Q: QuestionWhat amp service is required for the LG tower electric washer and dryer? How many electric outlets, one or two?

Asked 4 years ago by GOV.

• A:Answer The WKE100HVA has a cord for the washer which has to be plugged into a standard 120V, 60Hz outlet and a cord for the dryer that has to be plugged into a 240V, 60Hz outlet. The dryer should be connected to a 4-hole outlet. The unit will need two outlets. One for the washer and the correct outlet for the dryer. ^Daphane

Q: QuestionIs it safe to use this machine on the third floor of a townhouse? Is it possible to place it in a drain pan and anti-vibration pads? Is it possibble to install an electronic valve shutoff kit such as Floodstop? Is it too heavy for upstairs laundry rooms?

Asked 5 years ago by blueve4.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.4 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower with Steam and Built-In Intelligence - Black Steel

• A:Answer It weight is given at 326 pounds. Does your townhouse developer provide any information on weight limits or perhaps the local code requires a standard. Mine is on the "ground" floor although there is a basement under--no problems. It's probably of similar weight as most full sized stacked washers and dryers. It needs hot and cold water--you should be able to use any shutoff kit you want, as long as the machine can get the water it needs when operating normally. A drain pan should be fine as long as it doesn't create a stability problem. It does need a stable surface. I'd think vibration would not be a problem. Mine is on a standard ceramic tile floor with no issues. The stable floor requirement may mean the usual anti-vibration pads may not be appropriate if they add "give" under the feet. I'd suggest installing it as it comes, with it's adjustable feet, the rubber-type bottom of which keeps it from moving when operating. Make sure it's level and I doubt you would have a vibration problem. Just don't wash a heavy-when-wet bath mat by itself creating a balance problem.

Q: QuestionIs there adjustable feet at the bottom of the unit? Our surface in the laundry room is a bit uneven, could the base of this unit be adjusted to sit flat?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.4 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower with Steam and Built-In Intelligence - Black Steel

• A:Answer Yes, all of these have adjustable feet on screws, so each corner can be adjusted up or down to maintain stability/level. However, keep in mind that the feet aren't necessarily smooth, so they can rip the flooring if you're trying to slide the unit around (if the flooring is soft or can catch). But once you've established the location, it's just a matter of twisting each of the feet to make sure it doesn't rock, and that it's level.

Q: QuestionHi, I'm thinking of purchasing one of these units. My question is, how long is the washing cycle and how long is the drying cycle? Assume that this is a large load maximum capacity. Also, can you wash and dry clothes at the same time? Thank you, Matt

Asked 5 years ago by Matt.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.4 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower with Steam and Built-In Intelligence - Black Steel

• A:Answer Washing and drying times are unusually quick. However are based on factors determined by the machine. It "senses" the amount of clothes and also "senses" when they are dry. I put a pair of jeans and a hooded sweat shirt into the washer on quick wash and it was done before I was done in shower and shaved. Also very quick to dry because of how dry the washer gets them. Yes you can wash and dry at same time. I love the keep fresh option and ease of app use.

Q: QuestionIs there a separate water line for the steam feature? Can I skip the steam option and not hook it up? This is for a 30 year old vacation condo and we don't need a steam washer/dryer. We don't even have an iron or a hair brush at the beach! Thanks.

Asked 5 years ago by MrClean.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.4 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower with Steam and Built-In Intelligence - Black Steel

• A:Answer A "Y" adapter is provided so the cold water supply can feed both the washer and the dryer. The only other item needed to connect water to the dryer is a hose. Hose kits are available for situations with steam dryers. I don't know if not connecting the water supply to the dryer would cause a problem or not; or if it might impact the warranty. So many dryers have steam now, I'd say it would be a shame to decide to limit your choices to non-steam dryers when all it takes is one additional hose to connect it as designed, even if you never use the steam feature.
