LG Washer - How to Use the Steam Cycle

  • Troubleshooting

At a Glance

The steam function is an option that uses steam to soak a heavy-duty load for a cleaner laundry wash. Since a small amount of water is supplied and steam is produced by heating the water at the bottom of the tub, the total wash time is increased. After heating, water is added up to the initially set water level and washing will proceed. It is more effective if you use with the Hygiene 40℃ and Sterilize 60℃ cycles.

Wait! Find out more.
Do not use the steam cycle on temperature-sensitive laundry such as wool, silk, and leather as it may damage the clothing.
The heating time will be longer if only the cold water hose is connected, so it is recommended to connect both the cold and hot water hoses.

Try This

Select steam

Press on the Steam option to select it.
When Steam is selected the button will light up.
You can choose from Standard, Rinse, or Hygiene 40℃ cycle. (It is automatically selected with the Sterilize 60℃ cycle.)

Is steam not visible?
If you select the Steam option, it supplies a small amount of water that is heated by the heater in the bottom of the washer, which then generates steam.
Steam may not be visible because it is being generated at the bottom with the lid closed.
※ Washer tub does not rotate during heating.
This is normal operation for generating steam, so do not be alarmed.
