    LG washer died - look for old direct drive?

    thanks I wondered about Miele. I don't mind smaller loads; after all we will be empty nesters soon enough. I think durability is definitely king. Thanks for your input.

    LG washer died - look for old direct drive?

    Hi all, I posted 3-4 years ago looking for buying advice; ended up with a new LG FL with turbo and steam. It's been.... okay. But it's finally died and tbh I don't want to fix it. Here's what the problems have been: Turbo wash quit completely, so if I forget to cancel the turbo option, not...

    need to replace a washer for elderly parents

    thanks everyone I'm just now getting back to this - their old Kenmore TL is leaking and they think rusted drum but I'm not there... It's very old. I'm thinking late 80s early 90s - has wood grain controls lol. Mom is interested in a FL but added expense and I'd feel she'd possibly need a...

    need to replace a washer for elderly parents

    so I couldn't edit but I'm seeing that the SQ TC5 is the best top loader.... probably. All the LG look complicated but apparently have the best repair record for big box front loaders.

    need to replace a washer for elderly parents

    Hello, it's been a few years since I've been here. I own an LG front loader (purchased based on recommendations here) and overall I'm pretty happy with it. It has had some issues from the first year (never called service) but that's a topic for another thread! My elderly parents need a new...

    LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

    I just saw these messages! So I have been washing like mad here.... And I didn't see the messages about not stacking, so they are stacked! Hopefully won't need service in a long time. My original LG was fine. Install... well yes they came with their own rubber hoses! BUT the installers...

    Quick question on “dog dishes”

    Well I’ve been catching up on laundry and outside and just now logged in! Eddie I will watch the video when I get back home. I still haven’t looked at the drain hose! I have tried adding bleach and that does seem to help. I can try the vinegar too. No I never even thought about a commercial...

    Quick question on “dog dishes”

    Thank you. We definitely don’t have an air gap. I will go check the hose to see if it has a high loop. We’ve had a couple Bosches and they made a big deal about the high loop now that I’m reminded of it. I think we’re on our 5th dishwasher in 12 years. We run a few loads a day so not much time...

    Quick question on “dog dishes”

    Hmmm. I don’t know what an air gap is. Will have to research it. And I have cured it for short spans of time by adding bleach to the washer. And yes I have been fanatical about cleaning the dishwasher filter and interior. I’ve replaced the drain hose and changed the disposal when it broke. BUT...

    Quick question on “dog dishes”

    Can anyone identify with this? Do your clean, sanitized dishes and glasses ever come out of the dishwasher with the aroma of wet dog? I would do almost anything to fix this. I’ve changed dishwashers and detergent. I’ve dried the dishes and let them air dry. Sometimes I have to rewash the whole...

    LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

    They’re here!!! Beautiful. B.B. installers did a fabulous job. Unfortunately the cord I ordered is too short but they showed me how to swap dryer cords out... this ones a 6 footer and I’ll need another foot or two if I want to slide w/d to left wall. Laundry room has three coats robin’s egg...

    So I bought a washer - advice for installing it myself? Pick up tomorrow!

    Wow I’m surprised the tangent this went on. I don’t care about someone’s orientation or choice of family size... this was unexpected. I haven’t personally experienced dislike or judgment from the gay people I know. Maybe it’s a regional thing more than a cultural thing. I guess you learn...

    LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

    Hmmm that’s all extremely helpful! I did order the stainless hoses (was forced to) but I can return them afterwards. I’m excited! Two more days.

    LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

    I think it's decided After another snafu with BB (they'd charged me for 2 dryers and hadn't yet refunded any money from washer or dryer(s) - finally got it ironed out in person tonight), I placed yet another order, yes from BB. Are you ready? I ordered the 4370 LG washer and dryer. With...

    LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

    vent run I clean it from the outdoor side with one of those extendable brushes... I try to do the same from the house side with it but too many turns. I've blown it out from house side with a leaf blower. Nothing works 100% . The run is smooth metal but was put together with sheet metal...

    LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

    Thanks y'all. I'm getting bleary-eyed reading about washers lol! I watched a YouTube video last night called "don't buy this washer" about the maytag 3505 and I guess every current WP and MT FL. It was about the bearings not being replaceable - you have to replace the whole drum unit. But...

    LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

    I'm confused. None of the machines say Maxima or Duet. So isn't this a Maxima? Any front load Maytag? And is a Duet just any front load Whirlpool? This has added steam I see.... Concerned about long cycles. But tbh I think I've actually learned how I should wash in a front loader. I...
