INSTALLATION

Choosing the Proper Location

Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washing machine, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

Clean the floor before installation.

- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground. Two or more people are needed for moving and

unpacking the washing machine. Allow for sufficient space between the walls and

the washing machine for installation.

Space Requirements

You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain line, and airflow.

NOTE

Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor

moldings that may incr he required clearances.

Clearances

45" (114.3 cm)

25.2" (64 cm)

NOTE

The floor must be strong and rigid enough to

support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house. Before installing the washer, make sure the

floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor. If a drip pan must be used, take extra care

to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

large items first.

Large items should not be more than half of the

total washload.

The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items.

-The door of the washer should close easily.

Do not wash single items, except for bulky items

such as blankets. Make sure to wash laundry in similar types of loads.

- Washing a single small item may result in the tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating and making a noise.

Do not wash waterproof clothes.

- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.

Check if there are any foreign objects in the door

seal and take extra care that clothes do not get caught there.

- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain clothes, and water may leak if clothes get caught in the door seal.

Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry

net (mesh bag).

- Small, light items may get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the tub.

Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before

washing.

- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or sand on the fabrics, or items may be damaged due to particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.

Wash blankets individually.

- Washing more than one blanket in a load may produce inferior results due to tangling or an unbalanced load.

Always separate fabrics according to their colors

and wash them separately to prevent colors from running.

- Fabrics may be damaged or become stained due to fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects transferring from one fabric to another.

For best performance, load clothes as shown. u

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the

drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

- Do not press down on items while stacking

them in the drum.

PREPARATION

Using Detergent/Fabric Softener

Recommended Detergent

Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for front-loading washing machines. HE detergents dissolve more efficiently and produce fewer suds to ensure efficient washing and rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as indicated on the detergent packaging.

Specially designed to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

NOTE

Only use HE detergents, because using a

regular detergent may produce excessive suds. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve

more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Use less detergent for soft water.

Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids

could damage the finish and the control panel of the washing machine. Using too much detergent can cause a build-

up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory performance and machine malfunction. If you use a detergent that does not dissolve

easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue on the tub, which may not rinse properly.

Loading the Dispenser

The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing machine has a dispenser compartment for each detergent type. Add each detergent to its appropriate compartment.

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.

Add each detergent to its appropriate

compartment.

- If you use a liquid detergent, check if the liquid detergent cup is in place.

- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup and put the powder in the main wash detergent compartment.

Liquid fabric

softener

compartment

Main wash detergent compartment

Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.

- Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or pouring into the tub earlier than programmed.

Pre-wash detergent compartment

NOTE

It is normal for a small amount of water to

remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

PREPARATION

Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

NOTE

When using the pre-wash option, if liquid

detergent is to be used for the main wash, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in the main wash dispenser, to prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being dispensed immediately. The amount of detergent added for

the Pre-Wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 1/2 measure for the Pre-Wash option.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine. Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup on clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

NOTE

Always follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may result in stained clothes. Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm

water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Never pour fabric softener directly onto the

load or into the drum.

ENGLISH

NOTE

Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be

added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. When using liquid detergent, make sure the

liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. When using powdered detergent, remove

the insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

Possible Causes Solutions

Rearrange items to help balance the load.

Stuffed animals or mats can become unbalanced

during spinning and the washing machine may fail to drain. Rearrange the knitwear to help balance the load and drain it again. Put one blanket in at a time.

Turn on the faucets.

If a faucet is frozen, thaw it with warm water.

If the inlet filter is clogged, clean it. (see page 32)

Connect the water line properly with the

cold water inlet. (see page 14) Check that the water lines are not pinched

or bent. Take extra care that water lines are not twisted or pinched by other objects. Connect the water lines properly with the

faucets. (see page 14) Close and secure the door. If the message

keeps appearing, unplug the power and contact your nearest LG service center.

Lower the drain hose within 3 feet below

the end of the elbow bracket. Place the drain hose on a smooth surface to

prevent bending. If the drain hoses are frozen, thaw them in warm water.

Open the drain pump plug cap and remove the dirt.

The water level sensor is not working correctly.

Unplug the power cord and contact your

nearest LG service center. Rearrange the load size and restart the

washing machine. If the load size is big, the tub may not rotate

due to an overheated motor. Allow the washing machine to stand for a while and restart the cycle. Unplug the power cord and contact your nearest LG service center if the same error message appears. Please empty the tub and insert bleach into

the detergent dispenser and select the Tub Clean cycle. If you want to skip the Tub Clean, turn the

CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB or push the option buttons to select a cycle. The message will keep appearing until a few wash cycles have been completed, then it will disappear until the next scheduled time to clean the tub.

Before Calling for Service

Check the following before calling for service.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions

Clicking sound

Spraying or hissing sound

Buzzing or gushing sound

Splashing sound

Rattling and clanking noise

Thumping sound

Vibrating noise

Water leaking around washer

Excessive suds or failure to rinse

Do you hear a sound when you

close or lock and unlock the door?

Is water spraying in the tub?

Is the washing machine draining

water?

Is the washing machine washing a

load of laundry?

Are there any foreign objects such

as keys, coins, or safety pins in the tub or drain filter?

Is the washing machine overloaded?

Is the load out of balance?

Are the shipping bolts removed?

Is the load evenly distributed in the

tub? Is the washing machine level

balanced? Is the washing machine installed on

a solid and smooth surface? Is water leaking from a faucet or a

water line?

Is a drain pipe or a drain hose

clogged? Did you use more than the

recommended amount of detergent? Is the soil level higher than the size

of the load?

Did you add detergent directly to

the tub? Did you remove the load

immediately after it finished? Did you sort and wash the clothes

by color or soil?

This sound is normal and occurs

when the door is closed, locked or unlocked. This sound is normal as water is

spraying or circulating during the cycle.

This sound is normal as the drain

pump drains water from the washing machine after the cycle. This sound is normal as the load

is moving up and down during the wash and rinse cycles. Check if there are any foreign

objects in the tub and drain the filter after stopping the cycle. Unplug the power cord and contact

your nearest LG service center if the noise persists. This sound is normal and occurs

when the load is out of balance. Stop the cycle and rearrange the load for balancing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible Causes Solutions

Wrinkling

Power will not turn on

The door does not open when the cycle pauses or finishes

The wash cycle time is longer than usual

It is musty or moldy in the tub

Banging noise when washer is filling with water (Water Hammer)

Did you remove the load immediately

after it finished? Did you overload the tub?

Did you reverse the hot and cold water

inlets?

Is the power cord plugged in properly?

Has a house fuse blown, a circuit

breaker tripped, or a power outage occurred?

Is the temperature in the tub too high?

Is the water level in the washer high?

Is the washing machine overloaded?

Are other options added to the wash cycle?

Has the incorrect detergent been used?

Did you clean the tub periodically?

Plumbing in the home moves or flexes

when the water valves in the washer shut off.

Household water supply pressure is

very high.

Remove the load immediately after it

finishes. Do not overload the tub.

Hot water rinse can cause garments

to wrinkle. Check the inlet hose connections. Make sure that the plug is secured in a

grounded 3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz) outlet. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the

fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. The washing machine has a safety lock

built into the door to prevent burning. Leave the door closed and wait until the door lock icon disappears from the display. Allow the washer to complete the

programmed cycle, or press the SPIN button.

This is normal. The washing machine

automatically adjusts the cycle time for the amount of laundry, water pressure, water temperature, and other operating conditions. Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

recommended for a front-loading washing machine. See page 30, clean the inside and

outside of the washing machine periodically. Water hammer is not caused by a

defect in the washer. Install water hammer arrestors (purchased separately at hardware or home improvement store) between the fill hose and the washer for best results. Adjust household water supply

regulator to a lower pressure or contact a plumber to have a regulator installed.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions

Strange odors coming from washer

Heater in dryer.

First time using washer

Buildup of dirt on gasket or drum,

dirty or clogged drain pump filter, kinked or clogged drain hose

During the initial phase of operation,

lint from laundry can settle on the heater and cause odors. This is normal and will not affect performance. Smell comes from the rubber

attached to the washer door. It will eventually dissipate after first couple of wash cycles. Periodically clean the gasket. Mold

and foreign substances inside the gasket may produce mildew or musty smells. Clean the drain pump filter regularly.

Foreign substances on the drain pump filter may produce mildew or musty smells. If the drain hose is not installed

properly, the odor may be emitted because of a backflow of drainage into the tub. Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked or clogged.
