LG WM6998 ALL-IN-ONE HEAT PUMP COMBO

[combo52]

A washer dryer combination

Is far simpler and has far less components than both a washer and a dryer, and it should be more reliable than a washer and the dryer.

You only have one main control board, one motor one set of drum bearings. The list goes on and on it is so much simpler to build a combination. Washer dryer.

And Jerome if you can’t stand the convenience of having the whole job done for you, you can set it just to wash and spin and then you can go back open the door, visit the clothes for a while and then turn it on again and let it dry.

amount of electronics

If I do need electronics in a washer, I don't need a boatload of them, just the ones I need to actually operate the machine. These manufacturers should consider using aircraft or automotive quality electronics. I will say they work fine in my electronic controlled appliances, but build them with quality please!

Jerome, how many typical consumers do you suppose can afford or would be willing to pay the up-front $$$$ for super-high-quality electronics in an appliance?

The dryer cycle includes reverse tumblink.

consumers affording electronics

If it was possible, all of them would want aircraft quality electronics that last. Personally, I know I would as there's a niche market which I consider being a part of. I want things to last and do their job properly, even if they're super fancy yet easy to use.

LG combo video review

Interesting I actually watched the whole thing because I’m laying here recovering from knee surgery to my right knee today.

I stopped counting at more than 100 mistakes. This guy made has some interesting information but he just assumes way too much and doesn’t know a lot about how machines are made and how they work when he makes ridiculous comments like he thinks the water heater is used to help dry close, and heats up to cause water to condense in the sump with a hot heating element in it, lol The water heater has to be covered with water to be energized. If it isn’t it will shut off almost immediately

It’s too bad that the heat pump unit is so underpowered it’s going to give these a bad name. It’s also obvious that the build quality of this machine is not as good as the GE. Of course the GE is not pinnacle build quality. No matter how you cut it. The LG machines are just cheaper looking inside even that direct drive motor looks cheap compared to the direct drive motor at Fisher Payco and whirlpool uses in their direct drive machines.

I also hate that somebody like this that’s supposed to be an expert can’t even convince his mother to dry three items of clothing in a machine that’s only going to get to 120° , even though my parents were both very smart they had enough sense to defer to us when it came to technical matters things that were supposed to know about. Taking a new machine apart like this does not avoid the warranty. This guy pretends to be a service guy, but he should know better, there is no law saying you can’t take your equipment apart and put it back together if you break it yes the warranty won’t cover that item, but they have to show that you caused the problem. Can you imagine such a ridiculous thing that if you did something to your new car that they would avoid the warranty on it manufacturers cannot get away with such stuff and he should know this.
