Choosing the Proper

Location

Check the following requirements for the install

location before installing the washer.

• Allow for sufficient space between the walls and

the washer for installation.

• Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of

dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet

cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move

or slide on the floor can contribute to excess

vibration and noise.

• If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to

make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may

cause severe vibration and noise.

Power Outlet

The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m)

of either side of the washer.

• Position the washer so that the outlet and plug

are easily accessible.

• Do not overload the outlet with more than one

appliance.

• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with

current electrical wiring codes and regulations.

• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of

the washer owner to have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

Flooring

• To minimize noise and vibration, install the

washer on a level, solidly constructed floor

capable of supporting the washer without

flexing or bouncing.

• The washer must be installed on firm flooring to

minimize vibration during the spin cycle.

Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is

sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.

• The floor under the washer must not slope more

than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to

side.

• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is

not recommended.

• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly

supported structure.

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet

hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum

clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides

and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure

to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may

increase the required clearances.

Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead

shelves, cabinets, ceilings, etc., is 58 inches (147

cm).

Unpacking and Removing

Shipping Material

Remove all shipping materials from the washer for

proper operation and inspect it for shipping

damage.

CAUTION

• Failure to remove shipping materials can cause

excessive noise and vibration.

Unpacking Shipping Material

1 Lift the washer off of the foam base.

• After removing the carton and shipping

material, lift the washer off the foam base.

• Make sure the plastic tub support

a comes

off with the base and is not stuck to the

bottom of the washer.

• If you must lay the washer down to remove

the carton base

b, always protect the side

of the washer and lay it carefully on its side.

Do not lay the washer on its front or back.

2 Remove the foam tub insert.

• To prevent damage, do not remove the

foam insert

c from the tub until the washer

is in the final location.

NOTE

•Once removed, save the foam insert for future

use. If the washer needs to be moved, the foam

insert will help prevent damage during

transportation.

3 Unfasten the power cord.

• Unfasten the power cord from the back of

the washer.

Connecting the Water Inlet

Hoses

To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase

and install new inlet hoses when installing the

washer.

WARNING

• Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the

hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading

can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in

leaking and property damage.

• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses

when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak

or burst causing flooding and property damage.

Contact an LG Customer Information Center for

assistance in buying hoses.

NOTE

• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,

and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.

• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and

make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or

kinked by other objects.

• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi

and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply

pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure

reducing valve must be installed.

• Your hot water heater should be set to deliver

water at 120 - 135°F (48 - 57°C) to allow the

washer to properly control wash temperatures.

12 INSTALLATION

NOTE

• If your water supply contains a lot of debris, a

whole home water filter may help to remove the

debris from the water before it reaches the

washer inlets.

• Do not store or install the washer in a location

subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the

water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of

the washer can result. If the washer was

exposed to freezing temperatures prior to

installation, allow it to stand at room

temperature for several hours before use and

check for leaks prior to operation.

• Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto

shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped

during fill and prevent the washer from filling

properly.

How to Connect the Water Inlet

Hoses

1 Check the fittings and seals.

• Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose

and make sure there is a rubber seal

a in

place in both ends of each hose to prevent

leaking.

2 Connect the water supply hoses.

• Connect the water inlet hoses to the hot

and cold water faucets tightly by hand and

then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.

• Connect the blue hose to the cold water

faucet and the red hose to the hot water

faucet.

3 After the hoses are connected, turn on the

water faucets and flush out any foreign

substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.

Foreign substances can damage washer inlets

and lead to leakage.

• Let the water drain into a bucket, and check

the water temperature to make sure you’ve

connected the hoses to the correct faucets.

4 Attach the inlet hoses to the back of the

washer.

• Attach the hot water inlet hose to the hot

water inlet on the back of the washer.

Attach the cold water inlet hose to the cold

water inlet on the back of the washer.

• Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both

faucets all the way and check for leaks at

both ends of the hoses.

Connecting the Drain Hose

Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or

laundry tub.

WARNING

• The drain hose should always be properly

secured. Failure to properly secure the drain

hose can result in flooding and property

damage.

NOTE

• The drain must be installed in accordance with

any applicable local codes and regulations.

• Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

13INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

• The end of the drain hose should be located a

minimum of 29.5 inches (75 cm) and a

maximum of 96 inches (244 cm) above the

bottom of the washer.

• For best results, locate the end of the drain hose

no higher than 66 inches (168 cm) above the

bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is

raised beyond 66 inches (168 cm), the drain

function will be increasingly affected.

• Never create an airtight seal between the hose

and the drain with tape or other means. If no air

gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the

tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or

clothing damage.

Using a Standpipe to Drain

1 Insert the end of the drain hose into the

standpipe.

2 Use the provided tie strap a to secure the

drain hose in place.

3 If the water valves and drain are built into the

wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water

hoses with the provided tie strap b (ribbed

side on inside).

CAUTION

• Do not insert the end of the drain hose into the

standpipe more than 8 inches (20 cm). Doing so

can cause siphoning, odors, or improper

draining.

NOTE

• If the drain is large enough for the flange on the

hose to fit inside, then do not insert the flange

more than 1 - 2 inches into the drain.

Using a Laundry Tub to Drain

1 Hang the end of the drain hose over the side

of the laundry tub.

2 Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain

hose in place.

Leveling the Washer

The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To

minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted

movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface.

CAUTION

• Using the washer without leveling it may cause

excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer

malfunction.

• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary

to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet

more than necessary can cause the washer to

vibrate.

14 INSTALLATION

NOTE

• Before installing the washer, make sure that the

floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water

and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily.

Feet that move or slide on the floor can

contribute to excessive vibration and noise.

How to Level the Washer

1 Position the washer in its final location.

• Take special care not to pinch, strain, or

crush the water and drain hoses. If you have

a carpenter’s level

a, you can use it to

check that the washer is level. The slope

beneath the washer should not exceed 1

inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly

on the floor.

2 Open the lid and look from above to see if the

tub is centered.

• If the tub is not centered, readjust the front

feet. If you have a level, check the washer

with the level.

NOTE

• To check if the washer is level from side to side,

place a level on the back edge of the lid.

• To check if the washer is level from front to back,

place a level on the edge where the cabinet side

meets the top cover. Do not place the level on

the top of the lid. Using these surfaces will result

in the washer being unlevel.

3 Adjust the leveling feet.

• Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to

raise the washer or the other direction to

lower it.

4 Recheck the washer’s levelness.

• Push or rock the top edges of the washer

gently to make sure the washer does not

rock. If the washer rocks,readjust the

leveling feet.

• If the lid does not stay open properly,

extend the front leveling legs until the

washer is level from front to back.

Final Installation Check

Connecting to the Power Supply

Plug the washer into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded 3-

prong outlet.

WARNING

• Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or

power plug. Replace or repair it immediately.

Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric

shock, or malfunction.

Sorting Laundry

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the

possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into

loads made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can

result in poor wash performance, color transfer,

discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics

should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately

from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes

with light clothes can result in dye transfer or

discoloration of the lighter clothes.

18 OPERATION

Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing

lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily

soiled clothing could result in poor wash

performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or

sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with

delicates can result in poor wash performance for

the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the

delicates.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while

others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid

mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in

the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in

pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For

example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer

- terry cloth towels.)

How to Sort Laundry

CAUTION

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub

should not be tightly packed with items. The lid

of the washer should close easily.

•Use the Bedding cycle for buoyant or

nonabsorbent items such as pillows or

comforters. Failure to follow this caution can

result in leakage.

• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water

resistant must be washed in the Waterproof

cycle only. (Examples include water resistant

clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and

plastic mats.) Using another cycle may result in

personal injury or damage to the washer,

clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects

due to abnormal vibration.

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.

Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option

selections to care for your clothing according to

the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Loading the Washer

General Tips

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins,

matches, and other items can damage clothing

and the washer.

• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to

prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items

before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade

other fabrics and lead to poor wash

performance.

• Combine large and small items in the tub. Load

large items first. Large items should not be more

than half of total load.

• For best results, load dry items only. If washing

very wet items, wring out excess water before

loading, or run a Spin Only cycle to extract

excess water before adding detergent and

starting the desired cycle.

of the washer must close easily.

• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid

open.

• Do not overload the tub. Clothes should fit

loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line a.

Loading clothes over the fill line may result in

damage to clothing and the washer.

- Do not press down on items while stacking

them in the tub.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the

tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to

get clean.

Bulky Items

• Do not wash entire pillows or cushions. Remove

pillow or cushion inserts and wash the covers

only.

•Use the Bedding cycle for large or bulky items

such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows,

etc. These items may not be as absorbent as

other laundry items and should be sorted into a

separate wash load for best performance.

• Bulky items should be placed as far down in the

tub as possible for best performance. Always

place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub.

The washer will automatically detect the load

size. Because of the high efficiency wash system,

the water level may not completely cover the

load.

Small Items

• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough

similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-

balance load.

• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small

items can get caught in the impeller at the

bottom of the tub, and brassiere hooks can

damage other items or the tub.

General Tips for Models with an

Impeller

If the appliance uses a low profile rotating hub in

the drum, follow these instructions when loading

the washer.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.

• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy

blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds

can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if

combined with other items.

Adding Cleaning Products

About Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-

Efficiency) detergents.

• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve

more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing

performance, and help to keep the interior of

the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE

may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory

performance which could result in error codes,

cycle failure, and washer damage.

• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may

not provide optimal results.

• For proper wash performance, always measure

detergent using the measuring device provided

by the detergent manufacturer. For an average

load, use less than half of the recommended

maximum. Use less detergent for soft water,

light soil, or smaller loads.

20 OPERATION

• Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X

concentrated detergents because even a small

amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.

• Never use more than the maximum amount of

detergent recommended by the manufacturer.

Using too much detergent can lead to

oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in

clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute

to odors in the washer.

• Do not use more than one single-use detergent

pack or detergent tablet in the washer. Using too

much detergent may cause oversudsing and

unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent

amount or add an extra rinse if detergent

residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse,

select the Extra Rinse option.

c Liquid detergent

d Powdered detergent

Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or

Tablet Detergents

Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel

or tablet detergents in the tub before loading

laundry. Do not place these detergents in the

dispenser.

About the Dispensers

The automatic dispenser consists of two

compartments which hold:

• Liquid fabric softener

• Liquid detergent for main wash

CAUTION

• Do not place or store laundry products, such as

detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on

top of your washer. These products can damage

the washer’s finish and controls.

NOTE

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations

when adding cleaning products.

Using the ezDispense Function

When the ezDispense function is turned on, the

liquid detergent and softener are dispensed in the

set amounts, at the appropriate time during the

cycle.

• A full detergent reservoir will last for around 12

standard cycles, with 8-12 lb (4-6 kg) of normally

soiled laundry.

• The default settings are configured to dispense

1.5 oz (45 ml) of detergent and 1 oz (30 ml) of

softener for 8-12 lb (4-6 kg) of normally soiled

laundry. This can be changed using the Default

Det. Dispense or Default Soft. Dispense

setting. For more details, see “Additional

Settings” in the More Options and Settings

section.

• If you are notified of a shortage of detergent or

softener, the amount of detergent or softener

provided may be reduced, so please replenish

when the notification occurs.

1 Slowly slide the detergent dispenser drawer

out as far as it will go.

a Liquid fabric softener reservoir

b Main wash liquid detergent reservoir

2 Turn the lids on the ezDispense reservoirs to

open them.

21OPERATION

ENGLISH

3 Pour the detergent and softener into their

respective reservoirs, up to the MAX line.

•The ezDispense drawer has two reservoirs.

Put the liquid detergent into the larger

reservoir and the fabric softener into the

smaller reservoir.

• Use only liquid HE detergents in the

ezDispense detergent reservoir.

• Do not put liquid or powdered bleach, or

powdered, gel or sheet type detergents into

the ezDispense reservoirs.

• Do not mix powdered detergent with liquid

detergent.

• Remove any residual detergent on the

outside of the ezDispense drawer before

inserting it.

• Do not try to fill the reservoirs too quickly.

Add detergent and softener slowly to avoid

overflows.

4 After filling the reservoirs, insert the lids and

turn them to the right until they are tightly

closed.

• Securely close the lids to the ezDispense

reservoirs to minimize airflow which can

harden cleaning products and prevent them

from dispensing properly. Be careful not to

lose the lids.

• If the reservoir cover is not installed

properly, the product may not fit, the

detergent or softener inside may harden, or

water may enter the water tank.

CAUTION

• Close the covers properly.

- If the reservoir covers are not closed properly,

the dispenser drawer may not be reinstalled.

- If there is a gap between the covers and the

reservoir, detergent and softener may harden

or water may enter the reservoir.

5 Close the dispenser drawer slowly before

starting the cycle.

• Make sure the dispenser drawer is fully

closed. If the drawer is not completely

closed, you may see an error code or the

detergent or softener may not dispense

properly.

• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the

drawer while closing.

CAUTION

• Slide the detergent dispenser drawer out or in

slowly and use both hands for safety. Failure to

do so can damage the washer or cause the

detergent or softener to leak out of the

ventilation holes.

• Detergent or fabric softener left in the

ezDispense reservoirs for an extended period

may harden and fail to dispense properly.

• Do not remove the dispenser drawer while the

product is in operation.

• Remove detergent/softener in the ezDispense

reservoirs before moving the washer.

NOTE

• If not using the ezDispense function, pour the

detergent directly into the tub. When using

powdered detergent, the detergent may clump

up, so add the detergent first and then load the

laundry.

• When using for the first time, or when the

detergent reservoir is completely emptied and a

new detergent is filled, the amount of detergent

or softener input may be low.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment

at the left front of the tub opening.

WARNING

• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or

acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover.

Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal

gas, resulting in severe injury or death.

22 OPERATION

NOTE

• Do not add powdered bleach to this dispenser.

The bleach dispenser is designed to dispense

liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe

bleach will not dispense properly.

• Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach

dispenser when loading and unloading the

washer.

• Never add more than one cup of bleach and do

not exceed the maximum fill line since this can

cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately.

Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach

directly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric

damage can occur.

• Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in

the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

1 Check clothing care labels for special

instructions.

2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following the

instructions on the bottle.

• HE (High-Efficiency) washers use less water,

so less bleach is needed. One half cup is

enough for most loads.

3 Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of

bleach directly into the bleach dispenser.

• If you are using powdered bleach of any

kind, pour it directly into the tub before

adding the laundry.

• Never add powdered bleach to the liquid

bleach dispenser.

Immediate Bleach Dispenser

When you pour the bleach into the bleach

dispenser, the bleach is immediately added to the

tub as it fills with water, safely diluting the bleach.

Wash cycle time is

longer than usual.

The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the amount of laundry, water

pressure and other operating conditions.

• This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time automatically to provide optimal results for

the selected cycle. The time remaining shown in the display is only an estimate. Actual time

may vary.

Incomplete or no

dispensing of

detergent

Detergent compartments clogged from incorrect filling.

• Make sure that detergent and additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments.

• For all detergent types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is fully closed before

the start of the cycle.

Too much detergent used.

• Make sure that the suggested amount of detergent is used according to the

manufacturer’s recommendations. You may also dilute the detergent with water to the

maximum fill line on the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE (High-Efficiency)

detergent.

- Always use as little detergent as possible. HE (High-Efficiency) washers need very little

detergent to achieve optimum results. Using too much detergent will cause poor wash

and rinse performance and may contribute to odors in the washer.

Insufficient water supply

• Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way.

Normal residue

• It is normal for a small amount of detergent to remain in the dispenser. If this residue

builds up, it can interfere with normal dispensing of detergents. Refer to the cleaning

instructions.

Washer will not

operate.

Control panel has powered off due to inactivity.

• This is normal. Press the Power button to turn on the washer.

Washer is unplugged.

• Make sure that the power cord is plugged securely into an electrical outlet.

Water supply is turned off.

• Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.

Controls are not set properly.

• Make sure that the cycle was set correctly, close the lid and press the Start/Pause button

to start the wash cycle.

Lid is open.

• Close the lid and make sure that noting is caught under the lid preventing it from closing

completely.

Circuit breaker/fuse is tripped/blown.

• Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or reset breaker. The washer should be

on a dedicated branch circuit.

Start/Pause button was not pressed after the cycle was set.

• Press the Power button then reselect the desired cycle and press the Start/Pause button.

If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer will be turned

off. (The time varies by model, from 4 to 60 minutes.)

Extremely low water pressure.

• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is

adequate.

Washer is too cold.

• If the washer has been exposed to temperatures below freezing for an extended period of

time, allow it to warm up before pressing the Power button. Otherwise, the display will not

come on.

Washer is not filling

properly.

Filter is clogged.

• Make sure that inlet filters on the fill valves are not clogged. Refer to Cleaning the Water

Inlet Filters in MAINTENANCE.

Inlet hoses may be kinked.

• Check that inlet hoses are not kinked or clogged.

Energy efficiency

• This is a High-Efficiency (HE) washer. As a result, the water level settings for this washer

may be different than for conventional washer.

Insufficient water supply

• Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way.

Washer lid is open.

• Close the lid and make sure that nothing is caught under the lid preventing it from closing

completely.

Water level is too low.

• The water will not normally cover the clothes. The fill level is optimized for the wash

motion to achieve the best wash performance.

Water in the washer

does not drain or

drains slowly.

Drain hose is kinked, pinched, or clogged.

• Make sure that the drain hose is free of clogs or kinks and is not pinched behind or under

the washer.

The end of the drain hose is more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the

washer.

• Move the end of the drain hose so that it is lower than 96 inches (2.4 m).

Bleach does not

dispense.

Bleach dispenser cover is not properly installed (on some models).

• Make sure that the bleach cover is properly installed and snapped into place before the

beginning of the cycle.

ENGLISH

Performance

Bleach does not

dispense.

Bleach dispenser is dirty or clogged.

• Lift out the bleach dispenser cover (if present) and clean out the reservoir. Lint and other

foreign debris that are collected inside the dispenser may prevent proper dispensing of

the bleach.

Premature

dispensing of bleach

Bleach dispenser filled for future load.

• You cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future use. The bleach will be dispensed every

load.

Overfilling the bleach dispenser

• Overfilling the bleach dispenser will cause the bleach to dispense immediately, which will

damage the laundry or the washer. Always measure bleach, but never fill above the max

line on the dispenser. A half cup of bleach is sufficient for most loads. Never use more

than 1 cup of bleach.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Wrinkling Washer is not unloaded promptly.

• Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete.

Washer is overloaded.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid

of the washer should close easily.

Hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed.

• Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the Inlet hose connectors.

Staining Bleach or softener dispensed too soon.

• Dispenser compartment was overfilled, causing the bleach or softener to dispense

immediately. Always measure bleach, and never use more than 1 cup.

Bleach or softener was added directly to the wash load in the tub.

• Always use the dispensers to ensure that laundry products are properly dispensed at the

right time in the cycle.

Washer was not unloaded promptly.

• Always remove items from the washer as soon as possible after the cycle is completed.

Clothes were not properly sorted.

• Always wash dark colors separately from light colors and whites to prevent discoloration.

• Never wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled items.

Musty or mildewy

odor in the washer

Incorrect or too much detergent has been used.

• Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

Inside of the tub was not cleaned properly.

• Run the Tub Clean cycle regularly.

Wi-Fi

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Your home appliance

and smartphone are

not connected to the

Wi-Fi network.

The password for the Wi-Fi that you are trying to connect to is incorrect.

• Find the Wi-Fi network connected to your smartphone and remove it, then connect your

appliance on LG ThinQ.

Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.

• Turn off the Mobile data of your smartphone and connect the appliance using the Wi-Fi

network.

The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.

• The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and

numbers. (Do not use special characters.)

The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.

• Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the wireless router to 2.4 GHz and

connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with

your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer.

The appliance is too far from the router.

• If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal may be weak and the connection may

not be configured correctly. Move the location of the router so that it is closer to the

appliance.

LG ThinQ is asking for a password to connect to the product.

• If you are asked to provide a password to connect to the product (not to your home

network) during the Wi-Fi setup, enter the last 4 characters of the network name, repeated

twice, with no spaces. For example, if the network name appears as LG_XXXX_8b92, then

you would enter 8b928b92 as your password. The password is case sensitive and the last 4

characters are unique to your appliance.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED

WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND

NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH

WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its

parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,

predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include

any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute,

regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or

relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify

LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG

Electronics USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.

You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The

55LIMITED WARRANTY

ENGLISH

notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of

the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to

resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during

the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us

only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute

between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or

entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you

and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of

arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court

action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written

demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association

(“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that

are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the

procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer

. Send a

copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner

described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics USA,

Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict

between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern.

This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the

arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except

that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of

the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any

disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable

federal law.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand

for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000

in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as

otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any

arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the

arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering

factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator

can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your

claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by

the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will

be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously

disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise

provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails

in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration

conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic

hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the

right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a

location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or

we agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can

require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no

later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by

either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com

, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-

800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address;

(b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d)

the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://

www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial

Number”).

56 LIMITED WARRANTY

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail

or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure.

Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any

way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and

do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH

BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED

AT LAW, YOU AND LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING

OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its

parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,

predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include

any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute,

regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or

relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify

LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LGECI Legal

Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the “Notice of Dispute”). You and LG

agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must

provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim;

and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the

dispute within 30 days of LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by binding

arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out herein. You and LG both agree that, during the

arbitration proceeding, the terms (including any amount) of any settlement offer made by either you or LG

will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until the arbitrator determines the dispute.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during

the 30 day period after LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you and LG agree to resolve any claims

between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided

below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause in the circumstances of the

claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree to the

arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be

combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More

specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at

law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or

representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims

court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to

the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to

the claims at issue between you and LG.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written

demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be private and confidential, and conducted on a simplified and

expedited basis before a single arbitrator chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial

commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your residence. You must also send a

copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 20

Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable

provincial or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s

award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that, issues

relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute

are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the province or territory of your purchase shall govern this Limited Warranty

and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent

with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim,

action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the

courts of the province or territory of your purchase for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or

controversy between you and LG.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand

for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees unless you seek more than $25,000 in

damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules.

Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any

arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this arbitration provision. If you

prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by

60 LIMITED WARRANTY

considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an

arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the

substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose

(as measured by the applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the

applicable arbitration rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously

disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable arbitration rules. Except as

otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if

LG prevails in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration

conducted solely (1) on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic

hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim

exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Any in-

person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location

available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another

location or agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Severability and Waiver. If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures)

is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent

permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited

Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not mean that LG intends to waive or has waived

any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.

Opt Out.You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can

require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no

later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by

either (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com

, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out;” or (ii) calling 1-

800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address;

(b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d)

the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://

www.lg.com/ca_en/support/repair-service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on “Find My Model &

Serial Number”).

In the event that you “Opt Out”, the law of the province or territory of your residence shall govern this

Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted

by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted

for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG agree to attorn to the

exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the resolution of the

claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail

or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure.

Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any

way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and

do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

Conflict of Terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Limited Warranty

and the End User License Agreement (“EULA”) in regards to dispute resolution, the terms of this Limited

Warranty shall control and govern the rights and obligations of the parties and shall take precedence over

the EULA.
