LG makes a couple of similar models, the WM3700H, which is missing some useful features but costs less, as well as the WM4370H, which has a different door and control-panel design. The WM4000H and its matching dryers (available in electric or gas) are stackable-in fact, you can stack any 27-inch LG dryer (new or old) on top of the WM4000H. The big downsides to the LG washer and dryer are that the control panels are hard to use in dim lighting, and LG’s customer service stinks, so in the unlikely event that you need a repair under warranty, it might be a hassle. (They still won’t last as long as your parents’ old Maytag, though.) The matching LG DLEX4000 dryer runs with an ineffective energy saver mode on by default, but that option is easily switched off. Reliability is tough to predict, but in recent years, LG front-loaders have proved to have some of the lowest repair rates among mainstream washers, according to multiple sources. It even has a unique door-prop feature to help prevent the dreaded mildew smell. Like most front-load washers, the WM4000H has a huge capacity, runs quietly, and is very efficient with water and energy. The WM4000H can wash a typical load almost twice as fast as a typical high-efficiency washer, and it has one of the widest varieties of wash settings, including a stain-loosening prewash option, super-hot temps, and extra rinses.
Although we didn’t test this specific model, we did test the nearly identical WM3900H, which was better at removing all types of stains than almost any other washer we tested, while also handling fabrics more gently.

Our office is still closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we plan to test the LG WM4000H, LG WT7305C, GE GFW650, and the Maytag MVW6230 once it reopens and update the guide accordingly. Unfortunately, we haven’t found a straightforward solution for this specific issue. These types of circuit protection are common in newer homes, and if your washer isn’t working as expected, this could be one reason why. We’ve also noted in the guide that some washers may have a tendency to trip GFCI and AFCI outlets and breakers. Many reviewers note that the new washer cleans well, and has ample capacity, and they also like how connecting the washer to the app via Wifi allows them to see how much time is left in the cycle and to receive a notification when the cycle finishes (note that some people found it difficult to connect the LG to their Wifi.) The most common complaint regarding the 4000H is it’s louder than people wanted. Like the WM3900H, the WM4000H (so far) has received positive reviews. We have not tested the WM4000H, but there are no mechanical differences between this model and the WM3900H, our previous top pick-just changes in some supplemental wash programs and wash options. LG phased out the WM3900H and replaced it with the WM4000H, which we have made our top pick.
