Couldn't be happier!

I started using my new laundry machines today and I absolutely love them. They take up less space than my old laundry pair but they're much bigger on the inside. I washed my king-sized comforter and there was easily room in the washing machine for two more comforters. Next I did a huge load of towels and after the wash and spin cycles, the washing machine looked two-thirds empty. The spin cycle itself does a fantastic job and as I pulled the towels out of the machine to put them in the dryer, I was impressed at how dry they already were. That saved a lot of time in the dryer so that's a nice little bonus the documentation didn't mention.

Nice looking unit

I like the easy clothes lid and I really like where you add the detergent, it's a nice easy drawer to pull out and fill with whichever detergent you choose

Spin cycle

No matter which cycle (normal, deep wash, delicates) adjusting the spin cycle always leaves clothes too wrung out & wrinkled. It's as if the spin cycle only has 1 setting. Leaves even the delicate clothes way too wrinkled.

LG WT8405CB Washing Machine

Overall, this LG washing machine does a very good job when it comes to cleaning clothes. It washes thoroughly, handles different load sizes well, and my laundry consistently comes out fresh and clean. Performance-wise, I’m very satisfied. That said, the lid is a major weakness. The hinge is made of cheap plastic and has broken twice, forcing me to replace the lid each time. This feels like a design flaw and is disappointing for an appliance that otherwise works so well. If LG improved the lid and used more durable materials for the hinge, this would be an excellent washing machine. As it stands, great washing performance is held back by poor build quality in a critical part.

LG washer

Doesn’t wash as well as I expected and the water level is very low unless you choose fill drum

reply from LG CareQ

Thank you for your feedback regarding your LG WT8405CB washer. We understand it can be frustrating when the water levels or wash performance do not meet your expectations. As a High-Efficiency (HE) model, this washer is designed to use significantly less water by utilizing AI Sensing to detect the weight and fabric type of each load, often resulting in water levels that do not fully submerge all items. If you prefer more water or feel the cleaning performance is lacking, please try the following: Deep Fill Option: Pressing the Deep Fill button once adds extra water to most cycles. To achieve a maximum water level, press and hold the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds. Cycle Selection: For bulky items like towels or jeans, consider using the Deep Wash or Bedding cycles, which are specifically programmed to use higher water levels. Troubleshooting: If the water level seems unusually low (e.g., clothes remain dry), please ensure your water inlet filters are not clogged and that the water supply valves are fully open. For further assistance or to walk through these settings together, you can reach our team at 1-888-542-2623.

Warranty Washed Out

I bought this washing machine along with five other LG appliances on a lay-away on February 10, 2025 and accepted delivery only on June 12, 2025 after the extensive renovations were completed on the condo I purchased. LG claims that my One Year Warranty is no longer in effect on any of the appliances, because… (drum roll)… they consider February 10, 2025 as the start date for the warranty period.

Drum stopped spinning properly

Drum stopped spinning properly 2 weeks after 1 year warranty ended. Garbage product.

We understand how frustrating it is when your LG WT8405CW drum isn’t spinning properly. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue: Check Load Balance – Overloading or unevenly distributed laundry can prevent the drum from spinning. Try redistributing the load or reducing the number of items. Check the Door – Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. The washer won’t spin if the door lock isn’t engaged. Check for Error Codes – If your washer displays an error code, refer to the user manual for guidance. Power Reset – Unplug the washer for a few minutes, then plug it back in and restart the cycle. If the drum still does not spin properly after these steps, please contact our LG CareQ Team with your reference number CNN260324703192 and bill of sale, and they’ll review your case and advise on the next steps: 1-888-542-2623 | https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/contact-us/ Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
