LG F1406TDSP6

[newwave1]

Well I had a short lived experience with my Dyson as I was browsing eBay & found this immaculate lg steam nearby for the same amount I paid for the Dyson!

I've wanted another LG since my ex took off to London with my children & my LG in tow over a year ago.

I got the Dyson on eBay & sold it right away.

When I got the lg I was disappointed as the recirculatory jet was making a god awful grinding noise & not spraying. I had a quick look but a testament to the build quality, the machine has a separate chassis which the suspension is mounted on, I though rather than mess about I would get onto the seller who came out yesterday, cleared the pump & now it's fully working!

It's great to have steam again & I forgot how good it really was!

Cycle times are great & I love having a machine with a recirculatory jet again.

I only did one towel load last night, it seems to be the same in operation as my last lg which I'm pleased about.

As I didn't want to stand on my head to watch that picture I turned it upside down.

Nice machine!

Cheers Louis!

You're welcome Darren. I see there are a lot of rinse options. What does the medic rinse do?

 

[logixx]

And ho much time does the 40°C medic rinse add on?

Nice LG Darren,
I remember seeing LG's that had a simular styling also avalible in Pink and Blue, but I think they were washer dryers. Currys sold them IIRC.

Hi guys

Louis; you can do up to 5 rinses! Medic rinses is a 15 minute 40 degree final rinse which is really really effective and it is so odd taking warm laundry out of the machine!

Tom: my model was sold in all those colours. I used to sell them when I worked in comet. This model is a 2nd generation model, think it only came in the black, silver & white options.

That medic rinse is interesting. I have never seen any other frontloader with such a warm rinse.

medic rinse...

Most half decent LG front loaders have it. My 4 year old 7kg LG front loader has it. I've used it was and was quite impressed. Not only do you get a WARM rinse, but the water level also increases, which is very rare these days.
Enjoy your new toy, Darren, I'm a big LG fan. Is yours the 8, 9 or 11kg version? Here in SA the 9kg and 11kg came in black, now only silver or white as black didn't really take off

LG Mega Capacity

I bought a great LG Mega set a few months ago and they are my favorite new machines of all time! The washer does two KING SIZE bed spreads and has an interior light you can turn on to watch. It spins 1300RPMs and goes either way depending on the tub's balance. I always wonder what new appliances LG will be introducing to the market next?

I've had an lg that was brand new 2 years ago & it was my favourite machine to date! I'd happily say they are my favourite modern brand! Very innovative!

Couldn't agree more, newwave! I love the drum size on my LG 7kg f/load. I can quite comfortably get 4 bath sheets, 7 hand towels and 2 face cloths in 1 load. And clothes wise, almost as much as my 13kg top loader. At the moment I've got a samsung 13kg top loader, Whirlpool heavy duty tumble dryer, 7kg LG front loader and 7.5kg LG tumble dryer. But on saturday I'm getting rid of the whirlpool and replacing it with the LG 10.2kg tumble dryer - can't wait!
The LG products available here in SA are simply stunning and I'm sure they'll just get better with time.

Ok so I have had abit of a faff with this machine.

I bought it from a dodgy outfit who charged quite alot for a machine it looks like they did nothing too.

When I got it home the recirculatory jet wasn't working, the sump was full of coins & bits.

They came & cleared that. Then I used it for the first time & it span really violently to the point my 4 year old & 3 year old were holding my ears. My man wasn't too happy I'd sold a working Dyson machine to get it either!!

I tried to contact the seller who wanted no part in it. I got them to end the auction to buy it so I could have it.

Luckily my dear friend out own Austin Ozzie908 a former engineer now only for fun came to my aid!

Last night we stripped the machine down to its bones and it was clear it had not been put back together properly or very tightly.

We realighed the suspension and unseized the feet and now it does not move and is silent! I love it again!

Check out the video of the post repair and see how still it is with a load of towels!

Only too glad to be able to help out )

It was also quite fun taking an LG apart as had never had one to bits before but now I can quite honestly say I know this one most intimately...lol
It sure sounds quieter in that video than it did before we dismantled it )
