There should be several instructions online, just be careful to not change any settings you're not 100% sure you want to change, you can potentially brick the machine. There are 2 menus, the service menu with al the tests and fault code storage and the operation hour counter, and the second...

I think you're describing several issues here that just coincide. The suds locking issue is known from this series. There is a hose running from the drain system to the detergent drawer that is there to vent any air fron the pump. That can become clogged by residue over the lifetime of the...

I mean, these pumps are REALLY affordable. Dosen't even have to be a brand name one. If you can do it yourself (which really is easy) I don't see the point in scraping a machine because of a broken pump. Even if you want to get something new at that point, changing the pump and putting it up...

So there is actually a quite simple explanation why they had to create those big drum models. The new EU label introduced a max wash time which scales with load size to a max of 4h regardless of load size. It think north of 9kg you hit the 4h or something like that. This generation is...

What's really funny: Miele explicitly mentions under the usage table in the Swiss manual that all values are for 400V 2 phase connections. Yet ALL cycles take the exact same times as the 230V models in Germany do. I would not be surprised at all if that 400V connection does not do anything at...

Wait I am almost 100% the W1986 is 240V and so is the drain pump...

I would guess sudsing is a lesser issue - without clothes dropping as much, there's less air introduced into the laundry. Less whipping up, so to speak. I would be way more interested in the wash times for small loads. You can compensate for low mechanical action woth long wash times - but that...

That's really impressive, really. It's that typical roulette play where even a TOL appliance can be a dud - or in reverse, an "average" appliance can outlast any expectations. Amazing thing is that there still is nothing considerably "better" (be it feature or efficiency wise) in that class...

The T8001WP is COMPLETELY different to the W1. That's still a TwinPower dryer. 8 bath towels - depending on size - come out to (usually) no more than 8-10lbs, 5kg max. They are fluffy, but not terribly heavy. Further towels do dry pretty slowly regardless of dryer type. Again: 9kg is something...

I know certain EU combos use the drying heater for heating (certain newer BSH models, specifically). Don't understand why this couldn't - it wouldn't be very effective, but certainly faster than 1300W. Or why the electric model doesn't use 240V for washing heating - it would be some design work...

I mean, yeah, that was an obvious next step - really not sure why I never thought of that. Given they have the space for a complete heat pump system in that base machine, just chucking in a normal heater and maybe a bit larger fan isn't terribly hard to do. Would be curious as to how well that...

That's a new one to me... My first guess would be a problem with the pressure switch or the related control. If the machine senses a water level that's to high that might trigger a drain. Same might be the case with sudsing. There are many things LG machines somehow don't show error codes for.

Let's assume your washer or DW pulls 1W standby power. So 1000h is 1kWh. That's almost 6 weeks. A typical DW load uses just about 1kWh. Tell me ANY appliance that is plugged in constantly and only used once or twice in 6 weeks. Standby usage is real - but damn are you grasping at straws if...

You're absolutely right - totally missed how it's a wide angle spray kind of like the last gen Panasonic machines...

Typical, heavier cottons loads aren't really an issue. LG has that "speed bump" kind if design in the new machines and as long as laundry is heavy enough to have enough friction between drum and itself, the centrifugal forces are enough to lift the laundry up enough to at least tumble the loads...

I usually no longer chime into this kind of thread on here - but I'm already in a "picking fights" mood (even at work - rightfully so though), so what... "Water running out isn't an issue here" really encapsulates the issue with such discussions. It's not bad here, so how can it be a problem at...

How I envy tall tub DWs. I took those cup shelfs out of any DW I ever had. Just couldn't fit anything useful there with a third rack. That's one thing I love about tier 1 EU wash systems: If water can get there, it'll usually get clean. Something about the low water plus good filtering and...

I always found Woolite products over here to have a very specific smell that I loved. But finding them has become a challenge. And ordering through Amazon is very dear in most cases...

That rubber mat is part #0261 on the drawings and is basically glued to the inside of the front door and just hangs behind the bottom plinth #0673. All it does is keeping anything out from between the door and the plinth when the door is opended and to act as part of the noise isolation. You...

That's basically a rubber skirt ment to bridge any gap between the front and the plith at the bottom. It's usually ment to dampen some noise and to minimise any risk of getting anything cought in there like fingers. As long as you don't have any small children playing with the machine and the...
