Features
4.3 cu. ft. Ultra Large Capacity Bring on your big loads of towels or jeans—this ultra large washer fits more in every load to save time.
TurboDrum Technology TurboDrum Technology simulates the agitator effect of traditional top load washers. The LG Direct Drive Motor rotates independently from the tub mechanism, so they spin in different directions to create a powerful water flow, for a complete but gentler clean.
6Motion Technology Based on the cycle you select, LG 6Motion technology uses up to 6 different wash motions, each designed to get clothes cleaner and help them last longer. Options range from a scrubbing PowerMotion that helps to dissolve stains to the gentle Swinging motion that’s ideal for delicates.
SmartDiagnosis If you ever experience an issue with your LG washer or dryer, 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.¹
Water Plus LG top load washers use precise wash motions to ensure clothes move efficiently through the detergent and water mix and come out ultra-clean, all while saving energy and money. But if you decide you want to add extra water to the occasional load, LG gives you the option to get your (deep) fill. Press Water Plus at the start of any cycle to select the maximum water level.
Cycle already started? Just hit Pause, Water Plus and then Start. Another plus—the one-time setting will automatically switch back to high-efficiency water levels the next time you’re ready to wash.
NeveRust Stainless Steel Tub Unlike tubs made from porcelain or plastic, the LG NeveRust Stainless Steel Tub avoids the chips and nicks that can snag fabrics and ruin clothing.
Direct Drive Motor 10-Year Limited Warranty 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.
SlamProof Glass Lid Enjoy the convenience of a clear lid that allows you to watch your washer in action, uninterrupted. And the convenient SlamProof Lid automatically closes and firmly holds itself at certain angles, thanks to our smooth-operating hydraulic hinge.
True Balance Anti-Vibration System and LoDecibel Quiet Operation 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.
SpeedWash Cycle Let's face it: Sometimes, you just don't have time to wait for a standard wash cycle. When you're in a rush, LG's SpeedWash Cycle gets small lightly soiled loads refreshed in just 15 minutes.
Requires fill hose (not included) for standard hook-up upon delivery.

Researched & found that; despite complaints of out-of-warranty rotor, sensor, & suspension issues; LG is still rated as the most reliable washer in CR magazine & at online shopping sites. Needed to replace an 11-year old LG WT1100CW that was a year out of warranty & having multiple UnEven load issues. So I went for another LG washer & purchased this model WT6100CW. Purchased from Best Buy and paid for delivery only. The delivery crew was quick, neat, & professional. Installed the washer myself. Have installed multiple washers & dryers over the past 40+ years -- so one level, 3 hoses, and a plug were no challenge. HOWEVER, the LG Owner Manual [print, pdf, & online] does NOT correctly describe how to run the "Installation Check" test cycle for the WT6100. Tried to follow the directions on page 15 multiple times & nothing happened. 1st, called to LG Customer Service & encountered a customer service rep who politely read to me from another [old & outdated?] manual & told me to go straight to Operation section [page 16] & to select the Normal cycle and add a half amount of the detergent, then start the appliance without clothes. When I insisted that this solution was not a substitute for the "Installation Check" test cycle & that it might be that the install check firmware had been changed but not documented she politely told me that LG could not send a service tech to verify proper "Installation Check" software operation because the washer was not yet "installed" saying Best Buy did not perform the install. (No BB install, no warranty?) Using this logic I've never really installed any of my prior washers [Sears, Maytag, & LG WT1100] because I did the install & hook-ups myself. "Lucky" that I never had a warranty issue with any of those appliances. Eventually after 40 minutes if this polite but useless back & forth I hung up. LG customer service reps need to be better trained & their manuals need to be up-to-date. 2nd, I called Best Buy told them what LG had told me & luckily the BB rep offered to send out a service tech for free to check the unit & reminded me that I could return, replace, or exchange the washer within 15 days of purchase. 3rd, I downloaded the LG ThinQ app & ran that diagnostic which reported everything OK [screenshot attached]. 4trh, yesterday I spent an hour online & found a You-Tube video describing a similar "Installation Check" problem with an LG WT7xxx model & finally got my unit to perform "Installation Test". Result = no flashing LEDs = Installation OK. (Are you confused yet? I am.) Finally, today I followed the 'Operation - Before Use' instructions on page 16, then ran normal, delicate & speed washes, & re-ran the LG ThinQ diagnostic which again reported everything OK. Bottom Line = Liked Goldstar/LG appliances [+4 stars], don't like poorly written manuals [-1 star], & hate LG customer service [-2 stars] = 1 star. So, now...Do I call & cancel the free BestBuy service visit? Do I send back an apparently good washer just because there was a firmware change on the washer that was not properly updated in the LG Owner Manual? Do I avoid wasting anymore time & just keep the thing; gambling that it will last longer than 11 years? Do I give it 1 star today & then add another star for every five years that it continues to run properly? More questions than answers.

5 Great so far !!!
Posted by Carl Schneider on Oct 5th 2024
I have only had this washer for about a month now , but so far it has worked great. The price ($250 off) was too good to pass up. It is very quiet and the tub size is large enough to easily wash my king size comforter. Like I said, I have only had this for a short time , so time will tell.

5 Great Washer for the Proise
Posted by Jeremy Smith on Oct 2nd 2024
This is a surprisingly well made washer for the money. It may be smaller than our former (now dead) and more expensive washer but it makes up for it in its quiet efficient performance. Plus the buying experience could not have been more pleasant and the installers were extremely professional.

5 Fits the big stuff
Posted by Robert Andrews on Oct 1st 2024
LOVE my new washer! It’s much quieter than my old agitator type washer. I can fit the futon cover in with no problem and it gets clean. I like that it determines how large the load is and therefore how much water needed.

5 LG WASHING MACHINE
Posted by Marcus Bray on Oct 1st 2024
Besides being big and beautiful, What I love most about this machine is the rinse cycle, and the music at the end when the load is done.

5 An awesome washer!
Posted by Sherry Moyer on Sep 24th 2024
This washer is extremely easy to use and has an incredibly large capacity for it's size. It also has a power off feature which ensures no energy is drawn while not in use. The glass top is a nice feature that will have you entranced as you watch it do it's thing.
