Q: What is the exact purpose of the Fresh Care feature?

A: We apologize if you found the previous answer to your inquiry about the Fresh Care feature on the LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Ultra-large-Capacity High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer -Model # WM4270HWA condescending, that was not the intent. The Fresh Care feature does blow a little air, but in response to your question "Could a small load dry or be nearly dry if tumbled overnight?" it is possible that a small load could dry depending on how much moisture was in the load after drying. The Fresh Care option will tumble finished loads of wet laundry for up to 19 hours to keep it from getting musty. The purpose of this feature to answer your question as to "what is the feature really for?" is to prevent your laundry from getting musty in the event that after drying, the laundry is still wet and you are not home to either remove it from the dryer to let it aerate so it does not get musty or if it has dried, that it does not get wrinkled. The tumbling action reduces wrinkling. If you would like more details on this, please contact the LG Customer Interactive Center at (800) 243-0000...IFV

Q: Mold and mildew problems

A: We don't see this with our newer model (4270), but the manual for our machine recommends that the door is left open when the machine is not in use. The 4270 has a kind of stop that holds the door slightly ajar. You might want to try leaving the door slightly open when you're not using the machine (if you're not already doing that).

Q: How do I turn the interior light on?

A: Push the on button and it will come on.

Q: Should the end of this drain hose have an elbow on it?

A: Had the same thing done when mine was installed.

Q: washing machine

A: no, if there is water in it, or water is too hot, the door will not open. it will remain locked.

Q: since the washer is hinged on left n opens from right to left is there a kit that comes with it to reverse the swing or is there one to buy?

A: Regrettably, the door on the LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer - Graphite Steel, Model # WM4270HVA is not reversible and there aren't any kits available that can reverse the door. It has to come built with that provision from the factory...^IFV

Q: How much width do you need to install this washer dryer set?

A: The ENERGY STAR® MOST EFFICIENT 2015 LG 4.5 cu. ft. Ultra Large Capacity TurboWash® Washer w/ NFC Tag On, Model # WM4270HVA has a width of 27" as will be any dryer that you match it with. The minimum recommended clearance spacing on either side of the washer and its matching dryer is 1" as is the spacing between the two so the minimum space required is 57"...^IFV

Q: Leakage and flooding

A: If you look at the image of the LG 4.5 cu. ft. Ultra Large Capacity TurboWash® Washer w/ NFC Tag On, Model # WM4270HVA, you will notice the drain pump cover behind which are the drain pump filter and a drain hose located in the lower right corner of the unit as you stand in front of it. It is recommended that you periodically clean the drain filter to prevent clogging by foreign objects...^IFV
