Choosing the Proper Location
Check the following requirements for the install location before installing the washer.
· Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washer for installation.
· Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise.
· If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.
· If a drain pan must be used, take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drain pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drain pans and failure to properly level the washer may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.
Power Outlet
· The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
· Position the washer so that the outlet and plug are easily accessible.

· The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
· Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

Flooring
· To minimize noise and vibration, install the washer on a level, solidly constructed floor capable of supporting the washer without flexing or bouncing.
· The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.
· The floor under the washer must not slope more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to side.
· Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.
· Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Floor Installation To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage. Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses.

· Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138 – 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
· Your hot water heater should be set to deliver water at 120­135 °F (48­57 °C) to allow the washer to properly control wash temperatures.
· Do not store or install the washer in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to operation.
· Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto shut off devices. The devices can be tripped during fill and prevent the washer from filling properly.
How to Connect the Water Inlet Hoses
1 Check the fittings and seals. Inspect the
threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal a in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking.
2 Connect the water supply hoses.

7 End of cycle.
· When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
· Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.
NOTE · The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the
clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle. · If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the
Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Add Item function will not be available (on applicable models). To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select Rinse+Spin.

Loading the Washer
General Tips
· Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, and other items can damage clothing and the washer.
· Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.
· Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
· 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.
· For best performance, load clothes as shown.

CAUTION · Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-
resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.
Bulky Items
· Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.

– Do not press down on items while stacking them in the drum.
– Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.
· Combine large and small items in the drum. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of the total load.
· The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer must close easily.
· The washer will not fill or operate with the door open.

Small Items
· Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-ofbalance load.
· Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can snag on other clothing or the drum.

30 TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before Calling for Service
The washer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service.
FAQs
Q: Why does my washer make loud banging noises while it is filling with water?
A: This is actually a problem with the plumbing in your home. When the water valve in the washer shuts off, it can cause pipes in your home to move, resulting in a loud banging noise. This effect, called water hammer, can be reduced by installing an item called a water hammer arrestor. Add-on arrestors can be purchased through your local hardware or home improvement store.
Q: Why is there so little water in my washer? How can it clean the clothes?
A: HE (High-Efficiency) washers are designed to properly wash your laundry while using a minimum amount of water and energy. Because the water volume is low, the small amount of detergent used is more concentrated in the water, resulting in excellent cleaning performance.
Q: When I press a button, why does my washer beep and then nothing happens?
A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn it off, turn on the washer, then press and hold the button that has Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.
Q: Where should I pour powdered laundry products when doing my laundry?
A: If you are using powdered laundry detergent, load it in the main detergent dispenser after removing the liquid detergent insert. Powdered laundry agents or powdered color safe bleach should be put directly into the drum. These products can be put in the empty drum before loading or on top of the laundry after loading the washer.

TROUBLESHOOTING 33

Problem
Banging noise when the washer is filling with water. (Water hammer)

Possible Cause & Solution
Plumbing in the home moves or flexes when the water valves in the washer shut off. · 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.
Household water supply pressure is very high. · Adjust household water supply regulator to a lower pressure or contact a plumber.

ENGLISH

Operation

Problem Water Leaking
Excessive sudsing Washer will not turn on. Wash cycle time is longer than usual.

Possible Cause & Solution
Hoses are not connected correctly.
· Check hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks, and splits. · Check and tighten hose connections.
House drain pipes are clogged.
· 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.
Drain hose has come out of the drain connector or is not inserted far enough.
· 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 flange.
For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe 1 – 2 inches past the flange.
Oversudsing of detergent
· Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent used. HE (High-Efficiency) 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.
Too much detergent or incorrect detergent
· HE detergents are formulated specifically for HE (High-Efficiency) washers and contain suds reducing agents. Only use detergent with the HE (High- Efficiency) logo.
· For detergent quantities refer to Detergent Use in OPERATION. If sudsing or detergent residue continues to be an issue, add an extra rinse.
Power cord is not properly plugged in.
· Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60 Hz outlet.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.
· Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the amount of laundry, water pressure and other operating conditions.
· 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.

34 TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Incomplete or no dispensing of detergent
Washer will not operate.

Possible Cause & Solution
Detergent compartments clogged from incorrect filling. · 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.
Too much detergent used. · Make sure that the suggested amount of detergent is used according to the
manufacturer’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.
NOTE
· Always use as little detergent as possible. HE (High-Efficiency) 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 the washer.
Insufficient water supply · Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way.
Normal residue · 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 detergents. Refer to the cleaning instructions.
Control panel has powered off due to inactivity. · This is normal. Press the Power button to turn on the washer.
Washer is unplugged. · Make sure that the power cord is plugged securely into an electrical outlet.
Water supply is turned off. · Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
Controls are not set properly. · Make sure that the cycle was set correctly, close the door and press the Start/Pause
button to start the wash cycle.
Door is open. · Close the door and make sure that nothing is caught under the door preventing it from
closing completely.
Circuit breaker/fuse is tripped/blown. · Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or reset breaker. The washer should be
on a dedicated branch circuit.
Start/Pause button was not pressed after the cycle was set. · Press the Power button then reselect the desired cycle and press the Start/Pause button.
If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer will be turned off. (The time varies by model, from 4 to 60 minutes.).
Extremely low water pressure. · Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is
adequate.
Washer is too cold. · 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING 35

Problem Washer stops for a few minutes and then restarts. Washer is not filling properly.
Water in the washer does not drain or drains slowly.
Bleach does not dispense.
Premature dispensing of bleach

Possible Cause & Solution
A motor protection device has been activated to prevent overheating of the motor. · This is normal. If the motor protection device is activated, the washer will stop for a few
minutes and then start again.
Filter is clogged. · Make sure that inlet filters on the fill valves are not clogged. Refer to Cleaning the Water
Inlet Filters in MAINTENANCE.
Inlet hoses may be kinked. · Check that inlet hoses are not kinked or clogged.
Energy efficiency · This is a High-Efficiency (HE) washer. As a result, the water level settings for this washer
may be different than for a conventional washer.
Insufficient water supply · Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way.
Washer door is open. · Close the door and make sure that nothing is caught under the door preventing it from
closing completely.
Water level is too low. · The water will not normally cover the clothes. The fill level is optimized for the wash
motion to achieve the best wash performance.
Drain hose is kinked, pinched, or clogged. · Make sure that the drain hose is free of clogs or kinks and is not pinched behind or under
the washer.
The end of the drain hose is more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the washer. · Move the end of the drain hose so that it is lower than 96 inches (2.4 m). For best
performance, the end of the drain hose should be no higher than 66 inches (168 cm).
Bleach dispenser cover is not properly installed (on some models). · Make sure that the bleach cover is properly installed and snapped into place before the
beginning of the cycle.
Bleach dispenser is dirty or clogged. · Lift out the bleach dispenser cover and clean out the reservoir. Lint and other foreign
debris that have collected inside the dispenser may prevent proper dispensing of the bleach.
Bleach dispenser filled for future load. · You cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future use. The bleach will be dispensed every
load.
Overfilling the bleach dispenser · Overfilling the bleach dispenser will cause the bleach to dispense immediately, which will
damage the laundry or the washer. Always measure bleach, but never fill above the max line on the dispenser. A half cup of bleach is sufficient for most loads. Never use more than 1 cup of bleach.

Performance
Problem Wrinkling

Possible Cause & Solution Washer is not unloaded promptly. · Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete.

36 TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Wrinkling Staining
Poor stain removal
Musty or mildewy odor in the washer

Possible Cause & Solution
Washer is overloaded. · The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The
door of the washer should close easily.
Hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed. · Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the Inlet hose connectors.
Bleach or softener dispensed too soon. · Dispenser compartment was overfilled or closed too quickly, causing the bleach or
softener to dispense immediately. Always measure bleach, and never use more than 1 cup.
Bleach or softener was added directly to the wash load in the drum. · Always use the dispensers to ensure that laundry products are properly dispensed at the
right time in the cycle.
Washer was not unloaded promptly. · Always remove items from the washer as soon as possible after the cycle is completed.
Clothes were not properly sorted. · Always wash dark colors separately from light colors and whites to prevent discoloration. · Never wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled items.
Proper options are not selected. · Heavier soils and tougher stains may require extra cleaning power. Select the Heavy Soil
feature to boost the cleaning power of the selected cycle.
Previously set stains. · Articles that have previously been washed may have stains that have been set. These
stains may be difficult to remove and may require hand washing or pre-treating to aid in stain removal.
Incorrect or too much detergent has been used. · Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Inside of the drum was not cleaned properly. · Run the Tub Clean cycle regularly.

Odor
Problem Odor

Possible Cause & Solution
Some odor is caused by the rubber attached to the washing machine. · This odor is normal for new rubber and will disappear after the machine has been run a
few times.
If the rubber door gasket and door seal area are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur from mold or foreign substances. · Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly and check under the door seal for small
items when unloading the washer.
Odors can occur if foreign substances are left in the drainage pump filter. · Be sure to clean the drainage pump filter regularly.
Odors can occur if the drainage hose is not properly installed, causing siphoning (water flowing back inside the washing machine). · When installing the drainage hose, be sure that it doesn’t become kinked or blocked.

Wi-Fi

Problem
Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi-Fi network

Possible Cause & Solution
The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly.
· Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the connection process again.
Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.
· Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before connecting the appliance.
The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.
· The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and numbers. (Do not use special characters.)
The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.
· Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the wireless router to 2.4 GHz and connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer.
The appliance and the router are too far apart.
· If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal may be weak and the connection may not be configured correctly. Move the router closer to the appliance or purchase and install a Wi-Fi repeater.
During Wi-Fi setup, the app is requesting a password to connect to the product (on certain phones).
· Locate the network name which starts with “LG” under Settings > Networks. Note the last part of the network name. – If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XX-XX-XX, enter lge12345. – If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XXXX, enter XXXX twice as your password. For example, if the network name appears as LGE_Appliance_8b92, then you would enter 8b928b92 as your password. In this instance, the password is case sensitive and the last 4 characters are unique to your appliance.

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. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, 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 first 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 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The

en-us_main.book.book Page 40 Friday, November 18, 2022 8:27 AM
40 LIMITED WARRANTY
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 file 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 specifically, 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.
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 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict 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/Costs. 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 filing 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 filing, 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 finds 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 first 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 1800-980-2973. 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://

44 LIMITED WARRANTY
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.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, 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 first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LGECI Legal Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the “Notice of Dispute”). 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 of LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out herein. You and LG both agree that, during the arbitration proceeding, the terms (including any amount) of any settlement offer made by either you or LG will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until the arbitrator determines the dispute.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, 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 specifically, 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 confidential, and conducted on a simplified 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 purchase 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 purchase for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.
Fees/Costs. 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 filing 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 filing, 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

LIMITED WARRANTY 45
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 finds 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 inperson 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 days from the date of the first 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 1800-980-2973. 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/ca_en/support/repair- service/schedule- repair and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial Number”).
In the event that you “Opt Out”, 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 agree to 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.
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 benefits 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.
Conflict of Terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Limited Warranty and the End User License Agreement (“EULA”) in regards to dispute resolution, the terms of this Limited Warranty shall control and govern the rights and obligations of the parties and shall take precedence over the EULA.
