NOTE•
- Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.•
- Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or kinked by other objects.
- Water supply pressure must be between 20 psiand 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 120–135 °F (48–57 °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 1 in place in both ends of each hose to
prevent leaking.
2. Connect the water supply hoses.•
- Connect the water inlet hoses to the hot and cold water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.•
- Connect the blue hose to the cold water faucet and the red hose to the hot water faucet.
3. Flush out the inlet hoses.•
After the hoses are connected, turn on the water faucets and flush out any
foreign substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.
Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature to make
sure you’ve connected the hoses to the correct faucets
4. Attach the inlet hoses to the back of the washer.•
Attach the hot water inlet hose to the hot water inlet on the back of the
washer.Attach the cold water inlet hose to the cold water inlet on the back of

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.
– 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.
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.
Small Items
- Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before Calling for Service
The washer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and
diagnose problems at an earty 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, press the Options button, turn the knob to select Control Lock, and press the ~“(OK) button. Select Off and press the (OK) button.
Q: Where should I pour powdered laundry products when doing my laundry?****
– A: If you are using powdered laundry detergent, load it in the manual detergent dispenser after removing the liquid detergent insert (where applicable). 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.
Q: When should I change the default ezDispense amounts?****
– A: If you simply want to use a bit more or less detergent for a single load, press the Options button and select Detergent Level or Softener Level to adjust the level for that load. If you are using a highly concentrated detergent or would just like to use more or less detergent or softener for every load, see the instructions in the Defautt Det. Dispense or Defautt Soft. Dispense under Additional Settings.
Q: How do I calculate the correct default amount for my detergent?****
– A: Use the information on the detergent packaging. Divide the total number of fluid ounces in the container by the estimated number of loads for a medium or normal wash load. For example, if the bottle contains 100 fl. oz. and the package states that it washes 64 medium loads then 100/64 = 1.6 fl 0z per load. If you generally use about half the manufacturer’s recommended amount, set the default to 0.8 fl oz. Do not set the ezDispense default for more than the maximum recommended amount {for full loads). For additional assistance calculating, use the LG ThinQ app.
Q: How do Luse a special detergent for sportswear or hand washables?****
– A: Turn off the ezDispense function and use the manual dispenser.
Q: Can use powdered detergent in the ezDispense reservoirs?****
– A: Use the manual dispenser for powdered detergents. Do not put powders in the ezDispense reservoirs.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANYWAY 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 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 e’AAAI and will be
conducted before a single arbitrator under the AM’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 AM
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 AM
in the manner described in the AM 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
arbitrators award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for
the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and en
forceability 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 MA
Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all MA filing,
administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance
with the AM 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 MA 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 AM 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 MA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a
hearing will be determined by the MA 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 purchasers 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.Ig.com/us/support/repair-
service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on °Find My Model & Serial
Numbers).
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.

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 arbitrators 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 825,000 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 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 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

applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be

you and LG agree to attom 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.

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

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.

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.
