Washing modes in the LG washing machine
LG washing machines have gained very great popularity in our country. They are technically advanced and easy to use. However, in order to use them correctly and get a good washing result, it is necessary to thoroughly study the main and auxiliary modes.
Control Panel
The LG washing machine manual describes the control panel in detail. The instructions for using the LG 5 kg automatic washing machine indicate that the scroll wheel is used to select washing modes, and the buttons next to the digital display are for fine-tuning them.
The LG Direct Drive 6 kg washing machine accepts up to 6 kilograms of laundry. Otherwise, the corresponding fault code will be displayed on the display. The practice of using the LG washing machine instructions says that the user does not know about many useful programs, for example, cold wash 60 with 1000 rpm. It is also activated by selecting the appropriate mode using the scroll wheel.
The remaining functions of the washing machine are also activated via the control panel. If the user does not understand which key activates the function he needs, instructions for the LG washing machine are available on the Internet.
Popular programs
For novice users of LG washing equipment, you should pay attention to the “Cotton” program . This mode is versatile. It can be used for any cotton fabrics. Washing will be done in water heated to 90 degrees. Its duration will be 90-120 minutes.
The operating time for the “Delicate Wash” will be 60 minutes. This is a completely gentle regime. The water will only warm up to 30 degrees. Option suitable for:
The “Wool” mode is useful not only for woolen clothes, but also for regular knitwear. It is also recommended to use it for linen that is marked with the “Hand Wash” sign. The water temperature in the tank will not exceed 40 degrees. There will be no spinning. The laundry processing time will be approximately 60 minutes.
The Casual function is suitable for most synthetic fabrics. The main thing is that the material does not require special delicacy. You can use this function for polyester, nylon, acrylic, polyamide. At a temperature of 40 degrees, things will not have time to fade and will not stretch. You will have to wait 70 minutes for the washing to finish.
The "Mixed Fabrics" mode is present in any LG machine. Only it will usually be called differently - “dark fabrics”. The program involves washing at a temperature of 30 degrees. Such a low temperature is prescribed so that the material does not fade. The total processing time will be from 90 to 110 minutes, depending on the degree of contamination.
Taking care of its clients, the South Korean corporation also offers a special hypoallergenic regime.
It includes an intensive rinse. Due to this effect, dust particles, wool fibers and other allergens are removed. The remaining powder will also be washed out of the fabric. In this mode, you can wash children's clothes and bedding, but provided that the fabric can withstand heating up to 60 degrees.
Recommendations
During the first launch of LG, the following expert advice will be useful:
- The cycle must be started by heating the water.
- If everything went well with the first wash start, then subsequent runs can be carried out using any programs with items loaded into the drum.
You should not try to wash all the things at once - it is better not to tamp the machine down to capacity. This will ensure not only better processing quality, but also protect the nodes from overload.
What other modes are there?
The Duvet program deserves a thumbs up. As the name suggests, it is suitable for bulky bedding. But it can also be used for other large things with fillers. In this mode you can wash a winter jacket, a sofa cover or a large sleeping blanket. You will have to wait exactly 90 minutes for things to be washed at a temperature of 40 degrees.
The silent program will help out when you need to wash at night. It also helps if someone is sleeping at home.
During its operation, not only noise, but also vibration is reduced to a minimum. However, this mode is not suitable for things with medium and heavy soiling. They need to be postponed until a more convenient moment.
The “Sportswear” option deserves attention. It will help you refresh your form after training in various sports. The program will also help with simple physical exercises. It provides excellent washing of membrane fabric. This option is also recommended for refreshing clothes after strenuous physical work in the fresh air.
Many people are interested in which mode to use for shoes. It’s worth considering here that even the best-quality sneakers can’t stand rough handling. Their washing temperature should be up to 40 degrees (ideally 30). The washing time should not exceed ½ hour, and therefore the “Fast 30” program is most often chosen. You will only need to additionally install the “no spin” option.
The “No Crease” mode is designed to simplify subsequent ironing of things. It is often used for shirts and T-shirts. Some items made of synthetics and mixed materials do not need to be ironed additionally; just hang them carefully on a hanger. But such a program will not cope with the processing of cotton and bed linen. As for the “Bubble Wash” mode, it involves removing dirt due to air bubbles, and at the same time increases the efficiency of using the powder.
Let's get ready first
Before you start the first wash, you should inspect the machine to make sure it is completely ready for use. It is important to carefully study the user manual in order to understand the basics of operating the unit, the main cleaning modes, available options and additions.
Incorrect control of the intellect can disrupt the functioning of the main control module of the SMA.
Also, before the initial start, it is recommended:
- Check that the inlet and drain hoses are securely attached. The drain sleeve must be secured with special care. When actively draining waste liquid from the tank, it can jump out of the hole and cause flooding;
- Make sure all shipping bolts have been removed. The purpose of these elements is to ensure the safety of the machine during transportation. The transport bolts must be removed before starting the washing machine. Special plugs supplied with the equipment are inserted into the resulting holes. The number of bolts must be specified in the instructions for the device. Even one bolt remaining inside can cause the machine to quickly fail;
At the end of the inspection, it is necessary to slightly open the valve on the inlet hose. This will ensure the possibility of drawing water from communications. This is the mandatory order of preparatory actions before the initial launch of the SMA.
Useful functions of the washing machine
The special “Pre-wash” function replaces full soaking and manual processing before laying. As a result, overall time is saved significantly. A similar option is already available in all modern automatic cars. Using “Delayed start” , you can set a start time with a shift of 1-24 hours. This will allow, for example, to save on electricity bills by using a night tariff.
LG machines can also weigh laundry. The bottom line is that a special sensor adjusts the washing program to a specific load. Automation may refuse to start the machine if it is overloaded.
Super rinse is another signature feature of LG products. Thanks to it, clothes and linen will be completely cleaned of even small powder residues.
For testing the “Everyday Wash” mode in an LG machine, see below.

Main faults and their interpretation
LG Direct Drive may not function properly from time to time. One of the most common problems with the LG Direct Drive 5 kg washing machine is that the door does not open after washing.
Sometimes this leads to the display of error code OE (water drain does not function). In this case, you need to clean the filter located under the front removable cover at the bottom of the machine.
Lji washing machine 6 kg instructions, however, do not describe another type of malfunction. The washer may leave the door locked even after washing. To correct this, lightly tap the drum with your palm.
Some other malfunctions of the machine CL (notifies that the child lock is turned on, can be turned off by holding two keys for 3-4 seconds), IE (water does not flow into the washing machine, open the water supply tap or clean the clogged mesh of the inlet hose).
How does this mode work?
In order not to start washing immediately, but after a certain time, LG washing machines have a timer mode. It allows you to delay the operation by 3 to 9 hours, and in some modern models even by 19 hours. Very convenient, load your laundry in the evening, set the right time and go to bed peacefully. In the morning, the washing machine will turn on, wash according to the set program, and all that remains is after breakfast to hang out the clean clothes to dry. This mode is very easy to use.
For example, you load laundry in the evening at 23.00, which should be clean by 8.00 in the morning. As a result of simple calculations, we find that everything needs to be completed on time in at least 9 hours. In accordance with the operating instructions, the timer shows the end time of the wash (stage). Therefore, we turn on the function for 9 o’clock, and at 8 am we take clean things out of the drum.

How to set a timer?
Delay is a convenient function; the main thing is to know how to set the timer correctly, otherwise it will be just an unnecessary addition that you never use and don’t understand why it is even needed. The operating algorithm is as follows:
To turn off the timer, simply press the “Power” button again.
Important! Delay values can be set for the entire cycle or for a specific stage. For example, spin, rinse or drain only.
What is smart diagnostics?
LG smart diagnostics or LG Smart Diagnosis is a technology that allows you to independently identify faults.
The smart program can detect up to 80 types of breakdowns . Notifications about problems are sent to your smartphone.
To perform diagnostics, you can install the application on your phone and use it to launch the program. The second option is to call the service center operator and follow his instructions. It will tell you which buttons to press on the panel to run the diagnostic.
Both of these methods allow you to quickly detect a malfunction. Read more here.
Display on machines without a display
In LG washing machines that have a display, the delay is displayed on the screen, but in models without it everything is a little different. On the operating panel in such washing machines there is a scale with lights that allows you to control the operation of the timer and programs. Next to each light bulb, the delay time is indicated in numbers, and the washing processes (stages) are indicated by symbols. After the timer is set, the light next to the selected time begins to blink. If a delay of 9 hours is set, then at first the indicator near the number nine will blink, after 6 hours the indicator above the 6 o’clock will blink, and after another 3 hours, the light next to the number three will blink. Immediately when the program starts, the light lights up uniformly green next to each stage.
Serial number
How to find out the year of manufacture of a washing machine by serial number?
The first number is the year of manufacture, and the 2nd and 3rd are the month. Decoding the serial number of the washing machine:
