    Thank you, we got one a week ago, the installers cracked something by tightening too much, and it took a long time for the second crew to figure out where the leak was coming from (brand new machine 1 week ago). Kind of leary, want to try the load and go, but the first machine, it emptied somewhere, we don't know where. So thankful to find this.

    I just had a set delivered to my house today after my 23 year old Kenmore finally died. The model I got was larger with the 5.3 drum with the removable agitator. Thank you for your review!! It was extremely helpful! You were the only one I could find that did a review on these models. As for the wifi enabled, I don't really see a use for the washer, but the dryer I would definitely have an opportunity to use it. If I am drying a load and I have to leave the house quickly and forget to turn off the dryer, I would use the app to turn it off. I live in the country and I have 4 dogs that could be stuck in the house if there was a fire. I try to always turn off the dryer before I leave. Just makes me rest more easily.

    Had to leave this set at our last house when we moved in December last year. After a year with a beat up LG (likely nice when new...in 2004) pair that came with our new house, and being unable to wash the comforter at home, my wife is finally ready to upgrade back to this set with the gas dryer. The WiFi functionality was useful for me, I could load the clothes before bed or before leaving for work, and start the washer to finish at X time so the load wasn't sitting wet for hours on end.

    I just got the washer this week and I love it too!! One tip about the fabric softener, make sure you have the fabric softener option turned on when using fabric softener. Otherwise, it will not dispense properly and that is why its building up in the dispenser. I've used fabric softener multiple times with the fabric softener setting on and have not had this issue once.

    Great review very thorough you covered just about everything you could. By the way the normal setting on the washer is the government energy qualified setting so it uses the least amount of water therefore the installer was right by steering you away from using normal. The same holds true for the dryer it tends to shut off quicker than it should leaving like the seam of pants/pjs not fully dry.

    I have a 12-year-old 5.0 cu.ft. Whirlpool Cabrio impeller washer. Although some people complained about it's washing ability, I founded it does a great job. It's still in great shape, except for an important issue, but I only use it a few times a month because I have a good number cloths and it's just me. That problem, which is a known issue, is that for a few years it has increasingly shut down because of overload and drained the water, even when it was not overloaded. I would have to try different procedures like starting it and unplugging it for a few minutes, and changing the setting and starting it again to try to reset it--also pulling the drum up when it is empty several times to free the release mechanism in case it is sticking (I think perhaps one time years ago I mistakenly used non-HE detergent and possibly suds overflowed and dripped on the spindle/axle underneath the drum and corroded it, who knows). It's becoming increasingly difficult to get it work--sometimes I just have to go through proceduress five times to get it to work properly, or else just rinse and spin to finish the wash, and just now, the I the last time I used it, I tested it first with no clothes hello detergent, and it through the overload, and no matter what I did I could not get it to finish a load, so after attempting the procedure a couple of times with detergent and a couple more with no detergent, I just finished it with a spin and dry, which seems to sufficiently clean the clothes, but after a lot of aggravation and wasted water and energy. I've heard different reports as to whether that can be fixed or not, which is too bad because aside from that glitch the machine works fine. So I'm looking to buy a new one with a new dryer, as the dryer I have is a smaller, older, different brand model that doesn't heat enough anymore, so I have to run it twice. I'm thinking maybe I will go with the Whirlpool convertible agitator/impeller version--is that a direct drive or belt driven? The only complaint I've read about that one is that it can make noise in the spin cycle if it's not fully loaded, although that may b just a matter of some machines being out of balance or the clothes not being distributed evenly.
    I also do not care for all the electronics--I prefer knobs and maybe a few buttons. The electronics seemed to be what failed and caused the problems throwing the overload on my current Cabrio, or maybe the electronics combined with the poorly designed floating tub release mechanism.

      I just found some more info about my particular Cabrio. Although it is prone to having motherboard problems, as mine seems to have with the overload problem, it is a rather ingenious and simple design, developed by a New Zealand Company--this is from one webpage:
      My first encounter with the Cabrio washing machine design was
      at Whirlpool repair training in San Diego just before the Cabrio
      washer was introduced. I was immediately impressed with the simplicity
      of the Cabrio design and the ease diagnosis and repair. Now that a few
      years have passed since this washer's introduction, it has become more
      apparent that the control board of this washing machine is fairly common
      to have problems. The Cabrio washer's main sub seal is also common to leak, leading to
      rusted and loud spin bearings. The customer feed back concerning the
      Cabrio washer's ability to clean clothes is mixed.

      can adjust the water so i always used the extra rinse 😃 also constantly the load piled it in 1 side so always used the low spin 😨now i just got the whirpool set with the agitator and water adjuster 😆😃 but i cant figure out why the washer doesn't release the detergent 😏😒🙄🤷‍♀️😆

    • @fredbloggs6080
      @fredbloggs6080 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@MariaRoseGonzalez it doesn't release the detergent because they are designed not to get your clothes clean. that's a joke. Sort of. Are you sure you're putting the detergent where it's supposed to be and not in the bleach dispenser? The Cabrio I had was purchased about mid 2009, and those earlier ones had magnetic propulsion drive, so no driveshaft and no belts, propelled by magnetic impulses like a magnetic propulsion train. It would spin to very high speeds with hardly any vibration, you may not even know it was running with your hand on it. So the model you have may have been different--they had several versions after that which used a belt drive, starting in 2010. I found it did put enough water in but I always used the extra rinse because it didn't seem to rinse enough with a single rinse, leaving a slight soap residue. There's a whole story after it finally stopped working where first I got a large capacity LG direct drive that caused too much vibration on spin, even with nothing in it, which was replaced by the store with another of the same model, which had the same problem, so I returned it for a refund and bought from another retailer a large capacity Whirlpool direct drive, one with the detachable agitator and ability to add more water. Well that hardly put any water in during the normal setting, the washed the clothes almost dry, it seemed, which would be hard on them, and kept pausing, and seemed to leave a residue after rinsing. If I added more water per deep fill, the clothes just floated on top and were not affected at all by the impeller. Even when I attached the agitator, it did nothing but mirror the motion of the impeller it wasn't a real agitation motion, and did not do anything to agitate the clothes, with a deep fill, or even with a normal operation because the water level always seemed to be below the agitator, which was just going with the impeller anyway. So two gimmicks they touted, deep fill and attachable/detachable agitator that either did not work at all or did nothing. So I returned the Whirlpool for a refund and purchased from that same store the original model of LG that I had returned twice to the other retailer, after I saw Consumer Reports rate all the LG as excellent for washing, but it gave that particular model a poor rating for water conservation. I said that's what I need, one that uses the normal amount of water. I just do clothes for myself and not that often because I don't go out as much and I have a large number of clothes, so water conservation is the last thing I'm worried about. I would use more water with one or two flushes of the older non-conserving toilets I have. Anyway, that same model LG delivered from the second retailer did not have the vibration problems of the other two, and I noticed the bottom edge under the machine was somewhat different, in that it did not have something protruding underneath like the other ones did, so maybe they redesigned it or others were defective. However with this LG, the deep fill doesn't work properly to wash the clothes, similar to the Whirlpool where it floats them on top that agitating them, but I run it just on the normal setting for everything and it gives sufficient water eventually, based on its auto load sensing after it enters the second or third cycle. Strangely, adding an extra rinse messes up all the settings and puts too much water in to begin with so doesn't work right, so I just have to leave it on normal and it works fine.

    Thank you for this video! I managed to snag, hopefully a deal, on this washer at Lowes. It is a return item, they had to replace the belt on it. But I've been watching washer prices for months now, and the very basic models running about 450. I just can't afford that. Still hated spending the money, but was only 339. But I couldn't pass it up. I've actually had really good luck with other items I've bought from the box stores that were returns, hopefully this will be the same with this one.
    I just looked at the manual online, and OMG....rather intimidating coming from a basic machine. All the stuff these new washers have. Wifi lol?? I won't use 75% of it. Not too thrilled about the electronic display, though it is nice, but I am not a fan of all this stuff now being electrical or computerized. While a lot of it is convenient or helpful, it's expensive to fix when it breaks.

The salesperson did not go over any specs with us and didn't seem to know much about it. I had to ask them to make a copy of the specs that was inside the washer front & back. Also, there is an option to buy with/without the agitator which you didn't mention. We wanted the agitator (no extra charge). Where is the hot water option? I'll ask the installer when they deliver.

    Thanks so much for this review. We just got our washer and dryer delivered today. The model we bought was the dark charcoal grey 5.3 drum with the removable agitator. Your video was very helpful. Just put my first load to wash now, so barely going to use the dryer as well. At first I was very intimidated by the panel but after watching your video it seems pretty easy. I hope this set will last me longer than my previous set which was a Samsung. Well my dryer still worked but I was going on 5 years with them and my washer gave out. So of course I just decided to buy a set to match. I hope I’ll have better luck with the Whirlpool. I’m excited to try the remote whirlpool app as well which I would probably only use if I had to leave the house. I guess it’s a nice option to have tho.

      Not sure how much truth this holds but I recently learned the you only need about a table spoon of detergent for each load, any more and stains end up worse than that with a table spoon. I’d say if your clothes are coking out clean it should be okay. If they’re not then get a tech to check it out .

    Nothing wrong with the audio. You came through clearly. I do have a question for you though. I just bought a whirlpool top loader but not as smart as yours. Is it possible to pause a washer load, throw that lone sock into it that got missed when initially loading it, and then restart the machine, WITHOUT having all the water drain out (there goes my detergent!) when the pause button was first pressed? Thank you.

    • @TheBreakdownWithLuke
      @TheBreakdownWithLuke  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The same button you start it with will also pause it and unlock the lid. I don't think it drains it when you do that. Though. I typically do it pretty early when I forget something.

    I just recently purchased this set, like literally 7 days ago. I guess I’m liking it so far. I agree with you that I don’t think the remote enabling is necessary. But, my question is, do you have to use the “load and go” to release the detergent? I see that it says that you can deactivate the “load and go”, but then can you dispense your detergent one load at a time? And if so, from where? I just worry about the detergent sitting in that load and go tray for too long and clumping up. Thanks for your review!

    • @TheBreakdownWithLuke
      @TheBreakdownWithLuke  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you want to use the dispenser you need to use load and go otherwise you just need to manually put it in. Now if you're just using the packets you can drop them in you can disable it if you use liquid you want to use the load and go.

    If you have this washer, and it randomly stops draining and you get an F9E1 or F8E6 code and says to check if drain is clogged, more than likely that the wires on the drain motor were yanked right out.
