Hello, Jay. We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG Washer model WT8400CW. We want to ensure your laundry routine runs smoothly and quietly so you can wash your clothes comfortably at any time of day. To help minimize operational sounds, we recommend verifying that the washer is completely level on a solid floor, ensuring that all four leveling feet are firmly in contact with the ground, and checking that the shipping bolts were fully removed during installation.

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

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

Do not buy

This is the worst washer we’ve ever used and we’ve used many washers. The water sensor doesn’t work, you have to stand there and babysit it to make sure that there’s enough water to cover clothing (never is) and you have to get in there during the wash cycle to push the clothes around or you’ll have detergent stains. Clearly, nothing is getting cleaned. You’re better off with a manual washboard and a bucket. The app is a joke. Also, LG won’t let you complete a review if you select one star. You have to select more stars to get to the review screen, and only then can you go back and select one star. I guess if your product is garbage you have to be slimy like that. Never again, LG.

Failed in less than 30 days

Bought washer on 11-March-2026. Failed on 8-April-2026. Call center couldn’t help much and have to get a service tech out. Through the troubleshooting, we discover the LG installer reversed the hot and cold water. Washer just gets stuck on filling the machine even when trying to run a spin only cycle.

Too many reasons to avoid...

I have two major complaints about this washer. #1. The lid. Yes, the lid that opens and closes on the top of the unit. Whomever thought it was a good idea to put this at an angle is a moron. It may look appealing in a show room but its unbelievably impractical in the home. You'll instinctively try and put things on top of your washer and they will stay there just long enough for you to walk away. Then, whatever you put there will topple off. The glass lid is also super easily scratched and appears dirty often - even with frequent cleaning. #2. The features (in general). You cant change the default water temp to cold. You cant disable to auto lock feature that stays on after the wash cycle is complete. And the integration with the app (which you'll want for "delicate", "small load", and other washing options) requires you to enable the washer to start based on the app's directive. Turbo wash (another default) is super effective for washing rugs, for example, but will easily ruin clothes items and will make brand new Bombas socks pill. The positives: the capacity is huge (great for bedding), its affordable, and you can change the dig when the cycle finishes to sound like a Beethoven song....if you ever wish to annoy your spouse a little ;) Would NOT purchase again.

Horrible all around

Worst washer I have ever owned and the dryer that goes with it is just as bad. This washer has RUINED at least 10 items of clothing. There is no way to fix or recover these items. They came out of the load looking tie dyed. I tried switching detergents, using only clear products and that didn't work. I cannot wash anything that is new and/or white without it getting destroyed. I have had this unit barely over a year. I will never purchase LG again and I'm counting down the days until I can afford to dump this and buy a new one.
