LG TurboWash

IIRC, the 2011 Samsung FL my sister has produced ~85°F for Warm on Normal (with 140°F tap hot input), and ~95°F on Hot.  I don't recall what soil level during the test when I refurbed it, probably mid-level/normal.  Delicate had a warmer warm than Normal.

You'll find this phasing in every manual, even from years ago. Well, at least they are honest about it.

If you select NORMAL or HEAVY DUTY, you may notice the washer supplying cold
water. This is normal because the machine is designed to reduce power consumption. In
these cycles, the water temperature for Level 5 is similar to bath-water temperatures,
and Level 3 is similar to comfortable swimming pool temperatures.

LG WashTower water heating

Some additional info from the monitor:

When heating was on during the Normal cycle, the monitor showed about 790 watts. Heating during the Sanitary cycle, it showed about 1000 watts continuously through the wash cycle.

Tumbling seems to use about 290 watts. Highest spin, 350 watts.

Really does seem to be HE on electricity to do everything except heating. A drum full of wet laundry is pretty heavy & it's starting and stopping, changing direction--"6 motion direct drive" + turbo pump on and off, all for less than 300 watts.

Hi John, The SQ Stack will use all hot water if you select hot, being so close to the WH you will get great results with it.

 

I am loving my new SQ FL washer, It works great and does not fool around balancing etc.

There is a key combo you can use to check the water temp. Hold down the temp button and then try pressing each button on the left side of the control panel until it displays the temp (in degrees C). You should be able to display the RPMs by holding down the spin speed button and the same button you did to display the temp.

On older models the delay wash button along with temp or spin speed would be the correct combo. Not sure what it is on the wash tower since it has fewer buttons.

Nice John!

Nice John! I love the stainless! I’m definitely leaning in the direction of speed queen.

Thanks for reporting back Jaums. Tons of great info there! Something people can index for reference many years down the road!

John!

Please start a new thread about your Speed Queens. They sure are beautiful! It looks like the top is also stainless steel? What about the sides? I'd love to see more pics of them.
