Lg washer wm2455hw manual

The drum holds an enormous amount. I've washed my king size bedspread many times with no issues. I also really love how quiet it is. I wouldn't think twice about having the washer running while we have company over-- it's that quiet. You can't even hear water going into it. I would highly recommend this washer. We absolutely love it and if I ever had to purchase another washer if we moved or something, I wouldn't hesitate to get this one again.

Whenever my mom comes from out of town to visit, she always says how jealous she is of my washer and that she wishes she had one! I got the LG washer about 3 years ago because I heard that front loaders help save on electricity and water and I am always looking for ways to cut down on waste in my life.

The washer works really well, but we did have an incident when we moved apartments when it started flooding water. Luckily, it was still under warranty and was fixed free of charge. Hopefully we don't have to deal with that incident again! The washer does it's job and if you put it on stain cycle, it will take out the stains no matter what type of detergent you use we make our own.

My biggest complaint, which probably goes with all front loaders, is that the door gets really moldy and gross. I always leave the door open after I wash to make sure it dries out, but we still experience this problem. It's almost enough for me to consider going back to a top-loader whenever we need to replace this machine. Overall, it does a great job in washing. It literally enables me to movemountains.

I wash everything from king sized comforters to dog blankets to delicate sweaters with ease. I would say buying this washer was the best purchase by far we made when we moved into our new home.

And I love the way it looks, the shiny black with blue lights on the front is very pretty and sleek looking. In purchasing a new condo there were six appliances included in the purchase price.

They were pretty much run-of-the-mill, okay items. Not bad, just not real good. We decided to do our own shopping and apply the allowance for the appliances to our own choices.

The first time it was used, I wasn't even sure it was working. It would start, then stop. Go again, then stop. I didn't interrupt, I just let it go. In the end the clothes were clean and quite dry for just being washed. There are several push button settings and a dial for automatic functions. As a man, I always choose an automatic setting. I don't want to know, or have to think, about what is happening. The first thing the machine does is weigh the load you have given it.

Based upon this information, the machine then determines the amount of water and the time required to complete the wash. At first I found the amount af time disturbing.

It wasn't and still isn't uncommon for the LED display to inform a washing time of one hour, thirty-eight minutes, or one hour and fifty minutes. In my mind, there was no way a running time of over an hour to do a wash could be energy efficient. My former washing machine did a load in about twenty-five minutes. I have come to expect and accept a longer running time from this washing machine.

I don't even really notice it anymore. You will hear a loud 'click' which is the front loading door locking shut. After a few little 'whirrs' the machine will add the water, the soap when ready, and do its' thing. Now I don't claim to know how this works, but I'm told that somehow, electronically, the washing machine basically 'stores' the energy it uses and reuses the energy as much as possible.

This is apparently one of the reasons for the long washing times. The bottom line of this is less electricity use, and therefore, a less electric charge on your bill for usage. I have not actually done tests or trackings of this fact, but I do believe these statements based upon the actual electric bills.

Even though the washing machine takes over an hour to do a wash, the electric bills have not increased, may even be slightly down.

As a disclaimer to this I will add, all six appliances were replaced with new ones at the same time, but the electric bill did not increase even though a plasma tv was added to the usual mix of electrical devices at the same time.

As I am in a condo, the washing machine is in the hall just outside the master bedroom. Front load steamwasher with 9 washing programs pages. Page 2 MAR. Page 4: Specifications 1.

In the instructions it says not to wash latex-backed items for example, shower curtains or picnic blankets because these might cause an overflow, but you can't wash light placemats and a table runner either, or a load of towels. I'll be getting rid of this so-called "high-end" machine tomorrow, and I'll be returning to a much less expensive but reliable top-loading machine.

Oct 21, Rating don't recommend by: Cindi K. I just finished rinsing a load of towels for the 5th time! They are finally at least close to de-sudsed. These machines are praised as energy savers. They save energy by not using enough water to get the job done right. Some people recommend using just a tiny bit of detergent, but then your clothes do not get really clean. Also, because the water doesn't run long enough to get hot water from the water heater through the water pipes and to the washing machine, the "hot" water will never be hot and the "warm" will be more like "cool" if you are lucky.

I have a laundry sink next to my machine, so I run the water in there until it is as hot as it will get before I start my machine. The washer tub cools it somewhat, so my wash water ends up being at least pretty warm when I select the "hot" water wash.

How is that saving you money? When you select the hot wash, the only rinse water you are allowed to use is cold. Cold water does not do the job. It is September now and the water is cold. I can't wait until the 40 degree max water in January! For my old top loader, I could just turn the selector knob to warm rinse after filling the tub with hot wash water.

The makers of my HE machine won't let you do that. Also, this machine only has 2 rinses preset with an extra rinse button. That is only 3. Not enough. I timed the rinse at 4 minutes. That is fine for a top loader because of the vigorous agitation, but not even close for the anemic "flip, flop, rest" of this machine. My LG has a "bulky" cycle, but the spin speed can only be set as high as medium. No high speed spin for bulky items? What planet are these guys from?

They obviously do NOT do the laundry! The "Speed Wash" cycle does not rinse the clothes, although it says it does.

That reminds me, the LG "experts" have many presets that cannot be changed. They think we are all idiots. These are just a few of my complaints. This machine is going back if I can trade it in for a top loader. The "experts" who recommend these HE front loaders obviously haven't done much if any laundry or maybe they don't know or care that the clothes are still full of laundry detergent. I have been doing laundry for over 30 years. They should come to me to get customer feedback.

I have a cartoon idea on this. Picture a man walking in the rain. His clothes are fill of soap bubbles. Caption: "Mr Green believes in saving energy. He has an HE machine. Apr 16, Rating great experience - didn't have the problems which i read in other reviews by: Anonymous I purchased an LG 4.

It has worked wonderfully. I have the matching dryer and they are stacked in my laundry closet. The washing machine is straightforward to use despite all the knobs and lights that make it appear daunting. It is a must to use the High energy detergent. The sanitary cycle heats the water independently of your hot water heater and is great for nasty socks and stinky towels. My only complaint is that the lettering on some of the push buttons is small and my post yrs old eyes require glasses to read.

I have not seen a great deal of water savings, either, but the clothes are cleaner I believe, and the hand wash cycle is wonderful for lingerie, sweaters and the like. The loads that I can put in the washer are larger, leading to fewer loads in a household with two active boys and a farmer husband. During warmer weather, it is necessary to take the loads out of the machine as soon as possible, because with less air circulation they will sour more quickly than in a top loading machine.

I have not seen the problems that I read about in reviews of front loaders, i. Overall I am well pleased with the machine and would recommend the purchase to anyone. While the cycles do take a bit longer than my old top load machine a Whirlpool circa , the capacity of my LG washer is about double, so I end up saving time in the long run.

My heavy California King sized comforters fit easily inside along with my sheets and pillow cases and come out cleaner than they ever have before. With two children under the age of two in the house and a paramedic husband, the sanitary setting has given me a lot of peace of mind.

I do a ridiculous amount of laundry, and I have yet to have a problem with the washer.
