Frequently Asked Questions - WP-8003 LG

How do I properly earth the washing machine?

Connect the provided earth wire to a metal water pipe or an earth copper plate buried at least 75 cm deep. Never connect to gas pipes or lightning arresters. If using a two-prong plug, earthing is essential to prevent electric shock.

Why does the spin dryer basket vibrate excessively?

Excessive vibration is usually due to unevenly distributed laundry. Open the spin dryer cover, rearrange the clothes evenly, and close the cover. If vibration persists, check that the machine is on a level floor.

What should I do if water does not enter the washer?

Check if the water faucet is open and not frozen. Ensure the water selector is set correctly (WASH for washing rinse). Also inspect the inlet hose for kinks or blockages.

How do I clean the overflow filter?

Lift the overflow filter from the wash tub, remove the rotation filter-C if needed, turn the net over and rinse with water. Use a brush to remove lint. Reinsert the filters securely.

Can I use hot water for washing?

Avoid using hot water above 50°C, as it may deform plastic parts or cause malfunction. Cold water is recommended for most fabrics.

What is the maximum spin time?

The spin timer can be set up to 5 minutes. Do not rotate the knob beyond the prescribed limit to avoid damage.

How do I select the appropriate wash time?

Refer to the weight guide and wash tables in the manual. For lightly soiled synthetics, 2-5 minutes; for heavily soiled cotton, up to 15 minutes. Adjust water level and detergent amount accordingly.

What does the soak function do?

The soak function (available on select models) allows clothes to soak in detergent water for better dirt removal. The machine operates for 1.5 minutes then pauses for 5 minutes, repeating for the selected soak time (15-40 min). Then it proceeds to washing.

Why is the spin dryer basket not spinning?

First, ensure the spin dryer cover is closed. Check if any clothing is trapped between the basket and the tub. Also verify that the spin timer is set.

How do I remove an object stuck in the pulsator?

Remove the pulsator cap using a flat-head screwdriver, loosen the center screw, lift the pulsator straight up, remove the object, then reassemble.

Wash Timer (Only for WP-9033/951S/1021S/1221S/9526S/9256 exists with soak option)

Wash Timer

The wash timer can be used for SOAK, WASH and RINSE operations. Following combinations can be selected.

a) Soak + Wash : Select the desired soak time by setting the timer between 15\~40 min. Then total wash time will be selected soak time + 15 min. of wash time.

Washing will take place for the set period, then machine stops automatically.

Soak Function

a) Soaking is provided for better cleaning of clothes as detergent water goes to inner pores of clothes resulting dirt removal in better way.
b) Soak time by default will be 25 min. so total time of cycle will be Soak + Wash time (25 min. + wash time)
c) In soak option, machine operates for 1.5 min. & remains off for 5 min. This cycle continues for selected soak time.

INSTALLATION

Installation area

• Select flat and firm floor.
• Incorrect installation may cause severe noise and break down.

- Maintain more than 10 cm gap between the side of drain hose and the wall.

- The base openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.

Drain Hose Installation

- Drain Hose is installed at back side of the washing machine.

- Don't remove Drain Hose.

Notes

• Be sure to re-route the hose so that it is not kinked or has sharp bends which will prevent proper drainage.
  ● The level of the drain should be slightly lower than the lowest part of the washing machine in order to ensure proper and complete drainage.
• Use only new hose set provided with the machine.

Connecting the earth wire

● Install the earth wire to prevent short-circuit due to leaking current and electric shock.
- It is attached at the back of the washer. Connect it to the metal water pipe. If the water pipe is made of plastic, it does not have the earth effect.

● Never connect the earth wire to the gas pipe, lightning arrester, telephone connector etc.

★ WARNING : This appliance must be earthed .

Other earthing method

- After connecting the earth wire to the earth copper plate, bury it at least 75 cm deep under the wet ground.

- Connect to the earthing-only outlet.

- When installing it in an area where earthing is not possible, purchase a short-circuit breaker (15mA at operation, 7.5mA at idle) and connect it to the outlet.

Connecting the power plug

• Insert the power plug into the outlet.
• Before connecting the power plug, check if the voltage setting of the machine matches the outlet voltage.
• If AC outlet with ground terminal is used, grounding is not needed. If not, never forget earthing (earthing method above).
