Simplify laundry day with this 24-inch LG SIGNATURE washer and dryer combo. The TurboWash feature reduces cleaning time by 20 minutes, and its ventless technology uses a heat pump to dry clothes while using 50 percent less energy. This LG SIGNATURE washer and dryer combo is Wi-Fi-capable, so you can control it with your smartphone.
Q: Do you not have to swap clothes from washer to dryer??? Does it wash then automatically dry?
A: Yes,the LG - SIGNATURE 2.8 Cu. Ft. 17-Cycle Washer and 6-Cycle Dryer Electric Combo does both, it is an all-in-one unit,
A: The LG SIGNATURE Washer/Dryer Combo, Model # LUWM101HWA, like all other LG Washer/Dryer Combos, is a ventless dryer. The difference being that other LG Washer/Dryer Combos use a Ventless Condensing Drying System and this unit uses an Inverter Heat Pump Drying System. Cycle times will depend on the chosen cycle, the pressure of the incoming water, the chosen options, the load size, the temperature of the water and the chosen Dryer Program. The TurboWash® 2.0 Technology allows you to save up to 20 minutes per load on larger loads. You also have an option of using Sensor Dry Cycles in which electronic sensors measure the temperature of the exhaust to increase or decrease drying temperatures for faster reaction time and tighter temperature control, or you can use the manual Time Drying (30/60/90/120 min). Drying cycles can last up to about 7 hours. If the load is not dry after the estimated time, the drying time is modified automatically and the new estimated time appears in the display. The actual drying time may vary from the estimated drying time for the sensor dry cycles. Drying time is affected by the type of fabric, load size, and selected dry level. ^CP
Q: Is this a apartment sized washer can it hook up to the sink?
A: I saw on another site that someone added a quick connect onto the aupply hose which connects it to the sink, and drain hose in the bathtub.
Q: Can I make this unit portable and move it to the sink
A: Like any other washer, you can connect the LG SIGNATURE 2.8 Cu. Ft. 17-Cycle Washer and 6-Cycle Electric Dryer Combo with Steam, Model # LUWM101HWA to your kitchen sink. A permanently installed washing machine should have its own drain and water supply, but if needed, you can make use of your kitchen sink drain and faucet as a temporary measure for a portable unit. You can even make the drain connection permanent, but you'll probably always want to be able to disconnect the washing machine supply hose so you can use the faucet for other purposes. You need to be aware of some key code issues before you connect a washing machine to a sink drain. If you make the connection incorrectly, the drain could overflow or, even worse, siphon contaminated water into the washing machine. A drain connection with the potential for contamination is called a cross-connection. The output from a washing machine is under pressure, and a standard 1 1/2-inch sink P-trap assembly is too small to handle it. If you're going to connect the washing machine drain hose to the sink drain before the P-trap, the entire drain, including the trap, needs to be constructed of a 2-inch pipe. If you connect the washing machine drain hose permanently to the sink drain, the potential for backflow exists. You may have to alos change your faucets or install a male-to-male faucet adapter for the water supply. You can connect one of the washing machine supply hoses to any faucet that has an aerator with external threads. Simply unscrew the aerator and screw on a sink adapter for a washing machine that allows you to attach the cold supply line. The faucet needs to have an aerator for this adapter to work, and since only single-handle faucets do, you can only connect one of the washing machine's two supply hoses. You'll have to run the washing machine on cold-only settings and control the temperature from the faucet...^IFV
A: Hi ej. Keep in mind that the washing capacity for the LG SIGNATURE 2.8 Cu. Ft. 17-Cycle Washer and 6-Cycle Electric Dryer Combo with Steam, Model # LUWM101HWA is twice that for its drying capacity so if you wash a full load, you will need to take half of that full load out for drying. Drying cycles can last up to about 7 hours. If the load is not dry after the estimated time, the drying time is modified automatically and the new estimated time appears in the display. The actual drying time may vary from the estimated drying time for the sensor dry cycles. Drying time is affected by the type of fabric, load size, and selected dry level...^IFV
Q: Hello, I just bought this washer/dryer combo. Is the dry cycle supposed to be unbearably loud?
A: We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. The LG SIGNATURE 2.8 Cu. Ft. 17-Cycle Washer and 6-Cycle Electric Dryer Combo with Steam, Model # LUWM101HWA uses an Inverter Heat Pump for drying and it is not "supposed to be unbearably loud". That indicates that there may be a problem with the unit. Check to ensure that all the shipping bolts have been removed from the back of the unit. Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place. If the bolts have been removed, please contact our Support Center at (800) 243-0000 so they can assist you troubleshooting the issue to determine if this is something that can easily be resolved...^IFV
A: This unit is ventless.
A: The LUWM101HWA has the following dimensions: (WxHxD) 23 5/8" x 33 1/2" x 26 1/2". The recommended installation clearance of 4 inches in the back of the LG SIGNATURE Washer/Dryer Combo, Model # LUWM101HWA is to ensure that it has sufficient spacing around it for airflow, ease of installation and servicing, especially if you intend to install it in a closet which confines the space.
