how do I make the LG machine washer front load take more water?

I am not quite sure I understand the question. Generally speaking my answer to ANY question pertaining to this model is A) RETURN IT NOW!!!! If it is less than 30 days old, or whatever window from the place of purchase. I wish dearly someone had given me that advice when I made the HORRID mistake of purchasing this worthless machine. B) Buy another washing machine that is NOT LG. I had to buy a GE about 6 months after I purchased this model BRAND NEW. but FINALLY i have clean clothes!!!! When I was using this NIGHTMARE machine, I would have to set it on "Bulky bedding" setting in order to get enough water in the drum to actually get the clothes wet enough to get clean. So yes, you have to set it to "bulky / bedding", stand over the machine for however long it takes to fill, then pause it, power off, then power back on and then chose the appropriate wash setting. WAY TO GO LG!!!!!!!! Congratulations on making the WORST most useless washing machine EVER!!!!

I also have a front loading HE washer. The soap nuts work great in it. You do need to use warm water, if using cold, soak the soap nuts in warm water first to activate them.

I believe there is (although I didn't need a new dryer). LG's washing machines seem to start with WM, and their dryers start with DLE. So DLE2650 would be the mate to this washing machine.

I believe I used the TC1 and installed it under the kitchen sink hooked to my LG dishwasher water line. The dishwasher would cause a water hammer when it cycled. That fixed my problem. Good Luck!

There's a water tank in the rear of the machine, just lift it out and fill with water and solution.Hope that helps.

I turn mines inside out and hand wash it in the tub with soap and water and let it hang dry. I'm sure you can probably do the washer machine as well, but that's the way I prefer to do it.

I have a large front loader as well. For a full load I use a slightly heaped scoop and about a quarter scoop in the pre wash compartment. It has always worked well for me!

I am not sure mine is a front loader....wm2487h. When we went to the dealer he told us that lg only had this filter. I ordered them and they worked fine. The thing you have to know is these are plastic so be careful when you put them in. Be sure they are lined up properly or the threads will strip much easier than the old metal ones

First thing I'd try to end the siphoning is to elevate the washer's drain hose. If the washer's drain hose is shoved deep into your home drain pipe, pull most of the drain hose out of the drain pipe and anchor it in that position. The added height should correct the problem.

If you haven't used a front loader before, you may be surprised at how little water it uses. Just trust the results. If you have a bulky load (like a comforter) you can use the "bulky" cycle, which uses a little more water.

replace the washer in the faucet. shut off water, unscrew faucet, take old washer to home depot, get a new one, replace old one...also try tightening the spigot washer/collar.

The more I hear about the new high efficiency washers, the more I love my Speed Queen. Yes, the tub of my washer fills with lots of water, lots and lots of water. AND, if you want to add even more, you just turn the dial. Novel concept.

Everyone is used to water going to the top of the basket on the old machines. The new design, and to meet the new regulations, only allows water to fill half way up the basket. If you don't overfill with clothing, you can't stuff the machines like in the old washers, it works reasonably well .

Alan, what I did was tip the washing, then have someone place the two pads down. Slowly lower until washing machine rests on pads. I hope this helps!

I don't know, the LG was the most problem prone washer I've ever owned. after a year of problems LG took it back and gave me a new one which I never uncrated- took it back to home depot and got a maytag front loader. sorry I couldn't be more help. the difference between 4.5 and 4.7 is only .2 cu ft, about the size of a 9x12 baking pan.

I add about 2/3 of the included measuring cup to the load after adding the detergent. I also use a second rinse for bedding.
