The drain access was the only downside... That was my only hesitation with this unit- Even the new Whirlpool FL washers have drain access on the front panel. The door gasket seems pretty solid (likely won't let things slip through) but taking the control panels and the front panel off to get to...

Good eye... Yes, that's a 650T in the background. Not pictured is the Wally-Flex in the bathroom - It'll hopefully make cleaning the hinged lint filter a little easier! I'm hoping for a better lint trap design - the LG would get a build up of lint in the bottom of the tray and then it...

Hey folks, I haven't seen much discussion of these models on here. I've had a MOL LG front load washer (about 5 years old) and a 10 year old LG gas dryer that was stacked on top. The LG developed this really odd pitting/ rough surface inside the drum the would snag shirts and delicates-...

I was just thinking about this All of my Kenmore dryers had the lint filter on the front, inside of the door. My latest (old) Kenmore and my LG are the same way- filter on the front. My parents had an old (mid 70s) Kenmore set for a long time, and the lint filter was on the top. I think the top...

I’ve had a KitchenAid KDI-18 in my kitchen since I bought my house about 4 years ago. It’s worked flawlessly, but I’ve been looking to get a quieter model, since the kitchen is open to the living and dining rooms. I found a mid-range Thermador for sale on FB Marketplace- Couple didn’t like that...

A mute button isn't just for TV's and commercials... I have a newer LG front loader set, and the ability to turn off chimes has made them much more enjoyable to use. I personally don't like buzzers or any type of noise from my laundry machines for end of cycle, or cycle selection. My old...

Concentration settings are NOT intuitive So, her detergent setting was set to the lowest concentration (maximum for the dispense) as Jeff said. She buys a 141oz container that's good for 94 loads according to the bottle- so, for the logic it states 1.5oz per load. I could change the...

I've got a bit of a conundrum with my mother's new Maytag washer. Model MHW8630HW It has the optimal dose detergent drawer, and automatically dispenses detergent during all the wash cycles. She has it set to the lowest concentration setting, as she uses All detergent without perfumes or dyes...

Automatic Wrinkle Control I'd wish for automatic wrinkle control on clothes dryers. My old mid 90s WP/Kenmore gas dryer (as well as some early 2000 electric models I owned before) would automatically tumble clothes intermittently for 90 minutes after the cycle. The newer LG set I own now allows...

Moisture sensor input is the key I've used both permanent press and delicate on my DLGX3701, and the logic around the moisture sensor is different between the two cycles. Delicate won't "dry" the load out as much, which is great- I've got elastic chair covers that need very light drying. Even...

I'd stay away from external dispensers... at a minimum I'd agree with CircleW, as long as there's no ice or water in the French door, they should have similar reliability to bottom freezer fridges. That being said... the gaskets and door mullion system add a level of unnecessary complication...

Color-centric white (brought out from the 70s) When I moved in to my place, it had a white GE top-freezer fridge, a harvest gold 36" range hood and matching 30" GE range (guessing the old 36" range had been replaced), and an avocado KitchenAid DW. I've swapped the appliances out (or changed...

I figure the (2) 20A circuits is overkill- but, since I have the wall open, I'd rather put the circuits in now, than have to pull one in later. After reading the dryer specs, it wants a 15A circuit. I know that (by code) in my area, at least one 20A is required for the laundry area. They are...

I've been doing a lot of research on this lately, and have been looking for better/ more efficient ways to vent a gas dryer in my remodeled laundry room/bathroom. I decided to get a stackable front loader and use the space where the dryer was to put an alcove shower. Moving to a stackable...
