Description
3.7 cu. ft. Large Capacity High Efficiency Top Load Washer

With 3.7 cu. ft. of large capacity, this high-efficiency top-load washer is loaded with innovative features to provide a great washing experience. The TrueBalance Anti Vibration System is designed to reduce washer noise and vibrations, while the Electronic Control Panel with LED display and soft-touch buttons help you select the right settings and cycle everytime. Bundle these with the 10 year warranty on its Direct Drive motor, and you can see that this washer is a great choice for both performance and reliability.

More free time
Towers of towels, piles of sweatshirts, and a mountain of jeans? Go for it. The large capacity (3.7 cu. ft.) washer lets you do more laundry in fewer loads. That's time saved and sore backs avoided.

Wash in peace
You shouldn't know your washer is on from the next room. The LG TrueBalance anti-vibration system is designed to reduce washer noise and vibration for smooth, quiet performance in any room of the house - even if it's on another floor.

Get wise
It's unlikely you'll experience any problems with your LG washer, but if you ever do, 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.

So Fresh and So Clean
The TubClean Cycle is designed for easy, periodic maintenance to keep your washer fresh. The cycle uses water jets to clean the wash tub, and high spin speeds to remove excess moisture, helping to keep your high-performing washer in tip-top condition.

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 warranty.

Smarter in many ways
Saving water doesn't mean compromising cleaning power. At least not when you have the SmartRinse Jet Spray System. The tub quickly spins as a powerful water jet sprays into it, forcing the water to penetrate through the clothes for effective rinsing.

Easy as 1,2,3
No need to watch the clock while you wash. EasyDispense takes the guesswork out of doing laundry by allowing you to pour in your detergent, bleach and fabric softener all at once, while releasing them at just the right time.

No Snags
Instead of a bulky, inefficient agitator, this washer has a low-profile, highly-efficient impeller. And both the NeveRust impeller and wash tub are made of durable stainless steel, avoiding nicks that can snag fabrics.

New Jersey's Clean Energy Program recently announced enhanced incentives for residents recovering from Hurricane Sandy. If your home is located in a zip code designated as a "major" or "minor" damaged area impacted by Hurricane Sandy, you may be eligible for the $50 clothes washer rebate even though the rebate is closed to the general public as of December 31, 2012.

Customers seeking the incentive for purchases after January 01, 2013 should submit a hard copy of the application, and also include a certification form. If your home is located outside the eligible zip code list, you may also qualify for the $50 rebate by demonstrating that you have experienced damage caused by Hurricane Sandy (to be evaluated on a case by case basis).

Product Reviews
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 407 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Loving my new LG! We hadn't been in need of a washer for years, so when we started researching I knew we wanted to save money and energy. We knew about HE but I was skeptical, not knowing if they would work as well as they say. Not a fan of the front loaders, but open to checking out others. We were about to purchase a different HE with an aggitator when we saw the HE LG! Top Loader. Not much more in price than the one we were about to purchase, and I liked the technology and features I saw. Capacity bigger and no middle aggitator. It's always a risk when you purchase a big appliance. We were very impressed with the information we were given at the time of purchase and thought it would be a good washer. Well, it's a GREAT washer! We've had it over a month and have not had one issue with it. It was hard at first to get use to the fact that it measures the water per the weight of clothes, I was thinking, they'll never get cleaned. Not, so, it knows and it does a great job. Clothes are clean and it spins the water out beautifully. No more LONG drying sessions. I have done light to heavy duty clothes and they all come out VERY CLEAN! The thing I had to get use to is very LITTLE detergent. Love that, such savings. I would recommend this washer to anyone who asks! Thanks LG! Oh, and it plays you a little song to let you know when it's done! 1/27/12
Rated 1 out of 5 by DON'T BUY THIS WASHER This washer and dryer has the disadvantage of having downward slooping tops. The next problem is the drainage system leaves water standing in the laundry detergent tray and standing water at the bleach dispenser. This is such a pain. I am going to buy a much better washer. Enough of this poorly designed machine. 5/4/13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ease of use and great features My machine was delivered, set up and ready to use in a matter of minutes and use it I did. Simple and easy to understand. Wash came out great! Would recommend to anyone looking for new washer. 4/24/13
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great washer, but not for cloth diapering We are happy with our washer purchase, and would definitely buy a similar model again. My favorite feature is time delay. I do periodically have some snaps/tanktop straps/drawstrings that get caught on something and VERY twisted by cycle end. It happens infrequently enough that I don't mind untangling, but now I always make sure my snaps are snapped together. We've noticed a decrease in our utility bill since our purchase, and we are generally happy with the cleanliness of our clothes. We have an infant at home, and started to cloth diaper. I am sad that we didn't investigate a washer with a water level adjustment prior to purchasing. The efficiency is so great that we can't quite get our diapers to wash as easy as they should due to the lack of water in the cycles. We can trick the machine to give it extra water, but cloth diapering is tough enough, why the extra work?! 4/22/13
