Which compartment should I put the detergent in in my LG washing machine? Although washing machines have long been an indispensable household item, some people experience difficulties or doubts when using their washing machines. This is true, for example, with the detergent compartments: not everyone understands where to put the detergent in an LG washing machine? It's time to put this issue to rest once and for all.

Purpose of the tray compartments

This particular brand's dispenser has three compartments. What's the point of having separate compartments if you can pour all your detergents into one? The compartment you choose depends on the type of detergent and its intended use. Each compartment is numbered with a Roman numeral or marked with a symbol. The compartment layout may vary, and the markings will help you avoid confusion and choose the right compartment.

The Roman numeral "I" is usually the first compartment on the right. It's used when the item is heavily soiled and requires a prewash. Therefore, if you're using the prewash setting, be sure to use this compartment.
The Roman numeral II is located on the left side of LG machines. This is the base compartment where detergent is poured during standard washing cycles, which is the majority of washing cycles.
The * symbol or flower. This drawer is designed for fabric softeners and other additional softening agents. It looks slightly different from the others (in terms of shape, color, and capacity), making it difficult to accidentally confuse with other compartments.

Important! It is not recommended to pour or pour detergent directly into the drum, as water will drain and refill several times during the wash cycle. This will ensure that the first batch of detergent is completely rinsed out, and then it will be gradually released through the dispenser into the machine.

What happens if you put the powder in the wrong place?

Nothing particularly serious will happen in this case, but the washing quality will definitely suffer. The problem is that depending on the wash cycle, the machine "decides" when and from which compartment to remove the detergent. For example, if you poured detergent into the rinse aid compartment instead of the base compartment, the machine knows to remove the detergent from that compartment only after the wash is complete, and does so. As a result, the detergent won't have time to be removed, and you'll end up with poorly rinsed clothes.

If, on the contrary, you use a pre-wash, but pour the powder into compartment * instead of compartment I, this is fraught with the fact that instead of a pre-wash, your laundry will simply be rinsed in water and the procedure will be, so to speak, in vain: the stains will not be washed out, and the amount of powder will not be enough for regular cleaning.

You can always wash your laundry again, taking into account all the mistakes. You wouldn't want to wear laundry with detergent residue—it causes allergies and simply spoils the aesthetic appearance of the items. So it's better not to let this happen and put the washing powder in the compartment for its intended purpose, otherwise you'll end up completely wasting water, electricity, money, and your time.But if you follow all the rules and pay attention, the quality of your wash will be excellent!
