These should be typical conductivity sensors. But even with those, there's a wide array of how they are used. Some older timer models with those literally just stoped the timer motor if any conductivity was measured. More modern designs can check for average conductivity and number/time of...

Keep in mind LG likely does a lot of behind the scenes temp modulation - so med high on towels might be 10F or so different from Normal med high. Further, normal dry on one cycle might be a bit different from normal dry on another cycle. In general, with vented dryers, lower temps and longer...

@appnut That's very interesting that extra hot does allow a 140F wash as a work around. Still really odd that they actually aim to get to that temp, but still temper the fill down to below 120F. But gives you somewhat of a profile wash, nice. Just out of curiosity - what are the main wash...

Again: There is NO TECHNICAL WAY a normal, synchronous AC pump can just be a drop in replacement for an inverter pump. You can't run an AC 120V pump off of 26V DC. Neither the other way around. If you hook up the AC pump to the DC, nothing would happen - the pump would just sit and not move...

Again, from all I know, there is no way to replace the inverter pump with a regular one on an LG. The inverter ones are run on DC from the board, the regular ones with AC. You'd have to have an entirely different control board for that to work. Yes they are significantly quieter. You don't get...

You are absolutely right I totally forgot about the GE clones - yes you are absolutely right...

I think when they couldn't sell the matching dryers anymore, they stopped selling the TLs aswell. Many Americans would only consider matching sets. F&P didn't see enough sales to justify a redesign or major, new design. And F&P wouldn't rebadge another dryer - they just don't do that, it's not...

It really depends - would you be willing or interested in a heat pump dryer? Cause if that's something you'd be curious about (and I highly would recommend it), than an LG set would be the go to. The LG is probably a bit faster overall. TurboWash really is a great system. And given they've...

The drain pump is another case I think like the timer motor on your 1070. Fact is that the US is 60Hz vs 50Hz here. Such small synchronous motors depend their speed (and power usage) on frequency. Thus it isn't unlikely that such parts are US specific. That goes further down the line with parts...

I do think going old school wouldn't be a good idea in a commercial setting like that. Keep in mind probably no one there has significant knowledge of machine operations - neither of old or new. So saying just because it's a timer it'll be easier to service isn't really a valid way if reasoning...

BSH dryers (Bosch, Siemens, Neff, Constructa) of that timeframe don't have that secondary heat exchanger. Very few current dryers actually have - efficiency measure. However, as heat pumps got smaller and smaller, the pure heat transfer with that bit of airflow is enough to manage thermals...

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the Finish Quantum he says he uses. That detergent can suds quite a bit and these BSH DWs REALLY don't like sudsy detergent. It's kind of a design "flaw" (though not really) as once they are done load sensing at the beginning, they don't really check water levels...

Taking the assumption as given that we will have to go 0 emissions by some time before 2050 if at all possible: The one thing that gas dryers have going for them is that they are currently less CO2 emitting than normal vented electric dryers. Main issue is that for electricity, you convert gas...

Used is basically anything for a reasonable price near you. With a used appliance, I've always seen it as anything you get from it is great. If you just pay 100 bucks for a year of service, that's still a good service. LGs generally perform relatively well, fast and quiet. Since they are widely...

Many dryers over here have switched to plastic dryer doors, both inside and out, both see through or not. My mum has Beko (Arcelik) dryer which was the first one I encountered with a see-through plastic door. Must say: Was very skeptical at first and it certainly screams cost cutting. But after...

"Tupperdose" which word by word would translate to Tupper can or box is a German catch all for any reusable plastic food storage container.

If the rotor is contacting the back plate the only things I can think of is either the suspension or the bolt holding the rotor to the shaft being loose.

Might help This is the service manual to one of the very earliest Centum design machines, even if they weren't branded that way yet. Disassembly for yours will be significantly different, but the suspension is about the same...

Do you know for sure it's the motor rubbing somewhere? These centum machines have (or ar least used to have) balance rings fixed to the front and back of the drum. These could make a scraping sound. The rotor, stator and drum are fixed onto a plate containing the bearings, which in turn is...

I have a weird nerve in my shoulders that's not quite in the right place, resulting in agonizing pain when ever a certain muscle gets just the slightest bit tensed up. That's why I always sleep with a T-shirt on even if I wear nothing else, even in summer. Only thing that does help is heat, and...
