Choosing the Proper
Location
Install the washer on a solid oor that is strong and
rigid enough to support the weight of the washer,
even when fully loaded, without exing or bouncing. If the oor has too much ex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the oor is not
solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.
NOTE
Before installing the washer, make sure the oor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet
that can move or slide on the oor can contribute to
excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with
the oor.
Allow for sufcient space between the walls and the washer for installation.
Power Outlet
• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTE
The washer must be installed on rm ooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete
ooring is best, but a wood oor is sufcient,
provided it is built to FHA standards.

Leveling the Washer
The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,
the oor must be a level, solid surface.
NOTE
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.
• Before installing the washer, make sure that the
oor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and
oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet
that move or slide on the oor can contribute to
excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact
with the oor.
Position the washer in its nal location.
1
Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter’s level, you can use it to check that the washer level. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all four leveling feet must rest
rmly on the oor.
Level
NOTE
• To check if the washer is level from side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid (door).
• To check if the washer is level from front to back, place a level at the side of the washer on the edge where the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top of the lid (door). Using these surfaces will result in the washer being unlevel.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
• Do not wash/spin waterproof items. Washing raincoats or sleeping bags may result in abnormal vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the tub, and brassiere hooks can damage other items or the tub.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.
The washer will not ll or operate with the lid (door) open.
• Use the Bedding cycle for large or bulky items such
as poly-lled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These
items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal results.

Operation
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
• Check hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks and splits.
• Check and tighten hose connections.
• The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up out of the drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the drain. Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe.
• Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out during drain. For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the
pipe as far as the drain hose ange. For larger
drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe 1-2
inches past the ange.
• Use the Bedding cycle for large or bulky items. Use extra care and never wash more that half a
load of items that oat, such as pillows.
• Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the load does not crest above the top edge of the tub.
• Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent
used. High-Efciency detergent is the only
detergent recommended. 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 the water is very soft. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
Check all ll and drain hose connections to ensure that they are tight and secure.
HE detergents are formulated specically for
High-Efciency washers and contain suds-
reducing agents. Only use detergent with the
High-Efciency (HE) logo.
• For detergent quantities refer to the Detergent Use section. If sudsing or detergent residue continue to be an issue, add an extra rinse.
• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60 Hz outlet.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a
circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualied
electrician.

Extremely low water pressure.
Washer is too cold.
• This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time automatically to provide optimal results for the selected cycle. The time remaining shown in the display is only an estimate. Actual time may vary.
• Make sure that detergent and additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments. For all detergent types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is fully closed before the start of the cycle.
• Make sure that the suggested amount of detergent is used per the manufacturer’s recommendations. You may also dilute the
detergent with water to the maximum ll line on
the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE (High-Efciency) detergent. NOTE: Always use as little detergent as
possible. High-Efciency washers need very little
detergent to achieve optimum results. Using too much detergent will cause poor wash and rinse performance and may contribute to odors in washer.
• Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way.
• It is normal for a small amount of detergent to remain in the dispenser. If this residue builds up it can interfere with normal dispensing of products. Refer to the cleaning instructions.
• This is normal. Press the Power button to turn the washer on.
• Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.
• Make sure the cycle was set correctly, close the lid (door) and press the Start/Pause button.
• The washer will not operate if the lid (door) is open. Close the lid (door) and make sure that nothing is caught under the lid (door) preventing it from closing completely.
• Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or reset breaker. The washer should be on a dedicated branch circuit. The washer will resume the cycle where it stopped once power is restored.
• Press the Power button, then re-select the desired cycle and press the Start/Pause button.
• Press the Power button then re-select the desired cycle and press the Start/Pause button. The washer will shut off if the Start/Pause button is not pressed within 60 minutes.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is adequate.
• If the washer has been exposed to temperatures below freezing for an extended period of time, allow it to warm up before pressing the Power button. Otherwise, the display will not come on.

• The automatic attempt to rebalance the load was not successful. The cycle has been paused to allow the load to be manually adjusted.
• Small loads may need additional items to be added to allow the washer to balance the load.
• The load may have heavy items loaded with lighter items. Always try to wash articles of somewhat similar weight to allow the washer to evenly distribute the weight of the load for spinning.
• Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled preventing the automatic rebalancing from working properly.
• Make sure that the water faucets are fully open.
• Make sure that the hoses are not kinked or pinched. Be careful when moving the washer.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is adequate and
ow is not restricted. Disconnect the inlet hose
from the washer and run a few gallons of water
through the hose to ush the water supply lines. If ow is too low, contact a plumber to have the
water lines repaired.
• Hoses designed to limit leaks can trip falsely and
prevent the washer from lling. The use of leak
limiting hoses is not recommended.
• Make sure the drain hose is free of clogs or kinks and is not pinched behind or under the washer.
• Move the end of the drain hose so it’s lower than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the washer.
• Turn off Control Lock in the control panel. See Control Lock under Option Buttons.
• If the washer is paused during a cycle for more than 4 minutes, the cycle will be cancelled and any water remaining in the tub will be drained.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Denitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents,
subsidiaries and afliates, and each of their ofcers, directors, employees, agents, beneciaries, predecessors
in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must rst notify LG in
writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs 07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party
may proceed to le a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or
claim. More specically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any
circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
35LIMITED WARRANTY
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration
1000 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conict between the AAA Rules and the rules
set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Co󰀬s. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for
arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration ling fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise
provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA ling, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in
accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If
the arbitrator nds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for
an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted
solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by
an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing
will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar
days from the date of the rst consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to
optout@lge.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair­continued and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial Number”).
You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will
continue to enjoy the full benets of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you
accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, YOU AND LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Denitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its parents,
subsidiaries and afliates, and each of their ofcers, directors, employees, agents, beneciaries, predecessors
in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must rst notify LG in
writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days,
either party may proceed to le a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause in the circumstances of the claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree to the arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving
any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specically, without limitation of the foregoing, except
to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to the claims at issue between you and LG.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written
demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be private and condential, and conducted on a simplied and
expedited basis before a single arbitrator chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your residence. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable provincial or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the province or territory of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.
39LIMITED WARRANTY
Fees/Co󰀬s. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for
arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration ling fees unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in
which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise
provided for herein, LG will pay all ling, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in
accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent
that a court would. If the arbitrator nds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand
is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted
solely (1) on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an
in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to
a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another location or agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Severability and Waiver. If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures) is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not mean that LG intends to waive or has waived any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar
