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.
  • 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.
  • It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the washer owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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.

CAUTION

  • Failure to remove shipping materials can cause excessive noise and vibration.

Unpacking Shipping Material
*Some models do not ship with drum support.
Lift the washer off the foam base.

  • After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the washer off the foam base.
  • Make sure the plastic drum support a* comes off with the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the washer.
  • If you must lay the washer down to remove the carton base b, always protect the side of the washer and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay the washer on its front or back.

Removing Shipping Material

  1. Remove the bolt assemblies.
    • Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts c , use the included wrench to fully loosen all 4 shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise.
    • Remove the bolt assemblies (bolts and retainers) by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out.
    NOTE
    • All 4 bolt assemblies must be completely removed from the unit to avoid product damage.
    •  Make sure to remove the entire bolt assembly, including:
    – metal bolt and washer
    – rubber damper
    – plastic rod

  2. Install the hole caps.
    • Locate the hole caps d included in the accessory pack or attached to the back of the washer. Install the caps in the holes left by the bolt assemblies.

CAUTION

  • Once removed, save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, do not transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping bolts. Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise,  which can lead to permanent damage to the washer.

NOTE

  • The power cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.

Connecting the Water Inlet Hoses
To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase and install new water inlet hoses when installing the washer.

WARNING

  • Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in leaking and property damage.
  • Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage.
    Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses.

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 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 120–135 °F (48–57 °C) to allow the washer to properly control wash temperatures.
  • If your water supply contains a lot of debris, a whole home water filter may help to remove the debris from the water before it reaches the washer inlets.
  • 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.
    • 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.
    Foreign substances can damage washer inlets and lead to leakage.
    • 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 the washer.
    • Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both faucets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses.

Connecting the Drain Hose
Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub.

WARNING

  • The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage.

NOTE

  • The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
  • Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
  • The end of the drain hose should be located a minimum of 24″ (61 cm) and a maximum of 96″ (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer.
  • For best results, locate the end of the drain hose no higher than 66″ (168 cm) above the bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66″ (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected.
  • Never create an airtight seal between the hose and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.

Using a Standpipe to Drain

  1. Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.
    • Connect the elbow bracket a within 4 inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.
    If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

  2. Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe.

  3. Use the provided tie strap b to secure the drain hose in place.

  4. If the water valves and drain are built into the wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the provided tie strap c (ribbed side on inside).

Using the Laundry Tub to Drain

  1. Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.
    • Connect the elbow bracket a within 4 inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.
    If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

  2. Hang the end of the drain hose over the side of the laundry tub.

  3. Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

Leveling the Washer
The drum of the washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface.

CAUTION

  • Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer malfunction.
  • 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.

NOTE

  • Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor 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 floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise.

How to Level the Washer

  1. Position the washer in its final location.
    • Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain hoses. If you have a carpenter’s level 1, you can use it to check that the washer is level. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly on the  floor.

  2. Adjust the leveling feet.
    • Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it.

  3. Check the level again.
    • Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, readjust the leveling feet.

  4. Tighten the locknuts 2
    • Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten them when the washer is level.

Using Non-Skid Pads
If you install the washer on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the nonskid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

  1. Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
    • Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip.

  2. Adjust the level after placing the washer in the installation area.

  3. Place the adhesive side 3 of the non-skid pad on the floor.
    • It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the front leveling feet. If it is hard to place the pads under the front leveling feet, place them under the back leveling feet.
    (1) This side up
    (2) Remove backing

  4. Recheck the washer’s levelness.
    • Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, level the washer again.

Final Installation Check

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with delicates can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint  collector – knit sweater; lint producer – terry cloth towels.)

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.
  • Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause excessive vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor.

Fabric Care Labels
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

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 waterresistant 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-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.

Adding Cleaning Products
About Detergent Use
This washer is designed for use with only HE (HighEfficiency) detergents.

  • HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could  result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage.

  • Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.

  • For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller  loads.

  • Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.

  • Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
    Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer.

  • Do not use more than one single-use detergent pack in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra  rinse, select the Extra Rinse option.

  1. Maximum fill line
  2. Average load fill line
  3. Liquid detergent
  4. Powdered detergent

Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or Tablet Detergents
Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the drum before loading laundry. Do not place these detergents in the dispenser.

Using the ezDispense Function
When the ezDispense function is turned on, the liquid detergent and softener are dispensed in the set amounts, at the appropriate time during the cycle.

  • A full detergent reservoir will last for about 18 standard cycles, with the drum filled about halfway.
  • The default settings are configured to dispense 1.5 oz (45 ml) of detergent and 1 oz (30 ml) of softener for 8-12 lb (4-6 kg) of normally soiled laundry. This can be changed using the Default Det. Dispense or Default Soft. Dispense setting. For more details,  see “Additional Settings” in the More Options and Settings section.
  1. Slowly slide the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as it will go.
    1.Liquid fabric softener reservoir
    2. Main wash liquid detergent reservoir

  2. Turn the lids on the ezDispense reservoirs to open them.

  3. Pour the detergent and softener into their respective reservoirs, up to the MAX line.
    •The ezDispense drawer has two reservoirs. Put the liquid detergent into the larger reservoir and the fabric softener into the smaller reservoir.
    • Use only liquid HE detergents in the ezDispense detergent reservoir.
    • Do not put liquid or powdered bleach, or powdered, gel or sheet type detergents into the ezDispense reservoirs.
    • Remove any residual detergent on the outside of the ezDispense drawer before inserting it.
    • Do not try to fill the reservoirs too quickly. Add detergent and softener slowly to avoid overflows.

  4. After filling the reservoirs, insert the lids and turn them to the right until they are tightly closed.
    • Securely close the lids to the ezDispense reservoirs to minimize airflow which can harden cleaning products and prevent them from dispensing properly. Be careful not to lose the lids.

  5. Close the dispenser drawer slowly before starting the cycle.
    • Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.
    • Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.
    • It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the manual dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

CAUTION

  • Slide the detergent dispenser drawer out or in slowly and use both hands for safety. Failure to do so can damage the washer or cause the detergent or softener to leak out of the ventilation holes.
  • Detergent or fabric softener left in the ezDispense reservoirs for an extended period may harden and fail to dispense properly.
  • Do not remove the dispenser drawer while the product is in operation.
  • Remove detergent/softener in the ezDispense reservoirs before moving the washer.

Using the Manual Dispense Function
Add detergent and bleach to the manual dispenser.

  1. To turn off the automatic dispensers, press the Options button.

  2. Turn the knob to select Detergent Level or Softener Level and press the 8(OK) button.

  3. Turn the knob to select Off and press the (OK) button.

  4. Open the detergent dispenser drawer.

  5. Load the laundry products into the appropriate manual dispenser compartments.
    • Use the main wash detergent compartment at the front of the manual dispenser for powdered or liquid detergent or oxygenbased bleach.
    Do not use it for liquid chlorine bleach.
    • Do not place detergent sheets in the manual dispenser.
    • Place liquid chlorine bleach ONLY in the compartment at the rear of the manual dispenser.
    • If using single-use detergent packs, place the pack in the drum before loading the laundry. Do not place liquid or powdered detergent packs in the dispenser.
    1. Liquid chlorine bleach compartment
    2. Manual main wash detergent compartmen

  6. Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowlybefore starting the cycle.
    • Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or pouring into the tub earlier than programmed.

CAUTION

  • Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer. These products can damage the washer’s finish and controls.

NOTE

  • The manual dispenser cannot be used for prewash detergent dispensing.

Manual Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment.

  • The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (HighEfficiency) detergent with your washer.
  • Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the manual main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders
  • If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser.

Liquid Bleach Compartment
This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

WARNING

  • Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death.

NOTE

  • Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only.
    Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.

  • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup, and do not exceed the maximum fill line or the bleach may be dispensed immediately and damage fabrics. Using too much bleach can also damage fabrics.

  • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

  • Do not use color-safe bleach or oxygen bleach in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

Cycle Modifiers
About Modifier Buttons
Each cycle has default settings that are selected automatically. You can also customize these settings using the cycle modifier buttons.

  • Repeatedly press the button for the desired modifier until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.

  • The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency.

  • This is a high-efficiency washer, and the water levels may be much lower than you expect. This is normal, and cleaning/rinsing performance will not be compromised.

  • Temperature indicator lights up and the selected setting is shown in the knob display:
    Tap Cold 1, Cold 2, Warm 3, Hot 4 or Ex. Hot 5

  • Spin indicator lights up and the selected setting is shown in the knob display: No Spin 1, Low 2, Medium 3, High 4 or Ex. High 5

  • Soil indicator lights up and the selected setting is shown in the knob display: Light 1, Med. Light 2, Medium 3, Med. Heavy 4, Heavy 5

NOTE

  • The LED next to the setting lights up when the setting is selected and the setting is shown in the knob display.
  • To protect your garments, not every wash temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle.
  • A chime will sound twice and the LED will not light if the desired setting is not allowed for the selected cycle.
  • Follow the fabric care labels on the garment for best results.

Temp.
Make sure the wash temperature is suitable for the type of load you are washing.

  • Press the Temp. button repeatedly to select the wash and rinse temperature combination for the selected cycle.
  • All rinses use unheated cold water.
  • Cold rinses use less energy. The actual cold rinse temperature depends on the temperature of the cold water at the faucet.
  • Your washer features a heating element to boost the hot water temperature for Ex. Hot settings.
    This provides improved wash performance at normal water heater settings.

Spin
Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy.

  • Press the Spin button repeatedly until the desired speed is selected.
  • Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower spin speed.

Soil
Adjusting the soil level setting will modify the cycle times and/or wash actions.

  • Press the Soil button repeatedly until the desired soil level is selected.
  • The Heavy soil setting may increase cycle times.
    The Light soil setting may decrease cycle times.

Options and Extra Functions
Basic Options
Your washer includes several additional cycle options to customize cycles to meet your individual needs.

  • Select the desired option after selecting the desired cycle and cycle modifiers.

NOTE

  • The LED for the option will light when the option is selected.
  • To protect your garments, not every option is available with every cycle.
  • A chime will sound twice and the LED will not light if the selected option is not allowed for the selected cycle.

Steam
Adding this option to a wash cycle helps provide superior cleaning performance. Using steam gives fabrics the cleaning benefits of a very hot wash.

  • Steam may not be clearly visible during steam cycles. This is normal. Too much steam could damage clothing.
  • Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool and silk, or easily discolored fabrics.

WARNING

  • Do not touch the door during steam cycles. The door surface can become very hot and can cause severe burns. Allow the door lock to release before opening the door.
  • Do not attempt to override the door lock mechanism or reach into the washer during a steam cycle. Steam can cause severe burns.

Extra Rinse
This option adds an extra rinse to the selected cycle. Use this option to help ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from fabrics.

  • Press the Extra Rinse button to add from 1 to 3 additional rinses to the cycle.

Delay Start
Once you have selected the cycle and other settings, press the Delay Start button to delay the start of the wash cycle.

  • Turn the knob to increase the delay time in 30minute increments, from 1 hour up to 19 hours.
  • Once the desired delay time is set, press the Start/Pause button to start the delay time.

NOTE

  • If the Start/Pause button is not pressed to begin the delay time, the washer automatically turns off after a certain time and all cycle settings are lost.

Fresh Care
Use this function when you will not be able to unload your clothes immediately after the wash cycle ends.

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, press the Options button, turn the knob to select Control Lock, and press the 8(OK) button. Select Off and press the 8(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 colorsafe 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 Default Det. Dispense or Default 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 oz 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 I use a special detergent for sportswear or hand washables?

A: Turn off the ezDispense function and use the manual dispenser.

Q: Can I use powdered detergent in the ezDispense reservoirs?

A: Use the manual dispenser for powdered detergents. Do not put powders in the ezDispense reservoirs.

Water being added after the washer has already begun to operate| The washer adapts to the load size and type to add more water to the cycle as needed.
• Normal operation
The wash load may be unbalanced. If the washer senses that the load is unbalanced, it will stop and refill to redistribute the load.
• Normal operation
The washer may be diluting laundry additives to add to the wash load.
• Normal operation
Rattling and clanking noise| Foreign objects, such as keys, coins, or safety pins may be in the drum or pump.
• Stop the washer, check the drum and the drain filter for foreign objects.
• If the noise continues after the washer is restarted, call for service.
Thumping sound| Heavy wash loads may produce a thumping sound.
• This is normal, but if the sound continues, the washer is probably out of balance. Stop and redistribute wash load.
Wash load may be out of balance.
• Pause the cycle and redistribute the load after the door unlocks.
Vibrating noise| Packaging materials were not removed.
• See Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material in INSTALLATION.
Wash load may be unevenly distributed in the drum.
• Pause the cycle and redistribute the load after the door unlocks.
Not all leveling feet are resting firmly and evenly on the floor.
• See Leveling the Washer in INSTALLATION.
Floor is not rigid enough.
• Make sure that the floor is solid and does not flex. See Flooring in INSTALLATION.
Squeaking noise| Packaging materials were not removed.
• See Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material in INSTALLATION.
Banging noise when the washer is filling with water. (Water  hammer)| 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.

Operation

Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Water Leaking 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.
Excessive sudsing| Too much detergent or incorrect detergent
• If using the ezDispense function, change the dispense amount. See the ezDispense section for more information.
• HE detergents are formulated specifically for HE (High-Efficiency) washers and contain suds reducing agents. Only use  detergent with the HE (High- Efficiency) logo.
• Do not put detergent in the manual dispenser while the ezDispense function is turned on.
Washer will not turn on.| 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.
Wash cycle time is longer than usual.| 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.
Incomplete or no dispensing of detergent| Detergent compartments clogged from incorrect filling.
• Make sure that detergent and additives are put into the correct ezDispense reservoirs.
• For all detergent types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is fully closed before the start of the cycle.
Problem| Possible Cause & Solution
---|---
Incomplete or no dispensing of detergent| 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.
Washer will not operate.| 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.
Washer stops for a few minutes and then restarts.| 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.
Washer is not filling properly.| Filter is clogged.
• Make sure that inlet filters on the fill valves are not clogged. Refer to Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters in MAINTENANCE.
Washer is not filling properly.| 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.
Water in the washer does not  drain or drains slowly.| 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 does not dispense.| 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.
Premature dispensing of 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 Possible Cause & Solution
Wrinkling Washer is not unloaded promptly.

• Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete.
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.
Staining| 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.
Poor stain removal| Proper options are not selected.
• Heavier soils and tougher stains may require extra cleaning power. Select the Heavy 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.
Musty or mildewy odor in the washer| 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 Possible Cause & Solution
Odor 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.
Using the dry function, odors can occur from lint and other laundry matter sticking to the heater. (Dryer model only)
• This is not a malfunction.
A particular odor can occur from drying wet clothes with hot air. (Dryer model only)
• The odor will disappear after a short while.

ezDispense

Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Refill Alarm continues to display when detergent/ softener is added.

Detergent/softener has built up on the fluid level sensor.
• Open the reservoir covers and clean the insides of the ezDispense reservoirs with warm water. Use a soft brush to  remove any residue. If the Refill Alarm is displayed continuously, call for service.
The amount of detergent/softener is not enough for the sensor to detect.
• Fill the detergent/softener up to the MAX line in the compartment.
Too much/too little detergent or softener dispensed.| The default dispense amounts setting may need to be changed.
• Check and change the default dispense amounts setting.
The ezDispense doesn’t dispense detergent/softener.| The ezDispense function is off.
• Turn on the ezDispense function.
The ventilation holes are blocked.
• Clean the ventilation holes for the lids on the reservoirs with warm water.
The detergent or softener in the ezDispense reservoirs has hardened.
• Clean the ezDispense reservoirs and change the detergent or softener.

Wi-Fi

Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi-Fi network 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.
LG ThinQ is asking for a password to connect to the product.
• If you are asked to provide a password to connect to the product (not to your home network) during the Wi-Fi setup, enter  the last 4 characters of the network name, repeated twice, with no spaces. For example, if the network name appears  as LG_XXXX_8b92, then you would enter 8b928b92 as your password. 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 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://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair- continued 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 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.

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 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-continued 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.
