Anyone here owns a LG Washing Machine na top load? Yung lagayan ng fabric conditioner ay yung nasa ibabaw ng drum mismo.
I noticed na parang natatapon siya pag ng dryerr between rinse. Hindi naman sobrang puno nilalagay ko.

Anyone here tried washing a queen size comforter in a 7.5 kg top loader? May nabasa ako sa internet na pwede daw, so I tried to fit it rolled. Nakalabas ang 1/4th ng top but kaya sya isiksik paloob and maipit ng tub holder. I'm sure, kikipis pa ito kapag nabasa na ng tubig, but it won't tumble for sure. Best maybe is for the soapy water to swish itself around the fabric. Pwede kaya?
I wash my queen size comforter on my 7 kg top-loader. Sobrang sikip nga, kailangan talaga tama yung pagkakalagay. Hindi siya magtutumble - agitation lang talaga from the spinning.
Kaya mas ok talaga duvet + duvet cover nalang. Mas nadadalian ako labhan.

We are eyeing a washing machine and dryer for the new house. My wife wants the LG Twin Wash model. Anybody here who’s using it?

Twin wash could be useful for underwear and other delicates. We have an LG but without that. We just put the delicates inside mesh wash bags.

Ours is the 15/8 washer dryer combo. Pansin namin sa dryer mabilis maluma ang mga knitted at jackets. Hiniwalay na lang namin ng cycle na hanggang spinner lang. Onting hang dry lang tuyo na.
Does the bottom washer have a spinner?

we hand-wash our bed covers and kumots, then hang them out to dry. we have the requisite real estate.
wala na kaming gigantic tansan or corrugated galvanized iron batya, so we use big plastic plangganas.
Just found a disadvantage with all-in-ones.
Our 3-year-old LG frontload washer-dryer was suddenly not drying. Clothes were still wet after a full cycle necessitating another round of drying. There were no error codes on the console.
Checked online and the suggestion was to check the vent tube. A dedicated dryer has lint filters. All-in-ones don't and lint SHOULD be flushed out with the used water.
I removed the top and the vent fan and found several handfulls of lint blocking the tube. This was preventing hot air from recirculating during the drying phase. I scooped out as much as I could and reassembled it. Next time I'll remove and clean the whole tube but I'll need more free time because it requires removing the heating element and the rear access plate along with several electrical connections.
The all-in-one saga continues.
The dryer heater works but the tub fills with water after the drying cycle. Since it won't unlock until water goes down to a certain level I had to manually drain steaming water from the lint trap. Needless to say the clothes were wet but hot.
YouTube and Reddit said to check the drain pumps and lines. Another possible cause was a stuck inlet valve that lets in too much water during the drying phase as it tries to cool down the tub.
First I disassembled the water inlet solenoids. Got lucky and didn't lose any parts as the springs were pointed downwards. My machine had four inlet solenoids and I checked all of them.
The difficult part was getting to the drain and recirc pumps as it required removing the whole front panel. Blew out the hoses and checked for stuck lint in the impellers.
I was able to reassemble everything with one screw unaccounted for. Test washes are encouraging. Clothes are now very dry after a full cycle.

Ok so after a few successful tests clothes came out wet again
One possibility was that the inlet valve solenoids that let in just a little bit of water are not closing properly. One solenoid provides the water to create the steam that does the actual drying. The other solenoid cools the tub down.
Bought a Php1,600 inlet valve from my favorite online shop and it arrived in a week from abroad. For units with 4 inlet valve solenoids I only found one store online that had it. The more common ones have 3 at most.
Replaced the inlet valve. Same issue. Some pulling of non-existent hair commenced.
Went back online again and someone suggested that the water level sensor might be blocked. The sensor is at the top of the machine and it's connected to a hose at the bottom of the tub. Tried blowing the hose out and something was stuck in there. Poured some Datu Puti vinegar in the hose and after a few seconds blew it out again. Finally heard bubbles coming from the tub so I guess that cleaned it out. Poured the remaining two liters of vinegar in the tub and ran a clean cycle.
Next test wash failed but the good thing was it was reporting an outlet error while spinning. Since I knew the machine hoses were clean and the pumps were working I checked downstream. The extension pipe was full of mud and lint. Cleaned it out and tried drying. Fail
Back on the interwebs I went and after reading about why I should have chosen separate machines for washing and drying instead of an all-in-one, I found a snippet saying that the inlet valves should have restrictors that only allow a trickle of water in for the steamer and tub cooler. I remembered checking the bootleg inlet valve and noticed that the tub cooler inlet did not have a restrictor.
Out went the replacement inlet valve and back in went the stock valve. Nail biting commenced while the first load ran. Success! 2nd load was also good. Now running a third load.
TL;DR: Gunk stuck in the water level sensor kept the drain pump from running during the spinning and driving phases. Dissolving the blockage with vinegar and blowing it out fixed the issue.
Lessons learned:
- use the correct detergent and fabric softener
- do not use too much detergent and fabric softener
- run the tub clean cycle religiously
- if things go downhill again then I know what to check first next time
