Q: does it have a removable lint filter?
A: Hi Lynn. The LG - 2.3 cu.ft. 14-Cycle Front-Loading Compact Washer and 7-Cycle Dryer Combo with Steam, Model # WM3488HW is a ventless dryer so it does not need a filter. Any lint from the wash is expelled along with the drain water and the unit has a drain pump filter that catches any foreign objects that don't go through the filter. It is recommended that you check that filter periodically to ensure that it is not clogged...^IFV
A: The W x H x D dimensions for the LG - 2.3 cu.ft. 14-Cycle Front-Loading Compact Washer and 7-Cycle Dryer Combo with Steam - White, Model # WM3488HW are: 24" x 33 1/2" x 25 1/4" (45" D with door open). Standard Kitchen cabinets have a height of 34.5" (i.e. the toe kick has a height of 3.5" and the cabinet is 31" tall), so the height is not an issue. The width for kitchen cabinets will vary, but most dishwashers have a width of 23 3/4" to 24". This washer also has a width of 24". Kitchen cabinets have a depth of 24" and this is where the WM3488HW is different from dishwashers. Typically, dishwashers have a cabinet that has a depth of 24" so that it can sit flush within the kitchen cabinet and only the door handles will protrude past the kitchen cabinet. This washer has a cabinet that is 25.2" and the washer requires sufficient space in the back to allow for the waterline and for airflow around the unit (1" on the sides). So the washer will protrude past your cabinets more than a dishwasher does and you also will need 19.8 inches at the least in front of the unit so that the door can be opened...^IFV
A: The LG - 2.3 cu.ft. 14-Cycle Front-Loading Compact Washer and 7-Cycle Dryer Combo with Steam - White, Model # WM3488HW must be plugged into its' own dedicated standard, grounded, 3-prong outlet rated at 120V, protected by a 15 Amp time delay fuse or 15 Amp. circuit breaker, what you are referring to as a normal house outlet. The power outlet must be within 60 inches of either side of the washer. The drain hose should be properly secured with the supplied elbow bracket. The Hot and Cold inlet hoses have 3/4" connectors on them. Depending on the faucets you intend to connect them to, you may or may not need adapters. Check to ensure that your kitchen sink will be able to handle the drainage water so it does not overflow and flood your kitchen...^IFV
A: Yes this washing machine size 2.3 will wash a queen size sheets with no problem I put in my queen size Valore blanket in there it fits fine plenty of room just keep in mind you have to learn the machine because when you first get it you will be like oh my God the dryer does not even dry it takes too long it smells like rubber all the Reviews will state the same thing, when I tell you I absolutely love the machine once you learn all the setting you will se what a great machine it is .. please keep in mind do not put the dryer on high setting because in the beginning your clothes smell like rubber funny smell I had called LG and they explained to me to keep it on low setting and make sure the only part that is lit up is low temperature because when you hit the dry button where it says spin speed keep clicking it in till there is no light lit up that is one of my biggest things that I learned I hope this helps you. I gave you an image of my blanket so you can see I use the machine for both of those blankets that are on my bed it fits both of them in there.. I get just keep in mind the first two months the machine has a funny smell and you will say I do not even smell my fabric softener but trust me it does go away...Now my clothes smell wonderful..
A: I've read a lot of comments on concerns about the smell the dryer leaves on clothes. Good news! I think I've found a solution, and I also live in an apartment. The first weekend I had the machine I washed about 4 or 5 loads. The rubber-like smell was very strong in-spite of using liquid fabric softener. I found something at the store, a product called Tide Washing Machine Cleaner. I opened one pouch, put it in the drum (NOT the soap dispenser), and set the washer to "Tub Clean" mode. As per the instructions on the cleaner, I left the door open to let it air out (overnight as it was late). There was still a slight rubbery smell along with the fragrance of the cleaner in the air. I ended up being gone last weekend, but this weekend (about two weeks later) I'm doing laundry and finding a marked difference in the amount of the rubber-like smell on my clothes. I'm still using liquid fabric softener with each load. My plan was to use the three packets of cleaner once a week for the first three weeks. (As recommended on the box for strong odors). Having missed last week, I plan to run another "Tub Clean" mode after my last load today. I really think this stuff might just be working. I've uploaded two pictures of the front and back of the box containing 3 packets of cleaner. I'll let you know if there's any change for the worse, but after today's loads I doubt there'll need be any other updates. -- The machine is still a strong 5-stars in my book.
A: It turns out it varies according to the load and according to the setting. I have had it read four hours For the complete cycle down to two hours. The two hour cycle for washing and drying is comparable to my other machine. However, I don't have to go and take the wet laundry out and put it in the dryer. It turns out you can also interrupt the drying cycle and pull out whatever concerns you. If you don't let the whole cycle dry your clothes will be damp. Today I tried drying my very best clothes for 30 minutes on A low setting. They were wet. So I added another 30 minutes and they were still damp but I pulled them out and hung them. I have a friend who's daughter had the machine prior to children and loved it. When she had children she did not love it because of the drying cycle. There are just two of us And I don't just like it, I love it! I forgot to mention that the machine analyzes your load of wash and the setting you have chosen and determines the washing and drying cycle accordingly. It is pretty smart. For routine, non-expensive clothing I just to wash and dry. Pretty easy!
A: it is permanent,hooked up like a regular washer
A: I have mine installed in the kitchen of my apartment under a countertop in a space about 24.75" W x 25" D x 34.75" H. I can tell you that it's recommended with more clearance space, but I haven't had any issues. This was a replacement of a previous, similarly sized machine. I WOULD MAKE TWO NOTES: 1.) The machine sticks out from the space about 3" at it's furthest point which is the door front (the actual top of the machine sticks out about 1" in the front from this space.) and 2.) You will need to purchase alternate intake water hoses with a 90º connection to the machine. The machine does come with two 5-ft hoses but they do not have that 90º connection needed for close quarters. I'd also recommend getting the woven steel covered hoses to resist kinking -- your number 1 enemy when attempting close quarter installation of washing machines.
