Wash cycle will not put bleach in and skips rinse cycle and does not spin to dry

The amount of creasing you will get is directly related to the speed you select for the final spin dry cycle and the spin after the first wash cycle which occurs prior to the rinse cycle. The higher the speed and the longer it goes for the more the clothes will crease.

Experiment with different spin speeds on your machine for clothing that is subject to the creasing problem. Also do not put too many items in the machine for a wash as many people do as this will contribute to creasing. Always under load your machine for every wash cycle.

Spin drying is a compromise between creasing and maximum water removal. If you want less creasing you will need to select a more gentle spin dry speed but you will also have the clothes coming out of the machine with a higher water content and they will take a bit longer to dry. The spin time on the program may also be shorter.

In my own machines I use a gentle wash and spin cycle for all clothing that I don't want heavily creased. Running it on a wash cycle with a high and longer spin speed when the machine is spinning the clothes after the initial wash, and then again after the final rinse, will thoroughly crease the clothes every time.

Also bear in mind that different fabrics that are suitable for machine washing will perform differently and some are just too subject to creasing even if you use the most gentle wash, rinse and spin cycle. Hence you can take 2 different 100% cotton fabrics out of a machine and hang them to dry and one will be almost crease free and the other will be thoroughly creased. With these fabrics that are just very subject to wash creasing, it is better to hand wash and rinse them. Then after rinsing drip dry them or put them in the machine and spin them for 1 -2 minutes maximum just to get some of the water out and hang dry them.

I would look at lid switch on this model and plunger to lid .Under lid is spray flume that can be damaged by large loads ,check that close. put it in wash full and drop lid hard it may come on.

Check the screen and the inlet to the pump in the bottom of the washer if it does not empty the water from the wash cycle completely it may not go to the rinse cycle.

You should wash your futon cover separately from other items. You need to ensure there is room in the machine for it. Avoid using detergents containing bleach. Wash the cover using the cold wash/cold rinse cycle (unless label inscription suggests otherwise). After the wash cycle is complete, you can put the cover in the dryer and tumble dry on a low-heat setting. I like to remove the cover halfway through the drying cycle to flip it to ensure that it dries evenly.

Never heard of Bleach being used in wash cycle ! Are you putting the Bleach in the correct dispenser .

If the model number is correct, to run a "Clean" cycle on this model washer you need to follow these steps:

1. Make sure wash tub is empty and close the door.

2. Open the dispenser drawer and remove the plastic divider in the MAIN DETERGENT compartment.

3. Select the following options:

a. Select the POWER button.
b. Select RINSE/SPIN.
c. Select LOW SPEED SPIN.
d. Select WARM/COLD water temperature.
e. Select END OF CYCLE SIGNAL to SOFTER.
f. Press EXTRA RINSE button 4 times within 5 seconds and the
will begin.

4. The washer will run a short sensing cycle for about 3 minutes.

5. The washer will beep 4 times and a code will appear on the front panel display.

a. If "Ab" (Add Bleach) appears - skip to step 6.
b. If "Rl" (Remove Load) appears - the door will unlock and you
need to double check the wash tub for any items. Close the
door when complete and press the START button.

6. Add bleach. If this is the first time running the clean cycle add ONE CUP of bleach to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer. If this is a monthly routine, add only 1/3 CUP of bleach.

Got a Brand new LG ~ WT5001CW toploader today. I did 2 loads of wash. Theres a Bleach Dispenser on the top left side but I didn't use it. In the middle of my 2nd wash I noticed the bleach dispenser was full of water. I thought well maybe after the rinse and the spin it would take the water out. Well when the cycle was complete the Bleach Dispenser was still full of water.
I took the Bleach dispenser out and checked the holes to see if anything was plugged, didn't look like it. Was wondering if anyone knew how to solve this problem or do you think that since I took the bleach dispenser out and put it back it that it might work for my next load ??
Any opinions will be greatly appreciated !! Thanks Much !!

As far as I am aware, there IS NO dispenser for bleach, you have to put bleach in drum before adding clothes and starting cycle. The far right compartment is only for "pre-wash" cycles, and if no pre-wash is selected, water will run through ALL compartments at the rinse stage..... Oshie

Check the filter is not blocked it sounds as if it cannot drain in the time allowd at end of wash cycle. Regards Advisor
