"Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Top-Load Washers"


For Small Loads That Are a Big Deal

Add the revolutionary LG SideKickTM pedestal washer to the Front Control Dryer you love. Only with LG, wash your small but important loads when you need to or save time by washing two loads at once.


Forget Something" No Problem.

This LG Washer has a built-in pause button that lets you pause your wash after it starts and drop in a stray piece of clothing


A revolutionary spin on laundry

LG puts a modern spin on the traditional top load design. By moving the control panel from the back to the front, the buttons and LED display are easier to read and use. This simple change makes for a more intuitive and functional design and a look that is unlike anything you've ever seen.


Laundry At the Speed of Life

Soccer practice. Groceries. Dinner. Dishes. Shouldn't your laundry move as fast as you" Now it can, with LG's enhanced TurboWash® technology. Powerful high-pressure nozzles save 30 minutes per load, cutting wash time by half-without shortcutting cleaning performance, even on larger loads. Innovation that keeps up with your family calendar" That's not just laundry done fast-it's laundry at the speed of life.

*Compared to an LG top load washer without TurboWash. Based on AHAM-HLW-1-2010 test protocol. Cotton / Normal or comparable cycle at default settings, 8 lb. loads. Excludes quick wash or comparable cycles intended for small, lightly soiled loads only.


Get wise

If you ever experience an issue with your LG washer, you don't have to worry. The SmartDiagnosis feature helps the service center diagnose problems over the phone, or with a simple app on your smart phone, helping you minimize costly, inconvenient service calls.


Count on it

When you buy a washer, you want something reliable that you can count on. Because the Direct Drive Motor uses fewer moving parts and operates more efficiently, LG confidently backs the motor with a 10-year limited warranty.


Measure First

You found the LG washer that fits your lifestyle- now make sure it fits in your space. These LG models are larger than typical washers, measure to ensure your purchase can be successfully delivered and installed.


Save money. Save energy.

When your washer uses about 30% less energy and half the amount of water used by regular washers, you're going to make an impact-on your utility bills, your energy and water consumption, and most importantly, the environment.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Very poor customer service from LG Direct Service

Al Castro 9/20/2022

I love my LG top-load washer that I have had for 8 years. The customer service I got from LG Direct Service..... not so much. I placed a service call on my LG top-load washer because it was not washing. It was load sensing filling with water and it was spinning the drum and ejecting the water from the drum. It just was not performing the wash cycle. The drum would jitter back and forth and the clothes would not agitate. I was aware that if a tech came out to diagnose the issue it would be a non-refundable $125.00 +tax charge that they apply to the cc that you need to provide ahead of time in order to confirm our appointment. Unlike Sears the diagnostic fee cannot be used for the service if I decided to go ahead with the repairs. The tech came to my house as scheduled very nice polite gentleman put the machine into diagnostic mode to listen to the beeps closed the lid and ran a wash cycle. As I had described the only issue was that the wash portion of the cycle was not working. After putting the washer on spin and successfully spinning and wringing the water out he declared unequivocally that the clutch assembly was shot and needed to be replaced. He stated that he was 100 sure that the clutch assembly was the issue and needed a new one. He roughly quoted about $139.00 for the part and about 1 hour for labor because he would have to do a full tare-down of the machine. I asked for a more concise estimate as I would have to discuss with my wife if it would be worth fixing or just getting a new washer. The tech said he would get back to me with a more accurate quote in a few minutes once he went to his truck and looked up the part on his laptop. The tech called the next day and stated that the part I need is no longer available and that he would not be able to fix the washer so the rest of the service incident would be canceled. I immediately went online and found at least 4 places that had the part I needed in stock. I ordered the part from Sears PartsDirect and paid a $44.00 expedite fee because the laundry was piling up and planned to do the repair myself. In the interim I began to disassemble the washer in preparation for the clutch assemblys arrival. I pulled the tub ring off removed the wash-plate cap removed the wash-plate AKA pulsator assembly agitator plate etc.. The next step was to remove a 38mm nut that holds the clutch assembly to the drum but I could not get it off with an adjustable wrench so I had to purchase a 38mm socket from amazon for $18.00. While I waited for the socket I inspected the hole that wash-plate mounts onto the shade of the clutch and noticed that the hole was completely smooth... that didnt seem right because in my mind how could that possibly agitate back and forth on the clutch shaft if its smooth? I submitted the question to LG support who took over 24 hours to say that they could not give me an answer and would need a technician to determine that. Meanwhile a quick google search verified that indeed there should be ridges/grooves on the inside of the hole to engage the clutch. This is something that the LG tech should have checked and realized immediately that this was the cause of my issue. I ordered the wash-plate LG Part# AGZ72909711 Pulsator Assembly and immediately called LG Direct Service to try and get a refund of my diagnostic fee because the tech completely misdiagnosed the problem. The LG rep said she would have to defer this case to the service manager for approval and that I would be getting a call within 2 days. No call ever came. In the meantime my wash-plate arrived before the 38mm socket or the clutch assembly so I immediately confirmed that there are ridges on the inside of the hole see pics. I installed the wash plate 2 minutes and the washer has been washing perfectly since. I called LS Direct Service again to definitely get a refund for the diagnostic fee. A new rep took a bunch of more information and said he would have to give this info the the service manager and that I would be getting a call within 2 days. Four days passed and still no call from the LG service manager must be a really busy guy. In frustration I had to call my cc company and open a dispute with LG to try and get a refund for the diagnostic fee. Again love the washer.... but if this is how they deal with customer service my next washer will NOT be an LG.

Great Load Capacity

ld2016 6/15/2022

Multiple washing cycles allows for washung several different fabrics. Tired of paying laundromats to.clean my comforters the load capacity is what sold me. This top loading unit is pretty sleek looking and is quiet when compared to other units. Cleans the clothes very well. On occasion there is a residue that resembles lint that will collect on my dark load which causes me to run it through the rinse cycle again. That would be the only negative Ive experienced.
