Introduction

In this guide, we will provide You with step-by-step instructions on how to use the Easy Dispense feature on your LG washing machine. The Easy Dispense feature detects the weight of the load and automatically dispenses the optimal quantity of detergent and fabric softener, making your laundry experience easier than ever before. We will cover how to fill the Easy Dispense compartments, manually adjust the dispense level, use the manual dispense function, change default dispensing quantity, use both dispenser compartments for liquid detergent, and how to set the dispenser 2 compartment back to liquid fabric softeners. Let's get started!

How to Fill the Easy Dispense Compartments

To fill the Easy Dispense compartments, follow these steps:

1. Pull the Easy Dispense drawer out far enough to remove the detergent and softener caps.
2. The right side of the compartment is for liquid detergent, and the left side is for liquid fabric softener. However, the softener compartment can also be used as a detergent dispenser.
3. Turn the caps counterclockwise to open the detergent and softener dispensers.
4. Pour the detergent into the right side, up to the max line.
5. Pour the softener into the left side, up to the max line.
6. Do not put powdered detergents, powdered bleach, gel detergents, or sheet-Type detergents into the Easy Dispense compartments.
7. After filling the compartments, insert the caps and turn them clockwise until they are tightly closed.
8. Push the Easy Dispense drawer back in until it is fully closed. The sensors will automatically detect if the drawer is not fully closed and notify you by flashing "OPN" in the display while sounding an alarm.

How to Manually Adjust the Dispense Level

You can manually adjust the quantity of detergent and softener dispensed for the Current cycle by toggling through the dispenser 1 and 2 buttons. The "less" option is suitable for lightly soiled clothes, while the default mode is suitable for your average daily laundry. If you want to increase the amount of detergent or softener dispensed for heavily soiled laundry, press the dispenser 1 and 2 buttons again to set the Easy Dispense to "more" mode. It's also a good idea to check the Easy Dispense level before starting each wash cycle.

How to Use the Manual Dispense Function

If you prefer to use specialized detergents for delicates like wool or lingerie instead of the Easy Dispense feature, you can use the manual dispense function. Here's how:

1. Press the dispenser 1 and 2 buttons to turn off the Easy Dispense function and set the washing machine to manual mode.
2. Pull the Easy Dispense drawer out until you can fully access the manual dispensing compartment.
3. Pour the liquid or powdered detergent into the manual dispensing compartment. Do not mix liquids and powders, and do not use the manual dispenser for single-use detergent pods.
4. Push the Easy Dispense drawer back in, and you are all set to wash the load with specialized detergent.

How to Change Default Dispensing Quantity

You can change the default dispensing quantity settings for the Easy Dispense function by following these steps:

1. Turn the knob to select the desired cycle you wish to alter the dispensing quantity for.
2. Press the dispenser 1 or 2 buttons for three seconds to select a compartment.
3. The detergent or softener dispensing quantity settings will appear in the display window.
4. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the quantity.
5. Save the changes by pressing and holding the dispenser 1 or 2 button for three seconds.

How to Use Both Dispenser Compartments for Liquid Detergent

The Easy Dispense system is set by default to dispense liquid fabric softener from dispenser 2. However, dispenser 2 can also be used to release detergent instead of softener if you prefer. Before converting dispenser 2 to detergent or back to using a softener, be sure to clean the compartment. Here's how to use both dispenser compartments for liquid detergent:

1. Press and hold the dispenser 1 and dispenser 2 buttons at the same time for 3 seconds until you hear a signal. "SET" will then appear in the display window.
2. Press the dispenser 1 button to light up the "Link" indicator.
3. Press and hold the dispenser 1 and dispenser 2 buttons at the same time for three seconds again to save the changes.
4. You can now use the same type of detergent in dispenser 1 and dispenser 2.

If you want to use different types of liquid detergent in each compartment, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the dispenser 1 and 2 buttons at the same time for 3 seconds until you hear a signal.
2. Press the dispenser 2 button to light up the liquid detergent indicator.
3. Press and hold the dispenser 1 and dispenser 2 buttons at the same time for three seconds to save the changes.
4. You are now set to use different types of detergent in dispenser 1 and dispenser 2.

Setting the Dispenser 2 Compartment Back to Liquid Fabric Softeners

If you want to use dispenser 2 for liquid fabric softener again, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the dispenser 1 and dispenser 2 buttons at the same time for 3 seconds until you hear a signal.
2. Press the dispenser 2 button to set it back to dispense liquid fabric softener again.
3. Press and hold the dispenser 1 and dispenser 2 buttons at the same time for three seconds to save the changes.

And that's it! Now you know how to get the most out of the LG Easy Dispense system. Thank you for using LG washing machines!
