I tried what you suggested. Washer empty, regular cottons at 95º took about 5 min to reach 60º and 2:20 hours displayed on the panel with heavy soil option. Water entered at 52º. It stopped heating as soon as 60º was reached and the temperature started to go down immediately.

At the moment I´m trying the Cotton Eco 95º with heavy soil level and the panel displayed 4:14 hours. I´ll let you know the results.

Cotton Eco 95º

It heated the water until 67º stopped heating and the temperature began to descend. Maybe the control panel is mistaken. The cotton regular reaches lower temperatures than the Cotton Eco. I´m now used to it. If I need hotter water and better results I´ll use the Crolls.

67 degrees Celcius is the same temperatures some AEG's would achieve on the 95 degrees Eco cycle. On others the temperature control had an "E" setting at 67 degrees.

Sorry, overead that you have written the thing about the transformer.
@dj-gabriele : He wrote himself that there is an 120V input and a 220V output on the transformer. So i was not sure because i thought, they would have 220V, to. And by the way: What about Cyprus or Great Britain? Both are 110V.
But again, so the 60° Normal cotton reaches 60°, the 95° setting but only 60°? In that case, i would recomend you calling LG and tell them about it. Cause if they say, that would be normal, i would try to find out if that is the same here in Germany. Just have to find someone that has the same machine.

LG temperatures.

On the Normal cotton 60º reaches 50º, and the 95º reaches 60º and the max time displayed is 2:20 hrs. On the Cotton Eco 60º reaches 60º, and 95º reaches 67º and the max time displayed is 4:14 hrs. The rest of the temperatures are reached as stated.

I have noticed that when selecting 60º or 95º makes the machine to have hot water income maybe so it could reach the temperature faster and to be more energy efficient. Cold, 30º and 40º settings use only cold water income and heats it up.

The transformer is just for the motor, not for the entire machine. It heats up the water, and makes the rest of the functions on 127 volt. Great britain also has 220 volts.

 

[dj-gabriele]

What about Cyprus or Great Britain? Both are 110V.

You're WAYYYYY WRONG.
Both are harmonized to the universal European voltage 230V at 50HZ.
Even if actually in the UK in some zones is 240V because of older apparatus for the former standard.

And btw, he's in Mexico and not Spain according to what he said.

Sorry! Went wroooong!

Yes, your right. And enven through :
50° at 60° setten is okay, but 60° at 95°??? Would not accept this at all. Ask LG. Really, this is not ok. 10° or 20° maximum to low, ok, but whole 35° to low, that cant be normal , i think. Let it check through by LG and well se what they say.

I understand you, but the tech support here is a mess. They don´t know their machines. Technicians here are not compromised with their job. I really don´t want to fight with anyone. I would rather appreciate someone here to tell me, by perfectly knowing the machines functionality, if my control board is wrong or maybe the thermistors and if there is anyplace I could get them. I can afford to pay for this parts myself rather than waiting for a stupid guy to come and tell me that the washer is OK. They don´t know what to press so that the display shows you the actual water temperature and if I tell them how, I will loose its warranty for misusing it. I know people here. I´ve been there. The good thing is that it gets clothes beautifully clean and white.

I know LG in Mexico and yes they don't know what they have. Once I bought one. Call them for service, no answer, send it back to the shop, money back, go to Miele for wash and dryer and after 2 months LG was calling asking what was wrong with the washer. Maybe after almost 5 years LG is Still thinking that I still have their machine. I love Miele machines, 2500 hrs working, no problems and most important... Miele people knows what they sell and how to repair it.
Get your money back or sell it and go with a Miele.
