LG WD-3274RHD is a fully automatic washing machine with a range of features to make laundry day easier. It has an intelligent wash system that detects the load size and water temperature to optimize water and energy consumption. The direct drive system ensures quiet operation and minimizes vibration. The child-lock system prevents children from changing the program during operation. With a low noise speed control system, it evenly distributes the load to reduce spinning noise. If there's a power failure, the auto restart feature will resume the cycle from where it stopped.

• The drawer
recess
Detergent can also accumulate insidethe recess which should be cleaned occasionally with an old toothbrush.
• Once you have finished cleaning, replace the drawer and run a rinse cycle without laundry.
• The washing drum
• If you live in a hard water area, limescale may continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen and thus not easily removed.
Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these may have to be replaced.
• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum.
• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
Descaler may contain chemicals that may damage part of your washing machine.
Remove any spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
Never use steel wool.
