Jason LeeAug 26, 2025
  Yellow or brown rust stains on clothes after washing in your LG Washer may be due to iron or manganese in your water supply, water pipes, or water heater. For an ongoing problem, consider installing a nonprecipitating water softener or an iron filter in your water supply system.
