Q: QuestionCan The LG Model # WKE100HVA be vented through the ceiling?
Asked by Norma.
- A:Answer Venting for the Energy Star® Certified LG Single Unit Front Load LG WashTower™ with Center Control™ 4.5 cu. Ft. Washer and 7.4 cu. Ft. Electric Dryer, Model # WKE100HVA, must conform to your local building codes. Please check your local building codes or consult your local building inspector is you can vent the dryer through your ceiling. If local codes permit it, a dryer can be vented through a ceiling. This method is particularly useful in homes where wall venting is not feasible. Ceiling venting can be less obtrusive and contribute to a cleaner, more streamlined look in the laundry area. It can also improve airflow and reduce the distance that lint and hot air need to travel, enhancing the efficiency of the dryer. Additionally, ceiling venting can be a safer alternative to exterior wall installation, especially in multi-story buildings or when exterior wall venting is impractical. Proper installation of a dryer vent through the ceiling requires careful planning and execution to ensure safety and efficiency...^Ivan.

Q: QuestionDoes the washer plug into the dryer?
Asked by Maria.
- A:Answer The washer on the Energy Star® Certified LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.4 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower™ with Steam and Built-In Intelligence - White, Model # WKE100HWA, does not plug into the dryer. The washer is equipped with a power cord whose plug must be plugged into a 120 V, 60 Hz 3-wire grounding receptacle. The dryer has has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with the dryer and will have to be purchased separately. The type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to your local codes, or in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. You must contact a qualified electrician to check your home’s wiring and fuses to ensure that your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer. Depending on what your local codes dictate, you can use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 3-wire, or 4-wire, UL-listed power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends for the dryer. A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted on new construction after January 1, 1996, and a 4-wire connection is required for new branch-circuit installations where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited, and in areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor...^Ivan.

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 - Nature Green

Q: QuestionMy washing machine turns and functions. My dryer will not turn on (no power) I had it professionally installed.
Asked by MichaelL.
- A:Answer Hello there, MichaelL. We understand your inquiry about your LG WashTower WKE100HVA dryer not turning on, especially after a professional installation. We understand your inquiry, and this is certainly not the experience we want for you. Since the washer is functioning, it confirms that the unit is receiving power. When a dryer does not turn on, the most common causes are a power issue specific to the dryer's circuit or a safety feature that is preventing it from starting. Here is a troubleshooting step you can try: Check the circuit breaker: Electric dryers use two circuit breakers, while gas units use one. Confirm both breakers for the dryer are in the "on" position. If they are not, you can try turning them off for 5 seconds and then back on. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-4-5-cu-ft-he-smart-front-load-washer-and-7-4-cu-ft-electric-dryer-washtower-with-steam-and-built-in-intelligence-graphite-steel/6451030.p?skuId=6451030 If the issue persists, we would like to assist you further.

Q: QuestionWhat is the washing time? Is it 68 min, 2hrs, 3 hrs? Also, what is the drying time? 1 hrs, 2 hrs?
Asked by Sandy.
- A:Answer Hello there, Sandy. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the cycle times for the LG WashTower, model # WKE100HWA. We understand that knowing the precise duration of a wash and dry cycle is important. The washing and drying times for this unit can vary based on the cycle selected, load size, and soil level. For example, a "Speed Wash" cycle can get a small, lightly soiled load done in as little as 15 minutes. The dryer's "Sensor Dry" feature automatically adjusts the time based on the moisture in the load, which can help save energy and prevent over-drying.
