    Overview

    Delay Start

    Ideal for the time-poor, the Delay Start function will begin and end a cycle so it's ready for drying when you wake up, or when you come home after a long day.

    Quiet Motor

    Direct Drive and Inverter motors have less moving parts, resulting in a longer lifespan. They use their motor to directly rotate the washing machine's drum meaning they are more energy efficient and operate more quietly.

    Wool Program

    Safely wash your delicate woollens with this tailored program designed to provide the highest level of care for your garments.

    Manufacturer’s Warranty

    Supported by a manufacturer’s warranty, this appliance offers added reassurance for everyday use, with warranty coverage available in accordance with the manufacturer’s applicable terms and conditions.

    DONT BUY AN LG WASHING MACHINE
    Worst washing machine ever. I would give it 0 stars if I could, whites come out disgusting and covered in black specs. Thought it was something I was doing wrong for years until I decided to read reviews of it. Super slow to fill and wash. Good thing it’s discontinued.

    Great design
    Great machine. Without the centre tower it has been so universally functional. No issues with cleaning and I have run filthy concrete and clay through it.

    WT-R 10686
    Have had this washer for a few years now. Tried to take it back about a week after buying & realising it doesn’t wash clothes properly. Very annoying as it’s not cheap. Using the quick wash function the clothes come out dirty - but completely drenched. Using the normal function, some of the clothes come out with dry spots. So basically you need to turn the wash, rinse and water settings to the highest so your clothes can actually get a semi decent wash. Will hopefully replace soon.

    Good morning, Thank you for this question before you contact LG for service you could try disconnecting the power cord from the powerpoint then leave out for about 2 minutes then try again if still locked then a call to LG customer care please make sure you have your Tax invoice available when the technician arrives to show proof of purchase otherwise they will charge you for the call out and repair.
