Top Features on Modern Washers & Dryers You’re Probably Not Using (But Should Be!)

Let’s face it, laundry isn’t exactly the most exciting part of your week. But what if your washer and dryer could make the job faster, easier, and even a little smarter? The truth is, today’s appliances are packed with features designed to save time, protect your clothes, and simplify your routine… but most people don’t even know they’re there!

Take the LG WM4000HWA Front Load Washer and LG DLEX4000W Front Load Electric Dryer, for example. These sleek, high-performance machines are loaded with advanced features that can completely change the way you do laundry. Let’s dive into the top features you might be missing out on, and why you’ll want to start using them.

Steam Cycles—Not Just for Wrinkles

The LG washer and dryer both offer steam technology, and it’s a total game-changer. On the washer, the TurboWash™ 360° with steam helps power through stains and refresh clothes without harsh chemicals. Meanwhile, the dryer’s SteamFresh™ cycle helps reduce wrinkles and odors, so you can skip the ironing board more often.

Bonus: Steam is also perfect for giving those forgotten-about loads a quick refresh without rewashing.


Sensor Drying—Say Goodbye to Guesswork

Overdrying clothes can wear them out fast, but the LG DLEX4000W Dryer takes care of that with Sensor Dry technology. It automatically detects moisture levels and adjusts drying time, so your clothes come out perfectly dry—no crispy edges or damp towels.

Perk: You’ll save energy, reduce wear and tear on fabrics, and avoid re-running cycles.


Quick Wash & Dry Options for Busy Days

Laundry emergencies? No problem. The LG WM4000HWA Washer has a SpeedWash™ option that lets you clean small loads in just 15 minutes. Pair that with the SpeedDry™ setting on the dryer, and you’ll have clean, dry clothes faster than ever.

Perfect for: Last-minute outfit changes, school uniforms, or forgotten gym clothes.


Delay Start—Laundry on Your Schedule

Both the LG washer and dryer feature a Delay Start option, so you can set your laundry to run when it works for you. Start a load before bed, or have it finish just as you get home from work.

Why it matters: You save time, and if your area has time-of-use energy rates, you can run your machines during off-peak hours to save money.


Specialty Cycles for Every Fabric Type

The LG WM4000HWA washer isn’t just a pretty face—it comes with specialty cycles for everything from delicates to bulky bedding. Combined with the dryer’s customizable settings, you can care for every item the right way, without guessing.

Tip: Be sure to check out the Allergiene™ Cycle, designed to remove common household allergens from fabrics—ideal for households with allergy sufferers or pets.


Smart Features You’ll Actually Use

Laundry from your phone? Yes, please. With LG’s ThinQ® App, you can control both the washer and dryer from your smartphone. Start or stop cycles remotely, get notifications when loads are done, and even receive maintenance alerts to keep everything running smoothly.

Extra cool: You can even use voice control with Google Assistant or Alexa for true laundry convenience.
