Another WhirlFool Engineering Masterpiece! Not to detract from the thread, but it immediately reminded me of what I have to do to our Whirlpool fridge this weekend, mainly the condenser coils... You know the coils which are at the bottom? Those zig zag shaped ones making it ridiculously...

Drum Roll Please... Name a better duo other than Whirlpool and control boards, i'll wait. I'm never going to forget how a few months back I commented on Whirlpool control boards being notorious for issues, after that a thread was created about their Whirlpool VMW top loader having control...

Definitely agree about the rinsing part. LG still hasn't changed the fact that the recirc jets stay on all the time during the rinse even between tumbles...it really does kick up suds. I've found I have to use significantly less detergent than in my Whirlpool WFW72 or else those jets will...

Appnut & Powerfin64 - I thought I was crazy! Glad to see that you guys also seem to notice that majority of the downloaded cycles appear to be reskins of the Normal cycle. That rinse action of spinning while spraying with a tub full of water appears to be what LG refers to as "filtration."...

Can confirm, my 2018 WM4370 does the exact same thing you described. I swear it uses more water on the rinse than my 2014 Whirlpool WFW72. I myself also add an extra rinse to most loads. Smaller loads however, I just opt for the 1 default rinse. If I recall correctly, Maytag Neptunes also did...

Side Note - Balancing Rings Anyone? Does anybody know why Whirlpool stopped using balancing rings after the Alpha series?

You must be talking about Bens Appliance and Junk, I watch him all the time! I remember 2 years ago, we had a horrible storm - probably the worst one I've ever experienced. This storm knocked down power lines, streetlights and downed trees. Around 10:30 AM that Saturday morning I put in a...

Samsung + Whirlpool + GE = The New Whirlpool Seems LGs TurboWash feature with the recirculation pump has had its impact on the market. AFAIK, GE seems to be the only one that isn't using a recirculation pump in any of its front loaders. There seems to be variation in terms of implementation...

Been awhile since I've been here! Happy to report that our WM4370HKA will be turning 6 this year and has gotten there without a single hitch! However, I noted that at times it seems to be taking a lot longer to balance than it did prior, not terribly worse though it is noticeable which leads...

Top loaders never went anywhere or "out of fashion." The models just got worse and worse as the years progressed. The only comebacks as of now I picked up on are in the following categories: AP: Agipeller I: Impeller Softest Suspension: GE and Samsung. Most Useless "Agitator" Design...

Bearing and spider failures almost always appear to be a sign of neglect. For instance: - All cold washes - Excessive detergent - Frequent overloading are all factors which will act as a catalyst in bearing and spider failure. Sealed tub or not, both outcomes will be expensive, whether it's a...

Our LG WM4370 is now around 2 years old. Over the last few months, I've noticed that every now and then when I spin the drum slowly, that it would emit a faint squealing sound. I brushed it off as my WP Duet WFW72 at my old house, would also make a faint squealing sound occasionally but it...

I'm not a fan of the spray rinse during the spin cycles (on front loaders at least). On my WM4370 it seems to do more harm than good especially on large loads. The washer ends up water logging the outer tub and detects it very late, sometimes even generating suds making certain cycles longer...

Mine also only lets you pick Extra Hot on the Normal cycle and Sanitary. Really strange. On the Normal cycle, the jets don't activate at all when Extra Hot is selected, on Sanitary however, the jets spray the hot water onto the load and let it soak into the fabrics which is very effective IMO...

I managed to make the semi rigid duct path as straight as it could be and removed one elbow connecting the duct to the wall. Now with the dryer on, it seems much louder than before and I can hear the air. I did a load of towels after and they all dried and the dryer did not seem to hang at the 1...
