Choosing the Proper Location

Install the washer on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer. even when fully loaded. without flexing or bouncing.
If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid. it may cause severe vibration and noise.

NOTE

  • Before installing the washer. make sure the floor is clean. dry and free of dust. dirt. water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.
  • If a drip pan must be used. take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.
  • Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washer for installation.

Power Outlet

  • The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
  • The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
  • Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
  • The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
  • Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

NOTE

  • It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by qualified service personnel.

Flooring

  • To minimize noise and vibration, the washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
  • Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum 1 inch (2.5 cm) difference from side to side or from front to back.
  • Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.
  • Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

NOTE: The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient. provided it is built to FHA standards.

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines. the drain line and airflow. allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall. door. or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Stacked or Pedestal Installation

NOTE

  • Refer to the instructions packaged with the optional pedestal kit before installing with a pedestal kit.
  • Do not use a drip pan with a pedestal or pedestal washer installation as it can block the drawer. Using a drip pan may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

Unpacking and Removing Shipping Bolts

Unpack all shipping materials from the washer for proper operation and inspect it for shipping damage.

CAUTION Failure to remove shipping materials can cause excessive noise and vibration.

  1. Lift the washer off the foam base. After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the washer off the foam base. Make sure the plastic tub support comes off with the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the washer.
    • If you must lay the washer down to remove the base packaging materials, always protect the side of the washer and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay the washer on its front or back.
  2. Remove the bolt assemblies.
    • Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out.
  3. Install the hole caps.
    • Locate the four hole caps included in the accessory pack and install them in the shipping bolt holes.

NOTE

  • Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, do not transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping bolts.
  • Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.

Connecting the Water Lines

To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase and install new inlet hoses when installing the washer.

  1. Check the fittings and seals.

    • Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking.

  2. Connect the water supply hoses.

    • Connect the water supply hoses to the hot and cold water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Connect the blue hose to a cold water faucet and the red hose to a hot water faucet.

  3. Flush out the inlet hoses.

    • After connecting the inlet hoses to the water faucets. turn on the water faucets to flush out foreign substances (dirt. sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket. and check the water temperature to make sure you've connected the hoses to the correct faucets.

  4. Attach the water lines to the back of the washer.

    • Attach the hot water line to the hot water inlet on the back of the washer. Attach the cold water line to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer. Tighten the fittings securely. Turn ON both faucets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses

WARNING:

  • Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in leaking and property damage.
  • Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage. Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses.

NOTE:

  • Periodically check the hoses for cracks. leaks. and wear. and replace the hoses every five years. Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally. and make sure that they are not pinched. crushed or kinked by other objects.

  • Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138 — 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi. a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

  • To provide optimum washing performance. the hot water temperature should be set at 120 — 130 °F (48 — 54 °C) and the cold at 60 °F (15 °C).

  • The washer should never be installed or stored in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation. allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to operation.

  • Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped during fill and prevent the machine from filling properly.

Connecting the Drain Hose

Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub.

NOTE:

  • The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage.
  • The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations
  • Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
  • Do not install the drain hose with the end lower than 29.5 inches (0.7 m) or higher than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60 inches (1.5 m) away from the washer.
  • Never create an airtight seal between the hose and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.

Option 1: Standpipe

  1. Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.
    • Connect the elbow bracket within 4 inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.
  2. Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe
  3. Use a tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

Option 2: Laundry Tub

  1. Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.
    • Connect the elbow bracket within 4 inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.
  2. Hang the end of the drain hose over the side of the laundry tub.
  3. Use a tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

Leveling the Washer

The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a level, solid surface.

NOTE:

  • Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.
  • Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.
  1. Position the washer in its final location.
    • Take special care not to pinch. strain. or crush the water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter's level. you can place it across the top of the washer. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch. and all four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.
  2. Adjust the lower leveling feet.
    • Turn in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it.
  3. Tighten the locknuts.
    • Turn the locknuts counter-clockwise and tighten them when the washer is level.
  4. Recheck the washer’s levelness.
    • Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, repeat steps 1-3.

CAUTION:

  • Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a machine malfunction.
  • Extend the leveling feet only to level the washer. If you extend the leveling feet unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration of the washer.

Using Non-Skid Pads

If you install the washer on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non-skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

  1. Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
    • Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains. the non-skid pads may slip.
  2. Adjust the level after placing the washer in the installation area.
  3. Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the floor
    • It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the front leveling feet. If it is hard to place the pads under the front leveling feet. place them under the back leveling feet.
  4. Recheck the washer’s levelness
    • Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure that the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks. level the washer again.

Connecting to the Power Supply

The washer should be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60 Hz grounded 3-prong outlet. Plug in the washer.
