Cutting the cord

We have to cut the cord off over here in case the scrap man plugs it in and gets a shock. Scrap dealers are often called toters over her now sure why, They rome the streets in pickup trucks looking for anything of value
 
Although it was not near a "Salon" of sorts, maybe a home business, it was loaded underneath with long red hair, wrapped around everything, I was scared to put my hand in there to remove the belt, and almost like someone Hairsprayed the lint and hair in place.....beyond GROSS!.....

I first hooked it up, put it thru a test run, everythig seemed fine, and could not believe someone thru something out like this that worked, there was a strange smell as if something burnt, which I figured was lint and such on the electric coils, after about the third load, then it happenned, this unheard of screaching and squeeling, so I ventured inside, and found this mess, and hair wrapped around everything, like a massive cobweb, packed around the rollers, which were seized, a massive cleanout, and lube, back together, and so far, One Happy Camper of a machine.....

no sight of the washer, but after seeing and hearing this machine, I am curious to have one......just not so sure from this same house, if this is what the dryer looked like, imagine the rest of the house!

these machines appear to be all "GLAM", inside was no suprise, I would have liked to see more heavier guage of metal, especially for the price they charge for these, but not eveyone takes note of this stuff, like we would...

beggars can't be choosy, but I would have liked it to have been a GAS model...
 
quietness

That is interesting that it is so quiet. I have a Frigidaire Affinity, product of Electrolux, and while it isn't as bad as it could be, it makes the typical droning type of blower sound. That kind of gets to me after a while, but it does an otherwise pretty good job.
 
I had that kind of sound when I owned a Frigidaire TallTumbler stacked set.....there was something about the blower on those dryers that made a sound that would be annoying while it ran....

this droning about best describes it.....

but on the LG I found, I had to open it to clean it out, but also wanted to have a looksee as to what made it so quiet, and didn't find anything out of the ordinary of any other dryer....just some dampening pads wrapped around the drum.....but otherwise, no insulation what so ever.....just interesting to be so quiet
 
I one time had a Samsung set that went bad and it was under warrenty and I called the company and they refunded my money on the set but they made me cut the cord onthem and mail it back to them with the model and sereal number sticker to receive my refund and it was my responsibility to dispose of them (place them out on the curb or have them picked up by the company that sold me a new one) they pedestals on them so I sold the pedistals and gave them the broken washer and Dryer and they fixed them.
 
Our Samsungtag Neptune dryer is a very quiet dryer once it's all warmed up. (used to be quiet on startup too when it was new but that was nearly 7 years ago and I've yet to perform any work to it yet) Only sound is the drum turning and the burner starting, it's right in a closet in the kitchen and never really notice it running even if your standing right next to it.

Perhaps it's a Korean thing?
 
LG's a better design

LGs drums are Rolled and welded better then most other companys also the motors feild coils very close and the placeing of the rollers is far enough where the drum wont vibrate.
 
lg dryer

I would've snagged it immediately! Their dryers sure do have powerful blowers. I noticed this with my mom's lg when I walked in the backyard. When I walked by the deck, you could kind of feel the air and definitely hear it. Yet the dryer was so quiet when I stood right in front of it.
