How To Use LG Top Load Washing Machine WT7300 and others - Getting Started + Cycles

How To Use LG Top Load Washing Machine WT7300 WT7250, WT7400 and others... This video will demonstrate how to get started and select cycles for better performance with this clothes washer. It's been 5 years since I reviewed this LG top load washing machine and I've received so many comments, questions, and requests for the cheat sheet, that I figured I should make another video (sorry it's taken so long). This video, which may be the first in a series (assuming folks "LIKE" and watch), will provide answers to commonly asked questions as well as share much of the information included on the cheat sheet. If you have recommendations on laundry videos that you or others might find helpful, let me know in the comments and I'll try to make them in between doing laundry. :)

I miss old washers when I didn’t need a YouTube video to figure out the piece of crap. Atleast it has 100 different modes that will never be used.

The more videos I watch of this washing machine the last I'm impressed

I recently purchased an LG #WT6105CW Washer & Dryer set. It's been sitting there because even with the instruction pamplet I still felt totally confused. But, then I discovered your video and I am so thankful for your demo and all the info you shared in how to operate the washing machine and set various cycle settings for best performance! Now I can finally and confidently wash my clothes with joy!!! :)

[juliejackson]

Thank you. This is so helpful. It would have taken me many, many trials, tests and rewashes to figure out the best combination of options. I was experiencing buyer's remorse but have since discovered this is a great washer. Spin cycle is fabulous. Stay away from Normal!

Owned LG for years before finding this. Godsend. Hope you come out with simple op chart for this. Finally figured out how to use this convoluted washing machine.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. We just upgraded from a very very old Whirlpool that bit the dust. I was overwhelmed at all of the options so I really appreciate the breakdown!! Thank you!!

I have a new LG washer with an agitator, but your advice about what cycles to choose has really helped me so much. I tried washing an average load on normal and it looked like to me that there was not enough water in the tub. Next time I'm using the fast cyles as my clothes don't usually get very dirty. Thanks so much !!!

I was so disappointed with the new washer until I found this video. Thank you!

This was super helpful - much better than reading the manual. Thank you

OutSTANDING video!!! Thank you SOOO much for taking the time to make this video! Insanely helpful! 🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼

This is fantastic, thank you for this video. I got the WT7400C and it's dryer version for $1417 after taxes thanks to deals, but was concerned with some of the reviews complaining about "low water levels" Seeing your suggestion about the heavy duty + turbo wash puts my mind at ease, as I didn't want to just use the "deep fill" every single time. Seeing it actually in action puts my mind at ease! This is literally the only video on this model I can find that gives this kind of a rundown.

I've had this washer for about 4 years and today learned how to use it. Thank you!

[patmason]

Just bought the LG washer after our whirlpool died. Alot of options thanks for the tutorial. 👍

[tiffanymitchell]

I’ve had this washer for three years I was ready to toss it because I didn’t know how to use it. It never washed my kids sports clothes good and I used the bedding cycle. Thanks for this video!

[jumpinjupiter]

I have never seen a washer that is impossible to figure out how to use without a video. Thank you so much! I bought it to replace my old LG and get the large capacity.

[ckdnkmu]

We found your video very helpful. We been using our LG for probably 3 years, but have never been thrilled with its performance. Your tip to use the "heavy duty" wash with "turbo cycle" seems just right for just about all loads. Thanks Again !!

[byvanessas]

Thank you so much for this video. I just bought this machine a few weeks ago and I was about to return it because I didn't think it was actually washing my clothes. Turbo Wash is what I need to start using when I wash now. Thanks for the tip!

[vikasthakurus]

This is a fantastic video. I just ordered a new LG 7900 washer that should be arriving shortly. I am looking forward to trying out your tips and tricks on the new machine. Your video will certainly help accelerate me through the learning curve. My 25 year old Kitchen Aid died this week (RIP 2023) and I hope the LG is a good replacement.

Very good info that you pointed out. Just got a LG returned a new Maytag. LG is top-of-the-line. Compared to Maytag. Just wanted to point out. The normal cycle is useless on the LG might as well not use any water ridiculous water level. I always use deep cycle. Thanks again.

I purchased this washer model last year. Thanks for explaining the various cycles and how best to use them. I had been using the bedding cycle for one set of sheets, and it used way too much water. I will now use the speed wash cycle going forward thanks to your helpful and informative video.
