Roscoe ~ You KNOW I'll be looking for those restrictors if they're there. If so, out they go, and I'll let you know, but if you see the pic of the inlet above, the pressure is strong. Intrigued.

THANK GOD FOR EDIT. HOLY FECES. I LEFT SOME INADVERTENT FECAL MATTER.
Thank you Alexander the Great. I get right on that crap NOW ;'D
So as not to tease and leave: For "Tub drains and shuts off," I first wrote "Tub drains and sh!ts off.

I add the LCB in the correct place, no problem there. It just seemed like it introduced it into the wash phase.
I'm not convinced these machines really do push "steam" through the clothes when using a steam-oriented cycle. I think it's just activating the internal water heater to bring the water up to a high temperature. That's my guess anyway.

My guess as well. How is it really supposed to steam clothes anyway with no steam generator? Might work like on the FrigiLux washers that immerse just the heating element in some water and then steam clothes from below.

John, you wrote in Post # 41
"I did add LCD to the proper area in the inner-left area of the pull-out dispenser, and it seems like it dispensed most of it right away. I thought it was supposed to introduce the LCB into the rinse cycle? "
I didn't mean that you put it in the wrong dispenser. What your wrote suggests you thought the machine added beach during the rinse; it doesn't ! Bleach always comes in during the wash cycle. I thought this was common knowledge, and I'm trying to show you bleach IS SUPPOSED TO go in during the wash phase.
Alex & John ~ I agree the stream seems like gimmickry, but the glass does get awfully hot, and I'm sure we'll all figure it out.
By the way, a thank you or at least an acknowledgment for the upgrade would be nice.

I'm sure we'll continue contributing to each other's progress in finding the ins & outs of these modern LG clothes washers.

Are technically supposed to introduce, Chlorine Bleach, sometime during the last 10 minutes of the wash cycle. But, one finds, if you're not careful, and use more than 1/2 cup, it dispenses in seconds.
Honestly, I've found it easier, to just run another cycle, with Bleach as needed, than trust the dispenser. You really want the Detergent to have a go at the dirty laundry, before the bleach does. I think the Dispenser, was just simply poorly designed.

Whirlpools dispense the bleach during the first rinse. Naturally, if there's only one deep rinse, the bleach has to be dispensed during the wash - like Mieles do.
So, what happens with steam selected? Does it fill some and then tumble while heating? You might want to try this once with an empty drum (and maybe even the door open
) to see what exactly goes on.

With regard to Allergiene, yes it fills and then tumbles, maybe slower than usual or maybe not, until it reaches the targeted temperature and then the turbojets activate and normal agitation ensues for however long the wash cycle is. That's my impression anyway. Other cycles with "steam" I can't comment on.

Hello Roscoe, I read the manual which is unusually forthcoming about the inlets, making much ado about the filters, and the warning not to remove them. Now this is about filters not flow restrictors, about which there is no mention, nor any pix of them in the diagram. No scanner here, so I can't show you. Hope to find a way later.
John & Alex. Steam in progress; magic key in door lock, with door mostly closed by magnetized anti-mold device. I just opened the door, and the machine is full of steam, hard to perceive through the glass, but once the door is open, I got a nice facial.

The steam just keeps billowing out
like a big boiling pot. Hard to see in pix but covincing in the flesh. Streaming up across control dial, over left panel scripts, up and over the dispenser drawer, ever upward.

Nice!
How much time does Steam add on? Where does the steam come from - underneath the drum? Was there water in the drum? This happens before the actual wash cycle?

inlet filters
are to be removed for cleaning only,removing them may cause leaks and malfunctions is what the manual says. It also warns of an error message if there is weak water pressure in the detergent drawer or a clogged inlet filter. There is a filter on the other side of the inlet filter, so I can't reason why this machine requires two filters, unless the orange filter is the actual restrictor?

Nice!
Truly enlightening: it really works. I thought it was "The Emperor's New Clothes!" The whole house smelled like Persil because after I left the door open, the steam just kept pumping out. It was amazing.
The steam breathes forth from the top--I THINK--more study required.
Just the usual low level of about 2 & 1/2 gallons--but that was without anything in the drum to absorb any water. Guessing that a load would have been wet but not sloshing.
The Allergeine cycle time was 136. Don't know about the Steam buzzer pressed for other cycles; haven't tried.
Hey, Thanks, there's a lot here to learn. Now I'm really interested where before I was a doubting Thomas.

Hey Alex, the next time I have people over who have terrible gas and flatulence, I'll run down and do a door open Allergieeeeeeeeene!

Real steam! My Frigidaire simply heats the water and tumbles for an extra 20 minutes. Granted, this helps remove stains, but not because of steam, per se. It's the extra 20 minutes of tumble time that does the trick. Oh, and the 'steam' occurs during the 1st rinse, not the wash cycle on my washer.
Thanks for the photos and further investigations into the LG's many features, mickeyd.

Real Steam, Eugene. Imagine!!!
Last night I tried the Cold Wash, a cycle the booklet claims uses six motions: Tumbling, Rolling, Stepping, Scrubbing, Swing, and Filtration. Guessing that the rather violent back & forth agitator like swings of the tub describe the "Scrubbing" motion, but then what is "Swing" ? This was the first viewing. When I tried it before on another cycle none of this happened; the cycle must have been too short. For this Cold Wash experience, I used Cottons/Normal. Fun to watch. Definately movie worthy.
Wish I could pipeline you some steam.

Found five of the six motion. Filtration is missing and is the combined spin/spray to saturate the clothes with detergent solution.
