Model # WKEX200HWA Initial impression: "It's big!" 2nd impression: Once in place, it doesn't seem overly large--it fits. With it's mid-way black band and 2, large, shaded glass doors that look black, it's a quiet, dignified, tech look. Like that both drums have a light. 3rd impression...

Here we go! Thanks for the reply and good info. I went ahead with the purchase from the distant dealer, ETA 1 week. As suggested by the dealer website, I found an installer via Home Advisor, which I have used successfully many times. Hopefully, all will go smoothly . . . .

Replace my Kenmore with LG Replacing my Kenmore with LG, perhaps the WashTower, in stock at the out-of-town dealer...

I have found a distant dealer that says they have the new washer & dryer I want in stock to replace my now dead-in-the-water washer. A local dealer I have an order with for a few weeks now says the date they are now using is 10/7 but it's not firm at all. The distant dealer offers free...

Connect with a cable??? Connecting with !5G! the clothes will get MUCH dryer than with a cable. :-)

Telling the dryer what to do . . . . I'm looking at the WM4000 washer which seems to be the replacement for the famous WM3900. Like the square door machines, the 4000 says it has the same AI stuff to analyze the load and make decisions and pass cycle info on to the dryer, but I don't see...

That sudden increase in vibration . . . I was curious about the sudden increase in vibration during spin-up and spin-down. Apparently it is an aspect of the nature of vibration called "resonance". As with an opera singer's sound being able to break a wine glass as the frequency of the...

Front Loader Suggestion I'll toss in the bottom-of-the-line LG front loader, WM3500C This line is highly rated, very popular. Large capacity, tho not the largest (for fewer loads and the occasional comforter) Front loader cleaning & energy/water efficiency Pre-wash option for taking care of...

Noise comparison with LG Home Depot opened a new "Design Center" near me. They have the GE GFW650 Fresh Vent washer and the LG WM3900. They were both plugged in so I ran them on spin only to compare the sound. The GE definitely has an additional sound that the LG doesn't have. It's a mild...

The fresh vent I understand consists of a fan, maybe something like the one in the link below but inside the cabinet, and drum rotation, 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off until a sensor or sensor find things have dried. I suppose they tested, but it seems like all that drum rotation would be...

Pump "lift" Pumps for condensate from HVAC are rated for lift = the maximum distance a pump is rated to be able to lift (push) water up and still meet the challenge it's designed for. (Most are max 10 feet.) The consideration is the distance up, not much concern for the distance "over". For...

Check Valve? How about using a check valve with a flapper to prevent backflow? As it is, when the pump stops, water in the hose drains back into the machine, backwards through the pump. That would happen every time the pump stops, all through the cycle. Not a good arrangement. If a check...

Thank You, Alexander Thanks for the clips--a nice variety, very interesting!

Mike, Does your Samsung recirculate to the fins in the basket? If so, does Samsung advertise it/brag about it?

and . . . Jarrod, interesting about the Miele and european washers--some very different concerns. Greeny, I agree. Removing the maximum amount of the dirty, soapy water before introducing rinsing makes complete sense to me. From that patent and from other reading, it seems to me the push to...

Jerrod, Interesting! What you describe are the kinds of things mentioned in the link (which is a Patent). There is more going on in some of these machines than we can easily see.

The Link of Links! The link in my above post (and again here) answers a ton of questions that come up when watching cycles. This assuming most machines use all or some of the theory. It can also explain some of our differing observations since it explains changes to the cycle that will take...

Details! Details! Details! Wow! More than I thought I would ever want to know about washing machine recirculation theory and systems: https://patents.google.com/patent/US8490439
