So it begins...

[logixx]

LG has new Top Loaders on it's web site. And new Front Loaders with & Motion Technology, too. Are those going to be the new Kenmores?

Oh finalmente!!!

GREAT! It's a really milestone...

 

[vivalalavatrice]

Better than...

those horrible squared front loading porthole but I wonder if they're DD motor either like european ones

 

[kenmore81]

I wonder if there a direct drive motor?

I think so, Im pretty sure they are just like thier LGmore sblings lol.

Harmony?

I wonder if these are rebadged GE Harmony machines. Since LG makes the Harmony, I don't think it is much of a stretch...

It's not an H-axis...

I am a major LG fan and am glad to see that they finaly got up the nerve to introduce these new models to the American market. The Harmony from GE is the only top loader I would have been interested in having if I had to have a top loading washer.now that LG has these available,I'll have to keep my eyes open and check out Smith's Appliance where the damaged ones from Lowes wind up going. They either repair or strip them for parts.The owner,Charlie,knows my interests and what I'm looking for and gives me great deals,sometimes free,on many different products.My Affinties rock and are beautiful in the office restroom area.There is a small 8X8 room you go through to get to the bathroom where the are set up and are used every day.everyone makes comments on them and asks where they came from.One girl said she needs to bring her husband over because his truck and motorcycle are both the same shade of red as these units and she wants a new washer and dryer.

Smoked Glass

It seems that several of the newer front loader models have the tinted glass doors. Perhaps Sears is a bad influence on LG...

???

The washers seemed to have disappeared from the website. Dryers are still there, yet

 

[nmassman44]

I tried to get info on the dryers but it says that the page does not exist. I wonder since the top load washers disappeared that they may as well.

 

[logixx]

Yes, the washer page did not exist, either. But you can get the manual for the 6-Motion washer. The model no. for the TL washer is WT5101HV

- 5.2 cu.ft.
- heater
- 1100 rpm
- WaveForce
- IIRC also has a sanitary cycle

Louis... I know unluckly
But now it seems to have been a joke to have seen those wonderful machines! They've disappeared from the website!!

They are selling the red Kenmore with TV commercials here, with guys doing cartwheels, and gymnastics to mimick the different motions. I really miss the salespeople in dress clothing and my little complimentary, plastic measuring cup with Sears Kenmore printed on it. The little cup even came in it's own cardboard box, with ton's of amazing Kenmore facts printed on it. alr2903

 

[logixx]

Okay, as of RIGHT NOW the dryers are back.

Flip Top Panel

There appears to be a flip top door on the top of the machine on the left hand side. Any idea what that is for? Steam perhaps?

 

[logixx]

Yes, it's the steam feeder. The manual can be downloaded under Support at the left-hand section of the monitor. Or try my link below.

One Thing

One Thing that bothered me about the screen on the LG set that I had was the arrows. There are arrows between each phase of the cycle, but they don't do anything. Never light up. Naddah. I wonder why they even bothered to put them there. Both the washer and the dryer behaved the same way. Wierd.
