LG WM3600 cycle times are SLLOOOOWWWWWW.

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Bob and I both have the WM4200.
your machine also weights your load WEIGHT and based on your soil level chosen, which determines your cycle time. Heavy Duty is a great cycle, it is a longer cycle for very soiled loads, along with Extra Hot, which I use frequently. Turbo Wash is just a name. It does what it's supposed to do, helps speeds up the cycle, which I use with all cycles also.

Your machine is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
 
I have the LG 4000 washer and dryer and my washer does not vibrate like this...then again I have a concrete floor and its not on a pedestal either. I find the shortest cycle times on the Normal cycle with TurboWash. The longest cycle and painfully so is the Towels cycle which I rarely use. The two cycles used most by me are Normal and Bright Whites. Both cycles use AI and it amazes me how well that works. I also use the High Speed spin setting as well with no issues. I have had my washer and dryer now for almost 2 years and they have performed flawlessly. In fact every LG appliance I have ...washer, dryer, fridge, electric range, dishwasher and microwave have been trouble free and all perform quite well.
 
Thanks

Thanks Appnut, Powerfin64, and Nmassman44 for your replies.

Nmassman44, I live in a house that was built in year 1926, which we bought in year 1976. Aside from (1) installing new vinyl tile flooring (in year 2000 or so) and (2) installing new shutoff valves (also in Feb when we got the new machine, because the old valves leaked and thy don't make those valves anymore) nothing (structurally) has been done to the laundry room since we bought the house. So given the fact the machine is on a pedestal, on a wood floor that is 47 years old (at least, I have no idea how old it really is), topped with vinyl tiles (which I read somewhere that LG specifically does not recommend), the machine is doing OK!
 
WM3600 Temp and Spin Speed Display

Thanks for all the contributions to this thread, especially appnut for providing details on cycle temperatures.

I have found that temperature and spin speed can be displayed on the WM3600 model by holding "Steam + Temp". In fact, you can then spin the dial to see 16 different outputs. So far, I can only tell that 1 is water temperature, and 2 is spin speed. I will continue to experiment, to see if I can figure out what some of the other numbers mean.
