LG WTG6532W / WTG7532W / WTG8532WH / WTG9532WH / WTG9532VH Questions & Answers

Looks like alot of people with this 8.5kg model are reporting a lint problem. I guess it is not scrud (which is caused by soap powder build up with cold washes). Scrud can get on clothes. I always warm wash to prevent scrud. If it is lint then I guess if the machine is not working in this dept. Only way is to wash lint type items together e.g. towels and other items separately. I have had a terrible run with several LG WTG7532W (7.5kg). No lint problem but repeat DE faults on lid caused by either the magnets or hinges. No help at all from LG. call centre.. They do not care about their customers or faulty products at all.

Sounds like your filter at the bottom at the back of the machine. Suspect that could be full, in is further in the outlet pipe I think from memory. Needs cleaning that might solve it??

na. no lint filter on this model of machine. talk about lucky.

Hi Kristine, yes it does. Should be on the barrel on the inside on the side somewhere. Don’t know how to explain it sorry. But that where mine is. You have to like pop it open.

Hi, mine is a stainless steel inside but theres nothing else on the side. Just the drum.

no lint filter, hence I posted about dirty washing, impossible to get clean sheets, the lint sticks to the sheets and gets in the creasers, the sheets come out dirtier than when you put them in. Of course you can do a drum clean of two, which uses up 3+ hours of electricity, not good for reducing our carbon foot print. I asked about the lint filter at the time or purchase and was told the machine doesn't need it as it washes all the lint away, which is absolutely not true.

Ooh,no sorry. The only thing I can think of maybe its adding time according to the load? You may have to contact LG. I have always found them to be really helpful.

Thanks, I did that but all their call centre (Philippines, I think) did was refer me to one of their authorised repairers - $110 for the visit and $22 per 10 minute period for labour plus parts. No advice without a service visit I'm afraid.

Sorry but I cant answer that one! Maybe email LG? Im sure they would help

Hi, I think it depends on what wash setting you have it on,it doesnt work with all of them. I know to use it by itself you just press the spin button until it gets to the one you want and then press start... I know you cant use it on delicates or quick wash,the others Im not sure,will have a look at mine later and let you know!

Hi Elaine, just hold it for 3 seconds and it will come up. You can choose the time but I've never actually tried it.

I have never had a problem like that with either of our LG machines. Could it be fabric softener? I was getting a bit of build up in my front loader (Electrolux) and I have just switched to using vinegar instead and its fixed the problem,,it works just as well,its far cheaper and it cleans the machine as well! I know if you wash in cold water the fabric softener goes thick and gunky, especially in a front loader. Otherwise it could be too much detergent? Have you tried a tub clean?

I stopped using fabric softener ages ago,The scud on clothes started happening not long after I bought the machine

P.as I have done several tub cleans

Hi,I think its down on the side of the drum? My 14kg model doesnt have one,its self cleaning but Im pretty sure this one does,will ask my mum to double check...

Hi again, sorry,this machine doesnt have a lint filter,its self cleaning so you dont have to worry!

Im not sure sorry,maybe just google some different brands?

yes check with the store

I have not attempted to remove the lid for cleaning. I use a soft cloth to run along the hinged area which is a difficult area to clean. I had the message again today when washing that the lid wasn't closing properly however my usual clean fixed it up.

Remember to be careful as any dismantling may make the warranty null and void

Sorry I can't help with that question. It is a different machine to mine I believe and I just turn my machine on and let it do its thing.

Same here. It seems that is the way it works. A bit stays up in the tray and when the machine is started the water washes the rest in. I suspect you can just add it directly. The softener is a different story. It comes in at a point in the cycle.

I use liquid detergent for clothes and yes it leaks through the detergent dispenser but it has not been a problem. When the water comes through all the detergent disappears. I do not use a full cap of detergent, maybe only three quarters.

Check your manual

Wouldn’t that depend on how much you use it?

I have pets and regularly have to remove lint buildup. At back of machine, at the base is the hose connection for water going out. Empty tub then undo clip and remove hose. Some water will still empty onto floor. Remove lint from just inside...will often come out with water. If lint builds up machine won't work.
