I usually buy liquid detergent with a measuring cap and just recap the bottle and let excess detergent drain back into the bottle. Recently, I bought a larger jug with the spout and I don’t like the measuring cap that came with it (tended to make a mess) so I’m reusing the cap from the last...

I have the DLHC5502W and I love it! It does take longer than my Whirlpool heat pump dryer (WED99HEDC) but the performance is spectacular. The LG does reverse direction which makes all the difference in the world for bulky items like blankets and comforters. It does also change tumbling speed...

Thank you so much for all you have done for us Robert! I can truly say that your efforts changed the course of my entire life in 2002 when I stumbled upon this site after having just turned 12!

I have been thinking about getting one of these for a little while myself! But I’m also tempted by the Samsung 240V vented combo… but it’s a Samsung after all. I’d prefer an LG machine and I’m hoping they’ll come out with a vented version. I’ll be curious to hear what you think of it! My other...

Absolutely stunning video and explanation Robert! I might need to pull my Unimatic from storage and play with it a bit now!

Looks like Speed Queen is retiring the mechanical timer on their lower end dryers. DR3 and DC5 are getting shifted to the same setup as the DR5 was a while back. New models are listed as DR3004 vs the DR3003 and DC5004 vs DC5003. https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/DC5004WE.html

Looks like I’d need to get two 2,000W heating elements to get to 4,000W according to the parts diagrams I have for my machine. My machine is a rather odd depth. It’s the width of the 30lb capacity machine but the depth of the 20lb capacity machine and my machine is rated 25lbs. I will...

I had just turned 12 when I created my account on here! I do sometimes wish I had put a little more thought into my username before picking it haha

I am absolutely beside myself with excitement! The cleaning performance has blown away my expectations! I may research a little more to see about swapping for the 4,000W element. It can take a bit to get up to 60°C (20 minutes is the longest so far) and keep in mind, while that is with a hot...

It was easy enough to figure out how to change the software to allow for heating. The slightly harder part was figuring out what parts I needed. It took a couple of batches of purchases and some parts shipped from the factory in Europe. So around 2 months. Then I sat down with my dad (electrical...

Congrats on your purchase!!! I absolutely love my 4200!

Go for the LG! It’s a really nice machine!

Finally got a video! Finally managed to get enough time to get a video recorded! This is just a play load of clean towels, so they didn’t rinse out super well… whoops. You may hear some other noises throughout the video, sorry! lol Cycle is one I created! “Towels”

Rinso, I wish I could get a matching dryer! Alas, those are just too big to fit through my doorway! Maybe someday when we move into a different house. WK78, thank you! I am very excited to have been able to accommodate this machine! I will definitely be planning to share pictures/videos as I...

Thanks for the kind words! I feel so fortunate and am incredibly excited to have this machine! This particular machine is wired for 240V. It has an internal 3 phase converter. If I did not use the 8 inch riser, the machine would not require bolting to the floor at all. It comes with some very...
