Alliance IS SpeedQueen. Same company. My experience is that I was lied to by Alliance.

It's your money but beware....... Our SQ FL always had a funky smell, our laundry room gets closed off at night so in the morning it was obvious. We always washed hot, and always left the door open and dried the door and drum after laundry. Then when it was seven years old the control board...

I just put a "heavy duty" load in, and a pool of water is visible in the bottom of the drum, it was not before the mod. The water level is still well below the glass. I think I like one turn of the screw.

The Youtube vids showing how to raise the water level on LG washers, all show prior models so I just wanted to assure owners of the 2022 models that nothing has changed. The attached pictures were taken with an empty drum on speedwash both before and after adding one clockwise turn on the...

Tried it again: the 3600 does not respond to delay+temp or delay+spin. No doubt a firmware "upgrade"

Does the water adjustment trick work on the latest generation of LG washers then? Or have they taken care of that like all big corporations tend to do? If so, I will be doing this one day after my 1 yr warranty expires.

I tried the app in desperation! I tried quick touches, and long holds, nothing worked last time. Maybe the 3600 lacks this functionality?

appnut: yes, that's what I was trying. The machine did not respond. I also checked the phone app in case that functionality had moved, but no.

appnut - thanks again for the confirmation on soil/temp John: I think I mentioned in the thread that I tried the delay+temp "trick" but the panel just seems locked to input and ignored me. Is there a step I might be missing, like pausing the cycle first or something? Another interesting data...

I just tried the steam option on four sofa pillows (damn dogs!). It defaults the temp to off which I guess makes sense, but also the soil level is defaulted off. Is this correct? Also, I set up the wifi connectivity, hoping that might allow me to see spin speed and water temp as appnut...

appnut, Yes, until experimenting today, I've used extra high spin exclusively, I didn't know it mean extra long duration as well? What are the various spin speeds?

Cycles definitely tend to shorten as they go. I think the 2 hr cycle ended up more like 1hr-40, still painfully long. I don't get why it spends so long on the final spin, I haven't clocked it, but it seemed like at least 15 minutes spinning! The delay+ spin and delay+temp don't work on my...

appnut, Thanks for the temp and spin display info, I shall try that. I just put in a load - heavy duty - hot wash (not extra), normal soil, extra fast spin and it still says 2Hours! So it's not extra hot which determines the extra time.

As you both say - no turbowash on this model. When my SpeedQueen FL died, I hastily looked for a replacement washer. I found a review online which stated that this model DID have turbowash, so I was disappointed to see otherwise once it arrived. For a measly extra $100 it would have been...

Just replaced my dead 7 year old Speed Queen front loader with a middle of the road LG, the WM3600. So far it seems decent, it's quiet, has a very fast spin, but boy, is it SLOW? Using the "Normal" cycle, a mid sized load takes 2 hours! This is only using extra hot, and extra fast spin...
