Well let me sum up my day yesterday. I'm over the moon. A former member and I have been emailing off and on since 2009. He knows how fascinated with cycles and how things progress. He shared with me some intricasies of his WM4500. What I learned from him is with these LG's you can start a cycle and have it do something you want and then pause it, chaange to another cycle or even modify/change wash temperatures, number of extra rinses, soil levels. Contrary to my Duet, chnging cycles doesn't cause water to drain out and cancel the cycle. Let me say, firstly I wasn't too thrilled about water temps for Normal cycle has Warm wash being 86F degrees and hot being round 95F to 100F degrees. Other cycles, target temps for warm is 90F and hot is 113F. 113 for hot is pathetic. But now, I can start out the cycle for extra hot temp and monitor temp with the delay wash & then temp button to show temp in C. I did this yesterday. I can also set up an actual true profile wash. fill with cold or col water and let it tumble for about 10 or 15 minutes with heavy soil on Normal. Then switch to extra hot so it begans heating. And when it reaches the temperature I want, then change the cycle to Whites, Towels, Perm Press, ... Yesteerday when I watched heating starting on Extra hot, I let it go through the whole cycyel. I maxed out all optionns. Starting time was 2:51. At 1:30 the wash cycle finished Temp reached a peak of 156F. I'm still wnting to experiment and see how hot temp will geet with light soil level. I'm so thrilled to have this control that's similar to the Duet's ability to select Steam for Stains and it fills with warm water and heat with the heater heating the wash water gradually hot and sanitize levels also in combination with steam. Now I cn be a button pusher again!!!!
