I got the same washer imma let y’all know right now it doesn’t give u enough water I wish I would’ve bought another washer I’m very disappointed with this especially after all the money I spent. I’m use to washer giving u enough water not giving u how much water they think u should have. This washer could’ve been made better So in other words if u would like more water don’t buy this washer because u would be very disappointed trust and believe I know 😠
Bought this matching dryer/washer a few weeks ago. My only complaint is the drain hose is extremely short. Had to rig an extension, because I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get the drain hose back clip off the machine. If anyone has any clue how to do it without it feeling like the clip that holds the hose in place is going to break, I’ll just replace the hose
Great video but my recommendation is to buy another Manufacturer. We purchased a set and within the first 3 Months the washer had failed and 11 Months later here we are again. So, if you enjoy wasting time on the phone and money and time at the Laundromat, I’d recommend skipping this model all together. Great video though!
I wash a heavy blanket and it’s still soak on water. It didn’t drain all the way. I’m trying to use drain only, but it goes to the hold washing process. Pls if anyone one know how to solve this problem let me know. Thank you
Question, do the Normal and Speed Wash Rinse cycles fill the tub with water to rinse? Mine does not, it just sprays and spins! A technician came out because my clothes are full of lint, he ran both the Normal and Speed wash one without the clothes and the other with the clothes that is full of lint and the clothes still have the lint all over. It just doesn’t make sense that the tub doesn’t fill with water to rinse and LG refuses to make it right. Please respond and let me know if your washer doesn’t fill the tub in the rinse cycles.
Good review dude. I just bought the same model for a good deal. My old Maytag lid switch finally gave up and I did not want to mess with it. I also notice rust stains forming in the drum which means the inner parts are rusted. Gave the old beater to the neighbor since it still works and can be used for other than normal laundry such as rags.
How can I activate the alarm of my washing machine, it is exactly the same one that appears in the video but the alarm no longer sounds when it ends and not when I select when turning
I do not like that kind of detergent that you had before that I liked it all the detergents but not gained … I like all the detergents that’s because I really like the detergent
Tide can really mess things up. Oxy is the only thing that I can use otherwise my cloths stick to the drum and it gets out-of-balance. Switching to Oxy fixed all that…..
I have this same exact washer n it does not clean well on any of the cycles. I put more detergent than im suppose to use n it still doesn’t make bubbles. The lack of water in the cycles are a joke! This washer is straight garbage! My clothes are never fully clean!! My opinion! Thanks for sharing! I gave your video a 👍🏽
Very helpful vid, thank you! I just began using my new washer that’s almost the same as this one. As far as loading in the manual it actually says not to places the clothes in a ‘ring’ arrangement. As to water levels I haven’t tried the ‘water plus’ function but I definitely want more water filling the drum. With loads of towels they just got twisted around each other and the detergent and water could not possibly have worked their way thru the towels as required. I did not realize how much water saving is emphasized with these washers. I’m less concerned with that than getting my towels and clothing clean!
I wanted to run the spin cycle only. I pressed power, hold down the spin option and pressed start, but after a few spin it started to load a lot of water. What was I doing wrong?
What’s with the 29 thumbs down. This is just a regular guy sharing his experience with the LG WT7100CW washer. It’s great that he took the time to make this video. I just bought this machine and was going to return it because I didn’t really understand most of it’s functions until I watched this. Turns out this machine is fairly simple to use. Thank you WillieMeetsWorld
It appears your drum is not centered ‘left-to-right’ and not centered ‘front-to-back’ to the cabinet opening….. instructions say to center the wash drum (by leveling all 4 corner leg levelers) to the circumference of the opening of the metal cabinet. During the ‘spin’ cycle, does the chrome center cap at the bottom of the wash drum ‘wobble’ or spin off-center….?? Does the washer vibrate excessively? Thanks.
Thanks for the video – how did you level this machine so it doesn’t vibrate during the spin cycle? I followed the directions, leveling the ‘front-to-back’ and ‘side-to-side’ cabinet…. but then the ‘wash drum’ wasn’t quite centered to the cabinet opening as required….. so I adjusted all four leveling legs of the washer to center the tub to the cabinet opening, and then the cabinet wasn’t level….. but the drum did spin truer, without as much wobble (looking at the bottom center cap of the tub during the spin cycle)….. still, the cabinet seemed to vibrate excessively during certain mid-rpms of the spin cycle……
In normal HE mode it does spray rinses from the blue nozzle. Or if you don’t select softener rinse. 3 to 4 fills and then recirculate via blue nozzle wide spray pattern. Very GOOD RINSE SYSTEM .
SOFTNER rinse fills with water ..a deep traditional rinse.. HE mode spray rinses then extracts the load …if set to extra high or high spin at 950 RPM’s.
Great water removal and reduces at least 25 min of your drying time.
Buy the way the call that a Wash plate or Infuser . The basket also plays a role in cleaning. The bubble shape indentations and the lines at the bottom also gently scrubs the textiles. Using the bedding cycle automatically will fill to the top. It also switch gears and the drum rotates without the wash plate in action. Also in any cycle it will use the Washplate then spin*wash by letting the water run thru clothes getting stains out quicker plus it’s gentle on clothes. Someone said the blue nozzle is for a spot fill with the lid open. Sorry that is another brand Samsung or GE. Has a finger faucet in the basket area. Washing mostly vin HE is fine . It will bloom . Instead if the clothes coming in traditionally towards the center regular rollover. This will in HE or big loads called Blooming action. They come out if the center wash* plate reverse rollover going backwards and under again. It also does traditional rollover depending on cycle and low to medium and light weight clothing say on gentle . Or a deep wash water level. This has about 6 different rotation speeds on the Washplate as well as the spin wash.
Low to med loads spin washes much more aggressive . Then with larger water level it will go slower . Because if weight and high water level. So say a white sick wash it would benefit from a small to med small load. For maximum cleanability and water power to clean.
Wipe down the upper level stuff flies
out of clothes makes a mess so I keep a wash cloth for wiping every time . This prevents build up of hair dust grass dirt cat or dog hair . Clean your dispenser once a month . Also clean your tub once a month and wash your basket that may have a line of build up crude from oils skin particals and soup build up. Use hot water and or warm washes to prevent the outer basket from build up. Cold only washes or good at times. But not consistently. You need hear to break down build up and mold it is a moisture trap all washers. Get Tide washer clean . Or other tub cleaners like Afresh tablets.
Delay washing is cool . Have it come on at night and press no spin and go to spin speeds . 1 that keeps things moving .cheap rates at night..and will hold the clothes in water so know mildew sets in with a damp load that spun and you can’t get to it right away.
Load this machine with towels with towels ,, shirts with shirts ,,jeans with jeans and or khaki pants . Also do stuff by weight. Light stuff with a heavy towel or hoody is asking for trouble. Synthetics like gym pants shirts again light with the delicates cycle works great. I have a polo style type shirts ..then a sock night ..towel day this keeps it simple not overwhelming . Use your features not just Normal. One type of detergent does not work with all textiles. There’s Woolite Dark for your nice dark clothes you want to reduce fading cheer color guard is good MAS at walmart is good for darks . They have a neutralizer in the formula that cancelles out chlorine in the water .
That can cause fading over time. I use that with the delicate cycle to reduce over agitation helps to keep color . Cold to cool wash temps and 1 /3 full for better cleaning as well as dress shirts .They need circulation for less wrinkling . Finally leave your lid open after washing again you want a dry basket inside the outer tub . Less bacteria and build up. Then the next day or hours later you can close the lid. That’s a glass window keep it clean weekly also rain ex keeps it from fogging . Water build up can etch the glass over time and permanent water calcium or other anomalies can make your glass stain and set permanently.
Spray polish around the top and inner porcelain and cabinet helps keep your machine from rusting especially where the dispensers are. And the tub ring pull towards you in sections wipe down or build up occurs . Washers don’t wash itself. So matinance IS IMPORTANT FOR THE LONG RUN OF ANY WASHER.
PEOPLE really don’t respect or keep there machines in top shape. There so dirty because they think it’s not important and throw clothes detergent and run. But being a appliance sales men and really like laundry machines.
And the I know the tedious task of laundry ..well you can make it better for just those tips. And don’t mega overwhelmed 2 weeks or pile up Laundry . It will where you out. And then the quality disappear and then your textiles suffer. OOOOH no lint givers or lint takers in the wash basket . Fuzz balls from towels mixed gym clothes makes balls and beady ugly worn out looking clothes . So shedding towels should not mix with other clothes. That’ is true. Lol
Hope this helps .☀️🌀☮️
The extra spray nozzle next to the soap tray is for a pre-treat. Likley only sprays with lid open, to spot treat something. Shuts off when lid is closed.
Thank you for the demo! I have the same washer and purchased it mid July this summer. I noticed it was filling up with TOO much water after the 8-10 loads I have done since I moved. Even with the lightest load it was filling it to almost the brim of the tub and the agitator wasn’t spinning as it should. Being it’s still new, I couldn’t really compare to see if what I was assuming was correct and it needed to get repaired. With your demo, I definitely now know that I am wasting soo much water and my clothes are not being cleaned well with the agitator working as it was on gentle cycle. NOTE: I use normal cycle as well and your demo really helped. I called LG to get service work order done. Thank god it’s under warranty! They are coming tomorrow. 🙂
A product review and b-roll footage of the LG High Efficiency Washer model WT7100CW.
How do you put it to just rinse and spin
nice we love ours !!! hope the day is starting out good
It don’t look like it cleans well.
I got the same washer imma let y’all know right now it doesn’t give u enough water I wish I would’ve bought another washer I’m very disappointed with this especially after all the money I spent.

Appreciate the great review.
Take care from Montréal, Québec 😀

Thanks. This helped me understand how to operate this machine better than the manual did.

Anyone knows how to fix water that wont stop pouring in even if machine unplug??? Could use some help here!!!
I have this exactly washer and dryer about two years ago I’m happy with and thank you for the introduction
Just bought this! Thanks so much for info, super helpful. Any issues with glass lid getting gross?

How do you like the washer now that you’ve had it for a while?
Thanks for making this video. Can this machine spin only? Thanks for your reply.
Thank you so much for sharing. Very helpful. 🥰
I do not like that kind of detergent that you had before that I liked it all the detergents but not gained … I like all the detergents that’s because I really like the detergent
If for some reason I need to stop this washer while it’s working how do I do that
Is the cold wash light supposed to light up when you press the button? I would think it should but mine isn’t and I am wondering if I need to return.
Great Review and Tutorial on this machine. I’m gonna get one now. Thanks for your help!
Tide can really mess things up. Oxy is the only thing that I can use otherwise my cloths stick to the drum and it gets out-of-balance. Switching to Oxy fixed all that…..
Does it only take liquid soap ? Or can it use the powder detergent ?
My LG also doesn’t have an agitator. I’ve got a wife for that.

Nice informative review. This particular machine is a Consumer Reports best buy. Thanks
Bought one at home depot, It lasted 1year 4 months, It’s in the scrap yard now.
Thank you for your help me to understanding the washer.
Where is spin only?
Pop pop
How much water do you get with the deep wash,could you make a video on that.dont see any.

They’ve changed how their machines work. They now have a Water Plus button to add more water, and a Turbo 3D Wash.
I don’t like agitatorless washers, but this one has decent wash action at least.

Willie, why am I here? How did I even get here? YouTube in the background like "I know this voice. WHAT?!"
Test the drum with a magnet to know if it is truly stainless steel or not.
Cómo se lava o se le pone agua manual mente le pongo y no lava

Stay away from LG •
what is the size of the drum?
Just bought this washer last week and I love it. Our clothes are nearly dry when the spin cycle stops
Does anyone now how to turn the sound on and off
The extra spray nozzle next to the soap tray is for a pre-treat. Likley only sprays with lid open, to spot treat something. Shuts off when lid is closed.
Thanks for the video, just bought one of these, unfortunately the store lost the manual 🙄 . This video came in handy.
