Hello, Cecilia. We understand your inquiry and feedback regarding your LG WT8400CW washer filling with water when you want a spin-only cycle. To activate the Spin Only feature without adding water, ensure the unit is powered on, then press and hold the Spin button for approximately three seconds without selecting a wash cycle first. This programs the washer to drain and spin out excess moisture directly. If the unit continues to add water, it may be executing an automatic load-balancing sequence to redistribute uneven laundry. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com if you need further assistance. ^James

Okay Washer

My LG top load washer is an okay washer! So far, it is quiet and gets the job done. Presently, my only problem with it is at 5'1” tall it is hard to reach into to retrieve the clothing. This is when I wish I still had my front loader.

Great made better with ThinQ

This thing is giant. It really holds a lot. Easier on clothes without the agitator. The ThinQ app is a MUST. It adds so many options, and you can monitor the time from your phone too. I love it all.

White washer/black top?? Why??

Why would someone want a two tone white washer??? The black lid and control panel is terrible! Smudges, shows each spec of lint and just looks cheap. Major fail. The aesthetics of this washer has me sadly considering a different brand.

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your review about your LG Top Load Washer, model WT8400CW. We hear your thoughts regarding the design layout and finish of the control areas, and we always aim to ensure our laundry appliance aesthetics and exterior finishes deliver the premium appearance and clean styling your home expects from our brand. To help keep your dark console and lid surfaces looking pristine and free of visible particles, we recommend wiping down the exterior panels regularly using a slightly damp, soft microfiber cloth without any harsh abrasive cleansers, which helps eliminate surface static that attracts fibers from the air. It is also beneficial to dry the areas completely with a clean cloth immediately after cleaning to prevent water marks or residue from setting onto the dark trim elements. We want to help ensure your laundry setup looks and performs beautifully for your household. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com if you need further support. ^James

Disappointed in cleaning ability!

I am having a difficult time getting laundry clean in my new LG top load washer without agitator! The water does not cover the load and I have to run a rinse and spin to get the soap off! My clothes come out very wrinkled too.

Shredded my towels after 1 wash

This washing machine shredded my towels after 1 wash. I used a download cycle, full load, extra rinse and medium spin. I am not impressed. I had a 20 year old whirlpool and this never happened.
