Seems like my batch is perfectly fine. Dafna was always very helpful even when USPS messed up - try an e-mail, they'll certainly help.

Well, am guessing it fills with cool rather than pure cold; amount of wash water is so low I can actually see it happening. Heavy Duty spins after main wash and before last rinse. Normal just before last rinse. Casual just after main wash.

Probably the best machine I have ever used. Recently moved and treated myself with a new piece of equipment. Gone through various European front loaders, my building's commercial Neptunes, landlord-provided Summit Combo, GE Spacemaker TL, Whirlpool DD, Kenmore DD, and now this. None of the...

I get my phosphates from the same store, expecting a delivery today - that's a little worrying! AM guessing it could be contaminated by calcium sulfate? It should precipitate in the process of making STPP but steps could have been skipped.

Well then just like you said you "prefer" it. No one ever forced you to choose what you don't prefer. I consider this forum a fantastic read and source of information. Yet, just so you know, I've been *researching* modern front-load washers to find the one that suits me for over a year. Of...

I agree cold water won't really help with removing grease, unfortunately. Fels Naptha or any sort of actual soap should help. My personal favorite is coconut Kirk's. Biz is a good idea; however it only contains a very small amount of percarbonate and mostly depends on washing soda with a bit of...

While working on recipes for my cookbook *plenty* of aprons, towels and such required proper washing technique, took a minute to figure out a satisfying one. Powder used was Premium Plus from Biokleen, which I find the best from what more eco-friendly laundry has to offer. It actually beats...

@henene4, that would make sense regarding the temps. Cycle description, however, would be much appreciated. Especially when thinking about people switching from 2-speed traditional top loaders, a lot of misunderstanding could be avoided. Provided they'd actually read the manual...

It seems like LG uses a heat pump to save some warmth from exhaust air. Honestly, it's not a bad idea considering the compromise between time and energy efficiency, and that most people looking for a dryer already have a vent. Sad to agree figuring out how an appliance works is a pain. Went...

Well Seems like we share very similar attitude Rapunzel. Wish I was a member with a history long enough to speak my mind as bold *LOL*. Thank you.

Seems like someone needs to stop posting before going thru the whole *LOL* Found out it has a 'Save Energy' button which is supposed to "help save energy using heat pump air recirculating technology". Am REALLY curious if it switches the operation to completely ventless or still expels some...

However Quick look through the manual reveals it requires both venting and drain exhaust. Utopia is over, not a ventless unit.

Was positive only Whirlpool and LG had one of those fancy units available. Slowly starting to look for a new laundry pair since moving soon, and matching Whirlpool washers didn't satisfy me with their lack of Hand Wash cycle(an absolute must-have, even before a heater). Found a Kenmore heat...

I haven't used regular fabric softener for at least 5 years. Vinegar seems to work marvelously, additionally setting-in dyes and removing any leftover odors or detergent residue. Any product with phthalates, synthetic fragrances or such is never going to make it to my apartment. Recently been...

Being the main ingredient of most pets' urine, ammonia acts as a solvent, since like dissolves like. It's the only additive that can actually help getting rid of cat's spray. I pour some in an empty spray bottle and saturate underarm areas of shirts well to remove antiperspirant stains...

WHAT? It took me three cigarettes to get over that fact. Was planning on buying a loft(ish) apartment withing the next 5 years, and getting almost everything from F&P (only thing would be a Miele G7856 I absolutely loved using a couple of years ago). Why on earth would F&P sell their brand to...

Only use I can see is using that little tap to add extra water to the basket. Such sink is too small to soak anything, unless we're speaking two socks or a lacy T-shirt, size XS. Also, draining the soak/pretreat solution would easily cause a splash all over the lid and drawer, leaving white-ish...

I think, looking at the control panel, it was the Rinse & Spin. Wouldn't such an idea cause a massive out-of-balance?

Wonder If that was the case of all the exploding LGs. Does it really keep spinning after being powered off? I couldn't hear any difference in the sound. Hunting for a washer in a month or two, a Neptune or an older Duet is a way to go then.

you mean the cabinet under the sink, or the cheesy photoshopped agitation? lol
