LG WashTower Single Unit, 2 Drums

[jaums]

What Bob says about the tub lights is correct--holding one of the buttons on the panel for 3 seconds turn the light on for 4 minutes.

I agree the light should be able to be on for the duration of the cycle. It must be an LED . . ..

As far as the Turbo I feel like there are very few instances when it would be detrimental to have it on.

As for this all-in-one vs stacking, my long-time thought that with individual machines you don't have to replace both if something goes wrong with one, but, when stacked you probably do because you can't stack machines not designed to be stacked with each other.

My situation is such that the machines are out in the open (as opposed to in a laundry room or closet) so having miss-matched machines would drive me crazy. So when my 2005 Kenmore washer died recently, here I am finding it necessary to also replace the still-working dryer.

I would love to see a video of dismantling this machine as for repairs. I would hope repairs can be done without removing the dryer, and be done by one Tech.

Having all controls in the middle is very convenient. I'm fairly tall but could not read everything on my previous stacked dryer without a step stool.

In my opinion,

turbowash should be used at all times.

Self Test?

Anyone know how to activate test mode? What I have seen for LG says to hold down 2 buttons while turning on using the power button, but this has no buttons. Everything is touch, only the 2 power buttons are visible until it's turned on.

No problems, would just like to see each function.

Nice set!!

I would have bought this one if my Neptune didn’t die! I was stacking anyways so this would have been the perfect pick.
Though, I really like my 4370 set. Very fast and efficient!

 

[jaums]

Similar

So, your 4370 set is probably very similar.

Seems to me LG has a LOT of models that are pretty much the same.

No button for the light.

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Is the button labeled light or is this some secret code you need to know?  Does anyone know if there is a secret sequence of events on a Miele W1 washer to get the light to come on while it's washing?  I don't have a button for this and I've been through the book and don't see a setting to do anything with the light.</span>

Congrats! Glad the experience was a positive one.

Saw the black/dark grey version yesterday evening, very impressive. The styling is outstanding, control panel is intuitive and bright.

 

[jaums]

Ah, where did you see it?

Yes, when you turn on the power, everything for that component, washer or dryer, on the control panel lights up; no issues with reading, a complaint by some for other LGs.

And, yes, I like the simple but bold styling.

Hi Jaums!

Still enjoying the Washtower - am looking at it for myself

May I ask whether the dryer reverses on the the "Bedding" setting to avoid sheets balling up?

Many thanks

Greetings Washer Fans!

Jaums - still enjoying the washtower?

Does the Dryer reverse on the Bedding program to avoid balling-up of sheets?

I've never seen any mention of any U.S. marketed dryer reversing on bedding cycle other than F&P's top load dryers. Well, Frigidaire's in late 1980s early 1990s.

I'm getting the cousin dryer in the washtower delivered on Tuesday. I doubt the bedding/bulky cycle does reverse tumbling.

Reverse Tumbling Dryers

I have never seen any reason a dryer needs to reverse when running, it is certainly clear the the worlds best dryers never reversed.

 

To make a dryer reverse it makes it more complicated, it takes longer to dry and it is less reliable.

 

In fact the only reason Front Load washers reverse is because it does not cost one cent extra to make them reverse, but it actually does very little good for them to reverse.

Thanks for the input Gents!

I'm guessing due to the dryer's large capacity drum balling would then not occur? I dry a lot in bedlinen (Europena sized machines 27' i think ) and in these if the dryer doesn't reverse then the sheets ball up within minutes - v annoying.

 

[appnut]

Brendon, I'll let you know my experience with sheets, but it may take a couple of weeks before I have a chance to dry a full load of sheets.

 

[suds]

Dryer reverse

Ok cool, couple of weeks. How long between washes !? Surely weekly or am I treading on precarious ground here !! Lol

Bob, GE had dryers that reversed.  The last redesign F&P had on the U.S. market (when they upped the AquaSmart and Eco Smart to 22 lbs capacity), before they dropped all topload laundry, the matching dryers (AeroCare) were a rebadge of the GE as per F&P established pattern, SmartLoad notwithstanding.  The TOL F&P model had reverse tumble like its GE sibling.  Reverse tumble was a selectable option, not inherent to the operation like SmartLoad.

 

[appnut]

Thanks Glen, I never knew about those dryers.

 

[logixx]

Those GE dryers were nice: two motors, built-in drying rack and clothes hanger. The design was a choice, though.

If I remember correctly.......

.....didn't Electrolux make a big deal about their reversing dryers 10 or 15 years, ago? Recall the sales people at Lowes making a big deal about it.
