Don't waste good money!

Washing a small load may be okay but, medium to large loads frequently become imbalanced with super limited water input...worst machine I've ever purchased. Try at your own risk! THE LG I HAD BEFORE WAS MUCH BETTER!

Hi there — thank you for sharing your experience with the WT8400CW. We want your washer to deliver smooth, balanced cycles every time. For medium to large loads, try using the “Deep Fill” option to increase water levels and help reduce imbalance. Also, be sure to load items evenly around the tub and avoid mixing heavy and light fabrics.

DONT HAVE SOAK OPTION

there is not a soak cycle. if you try to open or stop the washer , it will drain the water, older washers have this feature. I can believe LG did not that about that.

Hi there, Helen! We appreciate you letting us know about your LG washer experience. This LG washer does have a soak option within a cycle, which would be for heavy-duty. You can find this information on the LG washer manual: "When washing large loads, there will be brief periods of 2 minutes or more without agitation. These soak periods are part of the cycle’s design." Just click here for more info: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-WT8400CW.AEWETUS. Let us know if you have any other questions on social media as a DM @LGUSSupport. We're always here to help! ~Kimmy

Poor documentation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The washer seems to wash well but I have several concerns. The instructions do not tell me enough to know how to fully use the machine and the features they brag to have. I am playing with the controls to reduce the wrinkling that is happening to the clothes. We hang dry some clothes to avoid shrinkage but the amount of wrinkling going on with the clothes is tremendous and have to toy with the features to figure out how to handle this. I have no clue how to use the additional programmed washes that are in the app nor how to start the washing machine from the app or how to set a default program. Very poor documentation. the manufacturer description is great if one knew how to use it.

Few quirks but overall happy

After 20 years my old reliable broke and I was forced to make a choice on a new machine. I was really impressed by the look and features of this washer and it was on a deep discount so I was sold. It’s been a month now. It is great for larger loads and I feel like everything comes out super clean. It is not so great for very small loads. The detergent tray always has excess product/water when I am preparing to start the next cycle so that’s a little annoying but not a big deal. Overall happy with this machine and hope it lasts a long time.

Horrible washer

Horrible. This machine is so loud. If you work from home and want to put on a load it is so loud you can't even concentrate. Don't think about starting a load before bed. It is poorly designed. We had three replacements and all of them sound the same. The design is flawed. It's unfortunate for a new device. They focused on the tech at the expense of the a quiet machine.

Wifi connected, AI wash, Quiet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago or so. Its very well made. I just use AI wash pretty much every time. Very quiet and I just need to drop the liquid detergent and forget about it as it automatically dispenses the liquid. It also looks great in the home :) matt black.

Really came through with bulky items!!

I bought this because my Maytag was failing after 13 + years… I was concerned about the inner drum and leveler when it came to washing bulky items.. I was pleasantly surprised it worked like a champ and didn’t signal uneven load like my old Maytag! So I am pleased with its cleaning capabilities!

Hi, there. Thanks for sharing your experience with the LG Washer (WT8400CW) model. It’s great to hear how confidently it handled those bulky loads — that upgraded drum design and leveling system are built to keep cycles steady, and it’s wonderful knowing it performed exactly the way you hoped. Glad the cleaning results are hitting the mark for you. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-WT8400CW.AEWETUS.

Many Options But Limited

I just purchased this washer and am very disappointed on how it works. My previous washer (which I will be fixing and re-using) is 20 years old and I have the ability to adjust the water level. I understand that the new washers have this done by the computer but there is a problem with the water level. If I select a normal wash, I am not able to remove the turbo wash option. The machine uses very little water and most of the clothing isn't even submerged in water. If you select the deep fill option it does work but it uses way too much water. I also used the bedding cycle and that uses way too much water for bedding sheets. It should be called a comforter setting instead. I also had some steam end up on my floor after a few cycles. Not exactly sure if this is normal or not. Furthermore there is also a little pool of water on the impeller after the end of the cycle dripping from the laundry detergent. While the impeller is plastic it shouldn't be there IMO. LG please give users the ability to select their OWN water level if the stupid computer can't figure it out.

Hi Niko. Your LG washer is designed to save money by being energy and water efficient. So, no need to worry about your clothes not being covered with water. The Built-in intelligence takes out the guesswork—AI technology selects optimal wash settings for you. If you see water dripping from the dispenser, ensure the trays are placed properly. Check these tips here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-water-left-in-dispenser--1337625067361. If this persists after these troubleshooting steps, private message us on social media @LGUSSupport with your contact details . We'll be happy to continue finding a solution. ^David

Can't read the dim control panel, washes well thou

Same comments as the drier that we bought with this washer. Good performance, terrible control panel, simply CAN'T READ THE ENTIRE PANEL IT'S JUST TOO DIM. Washer seems to work well but we have added lighting, removed lighting, no results it's just too dim. We are now having lables printed to stick on the DIM LETTERS on the non functional panel.
