"Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Top-Load Washers"


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


Laundry At the Speed of Life

LG's enhanced TurboWash® technology. Powerful high-pressure nozzles save 20 minutes per load, cutting wash time by half-without shortcutting cleaning performance, even on larger loads. That's not just laundry done fast-it's laundry at the speed of life.


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.


All the right moves

Get your clothes clean and experience a smarter way to wash with our innovative 6Motion technology. Each wash cycle combines up to 6 different wash motions to provide a revolutionary cleaning experience.


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.


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.

Good not great

Bhen5155 9/12/2022

I bought this washer about 6 years ago and had no issues. Around 6 years motor went out. 10 year motor warranty is good for the price of the motor only not to have an authorized tech diagnose it or replace it.

Washer died and only 5 years old

Gary Garretson 9/2/2022

Chimes on but no light display and unable to select cycles. Done all the unplugging and rebooting. Nothing works. Now have to pay a service call diagnostic fee and Gullah a new part most likely a circuit board or similar. Im not a happy person. I thought LG was a very excellent brand.

Ive had the unit for less than 4-5 years only used in a household with two people for 7 months per year and it continually leaks water into the tub when the washer is not in use. Im thinking the water inlet valve may be leaking/is faulty. I called the customer support line to help diagnose and they were useless. I also asked for a local LG repair person that did not work out either. So I still have a washer that continues to leak.
