yeah, Greg, there are points where a Siberian looses that undercoat, comes off like cotton, you almost created a second dog once your done brushing her out....at these times, they are high maintenance, between the dog and surrounding areas...
in any case, you shake out and remove as much fur before any blanket goes into the machine.....every bit helps....first I was using a Kenmore, mainly it was the self clean filters that got blocked, changed out several different versions, finally removed it completely....then the pump would eventually jam up....but this was the only machine that gave issues for longer fur.....
heres a new topic, matching the machine to the breed/animal....lol
for your LG, or any newer HE machine out there, all you can do it try several ideas/tricks to get a hotter wash or more water added....try turning off the cold for the first fill, and see what happens, most times you can get away with just a trickle.....just remember to turn it back on full pressure as the rinses are all cold...
yeah, mentally getting past a few things is difficult to comprehend.....in the 50/60's, washing of white cottons was hot water and bleach was the only way to get them clean....today realizing cooler temps work for something like this, granted bleach is a must, but the actual bleach rinse is done in cold....just boggles your mind from what your used to....
stick with vintage for as long as you can if that's what your used to.....the new age of machines is here, and their never going to go back to the old ways, unfortunately....its a quick jump into the HE world, as before switching from a wringer to an automatic was a slow transition, plus wringers were still available for a long time after that....you had a choice, today, your not given one....
