CORRECTION: We made a mistake in that the other wash cycles can be rolled over into the dry cycle if it is manually selected before the cycle starts, we still think more than 2 of them should be defaulted to just roll-over but it's still a nice feature we overlooked. We will discuss more about these features in some follow-up videos.

Just got mine and I am quite happy after four loads with different types of clothes and bedding. I will start doing towel only washes/dries, however, as when I did a mixed load with towels included, it took about 4 hours to finish, versus 2.5 hours for just clothing. Did a queen comforter with an extra rinse cycle and it took three hours total and came out feeling warm and very dry.

I bought one a month ago loved the concept, the one problem I had with it that if you have pets more than 1 I wouldn't recommend it. We have 4 dogs and washing the blankets they lay on didn't get it clean took a little hair off and that's it very little in the lint trap and the gasket for the lint trap was deformed and more hair ended up on the fins inside of the unit (fire Hazzard) plus all the hair around the door gasket was horrible so after our 48 hours to test it we called Home depot and returned it thinking something was wrong with the lint trap, so a few days later they came with a new one and before they took it in the house I looked at the lint trap and same thing told them to take it back. So now we are getting the LG WashTower.

Thank you for this video. I thought that the one major issue you would highlight would be the failure of the lint filter! I agree with one other commenter that the door gasket and all its little crevices functions as a second lint trap, in addition to the "official" one at the top of the unit. That one does collect lint but we are still getting a ton of additional lint, debris and hair in clinging to the door gasket. Such that we have to either vacumn it out with our smallest attachment and also wipe it out with a disposable wipe. I don't think it is acceptable to have to spend 5 minutes cleaning the washer between each load. And this happens with what I would consider "normal" loads - not just the ones that we know have dog hair. This is all ironic as we got rid of our stinking Maytag because of the door gasket mold, and now we have a different door gasket problem. We bought ours at the end of May 2024 and just called for service.

Some people have actually just swapped out their washer for this all in one unit, so you can still use it as a wash only if you want! You could even run a load as wash only, move it to the dryer, and then start another load as a wash + dry and have both loads finish together! Thanks for watching!

Question for you, I may be wrong, the way the LG is made compare to GE, when you wash the fins if the compressor, I think that even if its awkward having to clean from the top (if you want to create a table on top, its well designed to clean the fins in its natural way up and down, pretty sure that they could be fragile and if you stick stuff in like GE or samsung you could potentially bend a few fins making it less and less efficient. Am I correct? I am looking at it because I am alone and often forget to change washer to dryer... I can run it during the night where the electricity rates are good and stay away from peak prices. Thank you all of you for your comment it helps making a good decision.

The lint filter being on top definitely restricts what you can place on top of this unit, correct. That is one downside. In terms of cleaning the compressor, it doesn't seem any more difficult to access this one than it does on the GE. Thanks for watching!

@tim31723 ай бұрын
Uhh... GE has a "Five year" warranty with many asterisks. A) Labor isn't included beyond the first year. Labor is, BY FAR, the most expensive part of any repair. B) The 5-year portion only applies to the heat pump C) The 10-year portion only applies to the motor. For the period of: We will replace: One year From the date of the original purchase Any part of the unit which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this limited one-year warranty, we will also provide, free of charge, all labor and related service to replace the defective part. Five years From the date of the original purchase The sealed heat pump drying system (compressor, condenser, evaporator and all connecting tubing) which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this additional four-year limited warranty, you will be responsible for any labor and related service costs. Ten years From the date of the original purchase The motor, if it should fail due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this additional nine-year limited warranty, you will be responsible for any labor and related service costs. The GE does NOT have a 5-year warranty in the sense that most appliances have a 1-year warranty. A GE service at year 2-5 on the heat pump will still likely be a solid $300+. Also, thank you for including your "WhERE I LiVe" nonsense as though it's relevant or actionable. You could at least share where you claim to live so it could be useful for people.

This unit would be great in an RV! The biggest downside we ran into was just the long cycles, but time will tell if something bigger shows up.

Other than that, there are just the little details mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching!

A combo washer/dryer is great if space is an issue. If not, why not wash one load, put that in the dryer and work on the next load of wash? Bendix brought out the first or if not one of the first combo washer/dryers back in the 1950's. Machines like this work well in Europe to where most don't have a dedicated dryer. In the meantime, I'll suffer with my Speed Queen front loader. Boulevard Home seems to be expanding into our area, Las Vegas to where I caught a glimpse of one of those stores somewhere around town. Seems more like an R.C. Wiley. Probably not a place that I would shop for appliances but no doubt better than Home Depot or Lowes. Around here, it is Sub Zero, Wolf & Miele.

Okay, I'm back to thinking the drying problem is because of the drain hose, I think (and I'm pretty certain) the technician was actually wrong. I read in other comments that if the hose is too high then it won't drain properly. So I tried draining it (lowering the hose) directly into a 32 gallon garbage can. It worked a lot better, only a couple items felt a little damp so I ran just those items again on 'gentle' and they fully dried.

I don't know if you got it fixed yet but there is a hidden update on one of the melodies that you can get on the app that finally fixed mine. It would never shut off until I updated everything from the app. I work 12 hour days so when all said and done with I would be gone 14 hours or more and since I put in a load before work the machine would end up running for those whole 14 hours. Also on another note the tech's they sent were great, prompt, and professional but (always a but) they have no idea what they are doing on these machines. Either LG just never trained them or they are just totally ignoring some of the problems. I kept contacting customer service and not once did they say the machine not shutting off was a issue. They just kept sending the tech out and he couldn't do anything since it was a software issue. They ended up sending a tech 7 times before finally we decided to update all the melodies and season stuff. One of those fixed it never shutting off.

We had similar problems with the addition of the clothes sticking to the walls of the drum and not tumbling at all. We found that if you drain the machine after every cycle using the drain hose on the front lower left exterior of the machine many of these problems improve (including the lint problem around the front door gasket). We drain about 1-2 cups of water after every cycle. I have a second repairman scheduled to come today to fix this issue. Since this is a relatively new product, my experience is that repairman don’t know how to fix it.

@@gr8tGod I learned another trick that may help the lint issue. When you remove the lint filter on top of the machine there is a plastic screen of sorts at the rear of the lint filter cavity. You can remove it and take out excess lint that has accumulated behind the screen. You need to remove the screw cover and the screw on the top right hand side of the long side of the lint filter cavity. Then remove the plastic piece that covers the long side on the right. Then you can remove the screen at the back and clean it. This information is in the manual which you apparently have to read cover to cover when you own this machine. I have never owned a machine that is so much work.
