Go big to save time and get more done
Say never again to never-ending piles of laundry. This 4.5 cu. ft. ultra large capacity washer fits more in every load and helps you power through laundry day in less time. Bring on big loads of towels or jeans -this washer fits more in every load up to 20 lbs.
ThinQ Care
Keep your appliances running smoothly with ThinQ Care, now in the ThinQ app. Get notifications about usage, maintenance, plus early diagnosis right on your phone. ThinQ Care will help you understand your appliance needs, avoid potential problems, and keep your appliance running its best.
Power clean big loads in under 30 minutes¹
With TurboWash 360°, you can clean larger loads fast and get more done while enjoying the same great washing performance you expect from LG.
Five powerful jets with variable sprays surround clothes from multiple angles so detergent can penetrate deep into fabrics for a complete clean—even for big loads—in under 30 minutes.¹
Built-in intelligence takes out the guesswork
Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles—built-in sensors use AI Fabric Sensor technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right wash motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care.
With Smart Pairing, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle, making it the ultimate laundry hack.²
Deep clean with the power of steam
AAFA certified LG washers with the Allergiene Cycle use the power of steam to remove over 95%³ of dust, pet dander and pollen.
Run your home like a pro
The LG ThinQ app helps you manage your LG Smart appliance and more, all to make your everyday a little easier. Automatically reorder supplies based on actual usage. Start or stop programs on your way home from work.⁴
Cleans like warm, saves like cold
Cold wash without compromise. Cold Wash technology penetrates deep into fabrics, for cold water savings⁵ with warm water performance.
Count on quiet, efficient performance
Backed by a 10-year limited warranty, the LG Direct Drive Motor delivers peace of mind with every load. Fewer moving parts means less noise and vibration, greater stability and durable performance you can depend on for years to come.
Save water, energy, money
This LG high efficiency washer uses far less water and energy than a conventional washer for savings that add up with each load.⁶
Flexibility to fit almost any space
LG closet-depth washers and dryers have a shallower depth, under 33 1/2" deep, to fit in more places & add sleek style to any room. Install the pair side-by-side, or get a stacking kit and install the dryer over the washer to save even more space.
Smooth surface helps prevent snags
Unlike drums made from porcelain or plastic, the LG NeveRust stainless steel drum avoids the chips and nicks that can snag fabrics and ruin clothing.
The easier way to keep your washer fresh and clean
With the LG Tub Clean system, you don’t have to worry about mold, mildew or musty odors. Select Tub Clean, add liquid bleach or other cleaner and let the washer work to thoroughly clean and dry the tub, door and gaskets.
Put peace and quiet back into your day
Run the washer whenever you want— LG 's True Balance Anti-Vibration and LoDecibel systems are designed for quiet operation that keeps even big loads in balance to reduce washer noise and vibration. A must-have for main-floor or second-floor laundry rooms.
Premium looks designed to last
LG front load washers and dryers use tempered glass doors for a sleek, stylish look that resists shock and scratches. Chrome door rim and matching digital control knob complement the door and enhance the premium feel.
Requires fill hose (not included)
for standard hook-up upon delivery.
