Re: My Suggestion:
I would like to suggest doing what I did, except for a slightly different set-up. I've got an LG Compact Combo, that I really like and have had no problems per-say with. I bought it about 4-years ago and I had a Dolly {with all 4-locking wheels} professionaly made to roll it around on and I put a Portable Washer Faucet Coupler on it. I ended up after a while of not wanting to always using the Unit for both Washing and Drying of Laundry, getting a Compact Portable Kenmore 110-Volt Dryer and placed it on top of my LG Combo. I put the Rubber Cups, used on Crutches on the Level Legs, to prevent the Dryer from sliding off of the Washer/Dryer, when the Combo was on the higher Spins and any kind of excessive vibrations. When my Laundry is finished in the Wash Cycle, I re-set the Combo for an additional Spin, at the Max-1400-RPM so the Laundry doesn't take near as long {believe it or not} in my Kenmore Portable. I can Dry a pretty heavy load of Towels, even with more than I should put in all at once and they are Dry within approx 1-hour, longest.
Yes, "BTW" I do know quite well, about what Peteski has gone through with the Combo that he had and I feel sorry for his having to go through all of that. He had a full-size LG Combo, where mine is the Compact Combo and mine seems like it was made somewhat better, as far as to how the Glass Window and the Tub Seal are connected when the Door is closed, making a much better seal to them. I think that towards the end of what Peteski was going through, the Pump was starting to act-up as well, because there was a Leak coming from under the Cabinet. Peter, I hope that you don't mind my including a little info about what you went through, into my Posting.
Anyway, if you have funds to look into a Fron-Load Washer, a Compact Dryer and a Dolly, I would suggest looking into either a full-size Frigidaire or Kenmore "Frigdemore" or a Compact Maytag "2000" series Washer and a Whirlpool or Kenmore 110-Volt Compact Portable Dryer and do what I did. I really like the cleaningability of my LG Compact Combo and the extra Dryer on top of it. "BTW" I do once in a while, mainly to keep everything operating, I run a full Cycle in the Combo, but I still run it through a Wash Cycle first and then run the extra Spin at the 1400-RPM Speed, then I re-set the Combo for the Drying Cycle.
If you were to look into at least the LG Compact Combo, I will let you know, that if you are to run it as a full Cycle, without any further inturruptions, mine including Wash, Dry and Cool-Down takes at least 7-hours to complete the full Cycle. That is why I decided to place a Compact Dryer on top of it, to help me get through my Laundry, a whole lot faster. I also bought my Compact Dryer 2nd Hand for $100.00 at a nearby Appliance Shop. My Dolly cost me at a Welding Shop $250.00 and my LG Combo new 4-years ago was $1100.00. they've gone up a couple/few $100.00 since I bought mine.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. If you would like to contact me about any further info, please use my
