Like most people, we were looking forward to a fresh new start in the new year, but this week it became a literal fresh new problem. Our washer and dryer broke down on the first load of the year and our replacement didnt' go as smoothly as planned. Amy gets a chance to play in the snow and test out perfect boots for snowshoeing!

The gremlins just won't leave you alone! They lurk in dark corners plotting how to snafu you.

Maybe Bryan is having a streak of bad luck. I tried the outlet again and the dryer powered on & ran fine.

Might want to change the door swing of the dryer to match the washer. Easy to do and will make moving loads from washer to dryer easier.

We talked about that. But interestingly the doors stay open and don’t try to shut on you.

Hi Amy and Brian I just got an LG wm6700hba washer I like the machine but in my opinion uses way to little water, I’m using the towels setting which seems to add a decent amount of water, there’s a pressure switch under the top panel at the back top of the machine that can be adjusted, there’s a whole bunch of glue holding it down so if I can remove the glue great but I believe I’m probably going to have to cut some of the plastic around the plastic screw, I’ll probably wait until warranty up unless it drives me crazy before then, but besides using towels setting only issue it’s great has the automatic dispenser and got the matching pedestal washer as well, those boots I’m just wondering if you sell them from your home, I mean I see in your area there’s a lot of mud and your in mountainous country I know I would like a good pair and hate going shopping or ordering online were I can’t try them, if I was a home around you or even a distance away I would go to you for a nice pair of boots but I realize it might be a lot of wear and tear on your long driveway All The Best and Continued Success Fabrizio Ps about the breaker tripping I seen in the video you had all the lights on in that lower level sometimes the plugs and the lights are on the same circuit and it draws just enough when you have the dryer on to trip the breaker, otherwise if it’s on a dedicated 20 amp breaker then I would check your neutral connections and make sure there tight and also the power connections so white for neutral and black for power or black and red if you have a three wire, just make sure the whole neutral bar is tight and all the wires attached are tight and make sure the power connection on the breaker is tight as well also check any grounds are tight and yes as you were mentioning sometimes those plugs do go bad as well

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think maybe it wasn't plugged in all the way because we haven't had a problem since and have run at least 6 loads with the dryer, no more breaker tripping.

Hmmm. Little hint? You have a 10 amp plugin - switch to a 20 amp? Or make it the same as the one it currently works in...🤣🤣
@ColoradoMountainLiving
@ColoradoMountainLiving 5 ай бұрын
Say what? The plug is 20 amp. But not sure what the odds are, but when Amy tried it half a dozen times later, it worked every time. She's already run 3 loads through. So who knows, maybe the original time it was plugged in, it wasn't plugged in all the way? It hasn't tripped since. But we will keep an eye on it!

Please note, if you don’t wanna ruin that washer use vinegar as a fabric softener instead of fabric softener, fabric softener is really bad for washing machines you can use dryer sheets also in the dryer but vinegar doesn’t really good job and it keeps your washer clean which is importanton those front end loaders

Agree....per various appliance dealers, best stay away from LG and Samsung washer/dryers and refrigerators. Too many chip/electrical 'gremlins'.

Yikes! LG? Stay away from both LG and Samsung. Not good. Will break early and you cannot get parts. I would see if you can return them and get a domestic brand.
