Best Front load washer

I’ve only had this about a month but I absolutely love this washer! My previous washer was a LG top load, was sad when it gave up the ghost! Before that one I had a front load by whirlpool & swore I would never have another front load (it was not a good machine) but LG has hit this one right out of the park!! It’s quick and larger so less time in the laundry room!!

Great Washer

Did a lot of research and price comparisons before purchasing. Wanted something with a larger capacity and ran across this washer. Read many reviews and decided this was the one. Has taken some time to figure all the features out, but making progress! The LG Thin Q app is a great added feature and is helpful with reminders. Our only issue is cosmetic, but the markings on the touch buttoned for power and start/pause have already worn away in 8 months?!?

Love

I love this washer. I have had it for 2 1/2 years now and no issues at all. It is a larger capacity to fit bigger comforters which is why i bought it. I would definitely recommend.

reply from LG CareQ

Thank you for sharing your experience with your WM8900HBA and for taking the time to go through the usage guidelines. We understand how some of these recommendations can feel restrictive, especially when you’re just getting started and trying to manage everyday laundry needs for the family. We hear your concerns regarding fabric softener use, washing items like bath mats, and the added step of drying the machine after use. These guidelines are intended to help maintain optimal performance and protect the washer over time, but we understand they may not always feel convenient in day-to-day use. For items like bath mats, we generally recommend checking the care label and washing only machine-washable mats without rubber backing or using a delicate cycle if appropriate. If you’d like, our team can help guide you on the best settings for these types of loads. Our LG CareQ team is here to help at 1-888-542-2623, or you can reach us via live chat or email at https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/contact-us . Thank you again for your feedback—we truly appreciate the opportunity to support you as you get familiar with your new washer.

Failed rotary knob controller

I bought Model WM4200HBA washer S/N012KWAT3J752 a few years ago, and it has one big problem: The rotary knob no longer sequences, it takes lots of spinning to get the lighted indicator to follow along. This seems to be a common problem needing the rotary knob controller replaced. Did LG fix this manufacturing defect, as my research shows other owners have the same problem.

Liked my other LG better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cleans well but if you just brush up against the front of the washer it turns on or off. My cupboards are far back and I have to reach. Just touching this machine it turns it on or off. Too touchy.

LG Mega Capacity Smart Front Load Washer and Dryer

The symbols on the display panel buttons completely faded in 3 months. Since this is cosmetic is is not covered under warranty. There were several occasions where water has leaked out from the door of the washer and ruined my hardwood flooring. If you put the dryer temperature on high, the inside metal grate burns leaving a permanent dark burn spot on the grate. The dryer senses clothes are dried, but still damp. .

Hello, Pamela. We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG WM8980HVA Washer‑dryer combo. We want you to feel supported with both performance and next‑step options, and your feedback helps us see what’s been happening on your end. For the leaking you mentioned, confirming that the door gasket is clean, ensuring no clothing is caught between the seal, and checking that the unit is level can help prevent moisture from escaping while a technician evaluates the door components. For drying performance, selecting a higher dryness level, avoiding mixed‑fabric loads, and cleaning the lint filter before each cycle can help the sensor read moisture more accurately. You can review guidance on leak prevention here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-why-is-my-front-load-washing-machine-leaking--1431986512448 and drying performance here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-dryer-combo-troubleshooting-poor-drying-performance--20153781923566 If you’d like us to review your case details or assist with next steps, feel free to reach out to lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ^James
