Using the Appliance Remotely

Remote Start

Use a smartphone to control your appliance remotely. You can also monitor your cycle operation so you know how much time is left in the cycle.

Using Remote Start
  • Put the laundry in the tub. If using ezDispense, make sure that there is sufficient detergent and softener in the reservoirs. If not using the ezDispense function, pour the detergent directly into the tub. When using powdered detergent, the detergent may clump up, so add the detergent first and then load the laundry

    • If desired, add bleach to the appropriate section of the manual dispenser.

  • Press the Power button.

  • Press the Settings button, turn the knob to select Remote Start and press the 8 (OK) button.

  • Turn the knob to select On and press the 8 (OK) button to enable the remote control function.

  • Start a cycle from the LG ThinQ application on your smartphone.

Note
  • Once this function is enabled, you can only start a cycle from the LG ThinQ smartphone application. If the cycle is not started, the appliance will wait to start the cycle until it is turned off remotely from the application or the remote function is disabled.

  • If the door has been opened, you cannot start a cycle remotely.

Disabling Remote Start Manually

When the function is activated, press the Settings button, turn the knob to select Remote Start and press the 8 (OK) button. Turn the knob to select Off and press the 8 (OK) button.
