WM6700HBA Nozzle Clean Is Different From Tub Clean

Fixlume editorialSource check: October 16, 2026LG · washers
The short answer

ezDispense Nozzle Clean targets the reservoir-connected dispensing hose. Tub Clean targets the wash tub. Use the nozzle function for documented dispenser maintenance or a liquid change; completing Tub Clean does not establish that the dispensing path was flushed.

Models covered

WM6700HBA with the dial/Options menu described in the WM6700H*A/WM5700H*A manual. This is not a universal LG key combination.

Before you begin
Wait for motion to stop and the door or lid to unlock. Water may be hot. Isolate power and follow the exact manual before any user filter maintenance. Never open a filter against a full drum, force a lock or bypass an interlock.

Compare the behavior

Match the documented control, cycle or feature before interpreting the result. The comparison below keeps normal model behavior separate from an unresolved fault.

Model-specific checks

Choose the system you are cleaning

A clean drum does not answer whether old softener remains in a dispensing hose. The two cleaning tasks have different targets. Identify the reason for maintenance: a reservoir product change, dispenser residue, or a drum-clean reminder. Keep laundry out while performing the maintenance function.

Use the named function, then its prompts

Look in the model’s settings for ezDispense Nozzle Clean and follow the displayed reservoir preparation instructions. Clean removable reservoir residue separately according to the maintenance section. Do not add an improvised chemical cleaner to the automatic liquid tanks or assume a drum-clean tablet belongs there.

Judge the original complaint afterward

After maintenance, restore the intended tank contents and dispensing configuration. Evaluate the next appropriate load against the original symptom. A completed maintenance cycle cannot prove that a pump, sensor or delivery tube is healthy. If a refill alert remains or liquid is still not delivered, describe that result to service rather than repeating every cleaning cycle.

What to record next

The removable reservoir, connected dispensing hose and wash tub need different cleaning tasks. Choose the documented maintenance function for the part you are trying to clean rather than repeatedly running Tub Clean.

When to stop and get help

Only carry out maintenance permitted in your model’s manual. For service, note the full model number and suffix, displayed code, selected cycle and what happened during the checks. Leave internal wiring, gas components, pumps and safety devices to a qualified professional. A symptom alone does not identify a failed part.
