I think what you mean to say its, "use very dry for maximum coal burning and stereotypical american roasted clothes"... "Very dry" in fact will *lower* efficiency as, once fabric begins to dry, more of the heat energy is wasted out the vent rather than being used to evaporate water. In addition, less latent heat remains in the moist fabric when removed from the dryer and less moisture is able to be evaporated by the ambient temperature room air. You're giving up what was essentially "free drying" by not allowing the latent heat of the moisture left in the fabric to drive that moisture off. That being said, all resistance electric dryers are effectively 100% *inefficient* since they waste exactly 100% of their heat energy without reusing even 1% of it.
@@dregenius I can see what you're saying, however I sometimes use higher heat and dry levels, and remove lighter/delicate items and leave stuff like my heavy duty work jeans in, which don't get dry easy. if I'm drying stuff like socks of course I wont use very dry. I like this LG dryer because it can get a normal cottons load done in 40 minutes or less, but the washer's spin speed also has a lot to do with that. Like I stated on another comment of yours, this isn't a concern to us. This is all part of the big agenda, save resources, sacrifice performance, benefit the government. These dryers are traditional for America, and work very well. Yeah, electric dryers eat up some energy, but not as much when they have good sensors and technology like this LG here. I still would take an electric dryer over a gas dryer because of the clothes sometimes smelling like gas when they come out because up where I am we don't have Natural gas, only LPG, which aside being very expensive right now, emits more of a burning smell in my experience. It also requires a conversion kit, which isn't always available or hard to do in a machine like this. When we were setting up this laundry room, we had to do quite a bit of gas work and were perfectly capable of installing a gas dryer but, for reasons above we didn't. start the fire. Hahaha If you meant that I should have gotten a heat pump dryer, that was considered for a short period then ruled out for many reasons. Cheers!
@@dregenius So? And? I want dry clothes! Is that a lot to ask? This is why I use high heat and very dry st times. This is especially true for towels and jeans.

Thank you! The drum light is awesome, but it can be a little annoying while filming because it shuts off every 7 minutes or so and you have to reactivate it. An awesome feature though! Thanks for watching!
@@wyzemann No not at all, the Nature green is a much deeper darker shade of forest green, the avocado green of 70’s was much lighter and had a tiny yellowish hue to it Cool little tidbit though KitchenAid actually brought back a full range of colors for their new commercial style ranges, hope that becomes a thing again for all new appliances! But yeah they’ll do anything to make something sound new when it’s not :P
Wow it’s so nice wish I had the room for one, but my washing machine has to be an under counter one as I live in a flat and the washing machine is in the kitchen! But I do have an LG washer and it’s very quiet I only really notice the pump and fill occasionally when doing towels and bedding and the drum is full up maximum load it can vibrate a bit when it’s gets to 1200/1400rpm but I expect that with any washing machine. My old one one was a 1500rpm brushed motor and it would literally sound like it was screaming at that speed and the vibration and shaking to 🫨😂🤣🙈 But sadly my bearing has got issues water is leaking out the back of it into the bottom panel and all onto live wires so causing a electric buzzing noise so it’s going to scrap heap heaven when my new LG washer/dryer combo comes on the 14th of march. My 2018 model has turbowash but not the 360 one so looking forward to seeing it doing its thing 💯😂😊
LG is awesome! The model below this actually doesn’t have the 360 turbowash, just the regular one. I have a few vids up with it on turbowash, and it’s pretty cool! The main difference is the atomizer fill jet which usually triggers midway through the wash/all through the rinse.
Do you have a video of removing and cleaning the washer seal? That thing gets really gross and needs to be cleaned. I know it’s possible with other LG washers just not sure how to do so with the wash tower.
Hi! If you mean the pump filter, I unfortunately don't have a video on that, but it's pretty simple: on the bottom left corner below the washer door there's a little hatch, and behind that is the pump clean-out. There's a little hose in there, and that is to drain the leftover water that sits in the pump. Once you drain that into a small container (roughly 1-2 quarts of water) you can unscrew the pump filter, and clean the screen in there. I pulled mine out once and there are definitely little crumbs and hairs that collect in there haha I put together a few photos I took when cleaning it so you can see: th-cam.com/video/1dxqqkcYC44/w-d-xo.html When i get the chance I'll definitely try and make a quick video on cleaning it. Hope this helped you and thanks for watching! Sorry if this wasn't what you meant but I'm not aware of any seals that can be cleaned without completely disassembling the machine :)
Glad you enjoyed the video :D! I can't really say because I didn't hang around to watch the sheets dry, but I'd say probably around an hour on the medium heat setting. Sorry I can't provide the exact time :l Thanks for watching!
Howdy! You can re-activate the drum light by holding the Pre-Wash button for a few seconds, but after 4 minutes it will turn off automatically. In the video I edited out most of the parts where it turned off and i had to come back and re-activate it. Thanks for watching, Hope this helped! :D
Thanks for getting back to me I appreciate it! Good information too bad LG doesn’t let the lights stay on automatically, you’d think they would for the price point
@@deathbeforedishonor573 Anytime! Yeah they should! They could've made it so that if vou held the button for like 8 seconds then it would override it and stav on for the whole wash. It does look nice with the drum lights on, and makes it much easier to film the wash! My 2017 Whirlpool Front load machine had a drum light that would stay on even past when the cycle ended, until you opened the door. It was great, but I'd always forget to turn it back off again 🤣
Okay, thanks. I prefer to use fabric softener in my laundry. Call me old school, but I want my clothes coming out fresh smelling and soft feeling.@@DylBuilder1
The light for the drum stays on for 4 minutes, then automatically turns off. As far as I know there is no way to make it stay on for the entire wash. In this video, I had to come back every so often and re enable the drum light, then edit out the parts where it was off. Thanks for watching!
Nope! Since this dryer is a traditional vented style, it simply expels the moisture outside. When activated, the Steam jet is used pretty sparingly so there isn't a need for a drain :)
I used HE detergent, which is designed to produce less suds for better rinsing performance in these newer machines. Generally with Front Loaders HE soap is required
Very nice Dylan. So Thai replaced the SQ set? Or did you hook this up elsewhere? I don’t know anything about these types of washers but from the looks of it, it did very well. Digging the light and tub jets. Maybe someday I’ll get one of these.
Thanks Matt! This didn't replace the Speed Queens. We moved the laundry at this location from upstairs to downstairs, hence the need for a one piece/stackable set. This REALLY surprised me for a modern machine, it seems to be built pretty well and the cleaning/rinsing is SUPER, actually even better than the SQ. I love these! Thanks for watching!
LG's is one of the only FL brands (at least from what I can tell) that uses MORE water to rinse than to wash... All of the other FL brands from the cycles I've seen online look as if they use the SAME amount to rinse as to wash... This is why my next washer will be an LG front loader
@@DylBuilder1 My Whirlpool also uses more water to rinse, but sometimes, it uses practically no water for a rinse, even for a full load where it used at least some water to wash. Don’t know why. It’s not just the normal cycle that does that. Although, I try to stay away from that cycle, because it is garbage in my opinion.
Hmm. I never really noticed the low rinse level with my 92, Because even if it had a fairly low level on the 1st rinse it would fill up deep on the 2nd rinse (Cycles other than Quick and Normal with 2 default rinses). Nowadays on pretty much any washer the Normal cycle is the worst because of the EPA and DOE regulations. However the Normal worked alright on mine. Ours are exactly the same, the 0th revision so IDK.
@@DylBuilder1 That’s the reason I try to avoid the normal cycle. I mainly use quick wash, cold wash, whites, and heavy duty. I don’t love waiting an hour and a half for it to finish, but if I use light soil, the wash won’t be long enough for me.
@@maxbubbles6009 IIRC Normal/light soil is around a 10 minute wash so I see what you mean, but I think normal is better than cold wash. I just always used Normal on Normal or light soil or sometimes Colorlast on normal or light soil for everyday wear, and then Whites for whites (that's actually a good cycle) then heavy duty for large or heavy items like rugs and blankets. I never thought the normal cycle was horrible, it was the cycle I used most. usually it only took around 50 mins.
The 4 recirculating TurboWash Jets recirculate water over the clothes so there isn't as much need for a deep puddle of water in the tub. This machine does fill very high compared to many other front loaders though! If you're asking why it doesn't fill up to the glass like a laundromat machine, the reason why is this isn't a commercial machine designed to hold that much water. Those machine have no suspension and are mounted to the floor so weight isn't a problem for them, and those machines generally cannot be paused because opening the door would cause a flood. This machine is designed differently, but still does a fantastic job!
It does seem pointless but remember that this is basically a stacked LG front load set, but in a one piece/tower form and with a shared control location. The cold water for the washer already has to have multiple different valves to operate the prewash, main wash, bleach, and softener dispensers. Having another valve for the steam that goes off the washer's cold water supply would mean that the washer would have to be on and feeding power to the solenoid if only the dryer was running. But that's not the only problem, the diverter that runs all the different valves can only do one at a time, so if the dryer was taking steam and the washer was trying to fill, there would be a problem. The 2nd inlet for the steam fixes those issues. And there's also a floor in the dryer so that mean some sort of long hose would have to go through the floor of the dryer, into it and connect all the way up to the bulkhead (back part that doesn't rotate) of the dryer. So the 2nd inlet is the smartest option.
They’re still two separate pieces, but both controlled thru the center dashboard. If both washer and dryer were one big piece, the inner workings would be way too complex.
Actually compared to some other front loaders it uses a pretty high water level. It filled up to about 2 inches deep on this wash, and with the TurboWash 360 jets it really did a good job
![UCF Professor Richard Quinn accuses class of cheating [Original]](/img/n.gif)
Okay, one recommendation for the dryer. Use VERY DRY on the dryness level to get maximum drying efficiency.
pin this?
I’ve just been using the middle dot whatever that is, i guess normal dry and it’s working fine, but thanks for the tip!
