  • QuestionFollowing up on my venting of the dryer question, can the condensate be set up to drain into the washing machine sanitary drain?

    Asked by Chip.

    • Answer Yes, It's setup to do that. Everything you will need comes with the tower. I had the Geek Squad install mine. Took about 30 minutes from start to finish. Considering its size I would suggest you doing the same. It's heavy.

  • QuestionI am quite confused about this ventless dryer concept. I guess my two main questions 1. What happens with the excess lint that typically expels out of the vent. 2. Does this extend the drying time? How long does a typical load of clothes take to dry.

    Asked by Curmudgeon.

    • Answer The ventless Heat Pump Dryer for the ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient / Energy Star® Certified LG 5.0 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.8 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower™ with Steam and Ventless Heat Pump Tech - White. Model # WKHC252HWA, works like a closed-loop dehumidifier, reusing hot air to dry clothes at lower temperatures without needing an external vent. It passes warm, dry air through the drum to absorb moisture, then uses a heat pump system to cool that air, condensing the water into a drain or container. The unit uses a 3-stage filtration system. An inner filter must be removed and cleaned after every load to remove accumulated lint. A second, outer filter sits behind the first and should be cleaned every 10–15 loads to remove fine dust that passes through the first filter. The Auto Cleaning Condenser™ automatically cleans the condenser coils. The dryer uses water extracted from the clothes during the drying cycle to flush lint and debris from the condenser unit, reducing the need for manual condenser maintenance. The Lint Filter Status Indicator lights up when the appliance is turned on as a reminder to clean the lint filter. It turns off when the Start/Pause button is pressed. It also lights up if the lint filter needs to be cleaned. The lint and water flushed by the Auto Cleaning Condenser are expelled through the drain hose, which can lead to the same drain as the washer. Ventless heat pump dryers typically take longer to dry clothes than conventional vented dryers. They take longer because they use lower temperatures and a closed-loop condensation process, though this makes them much more energy-efficient and gentler on fabrics. When a drying cycle is selected, the estimated drying time for the selected cycle is displayed. This time will change if you select extra options for the cycle. The cycle time on Sensor Dry cycles may fluctuate as the appliance recalculates drying time for optimal results...^Ivan.

  • QuestionThe washer door won’t open. What do I do?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Could you please elaborate more about "The washer door won't open"! Is it not opening during a wash cycle or before you start washing? If the door for the washer on the ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient / ENERGY STAR® Certified LG Single Unit LG WashTower™ with Center Control™ 5.0 cu. Ft. Front Load Washer and 7.8 cu. Ft. Electric Ventless Heat Pump Dryer, Model # WKHC252HWA, is stuck during a wash cycle, first pause the cycle and wait 3-5 minutes for it to cool and unlock. If it remains locked, run a "Spin" cycle to drain excess water. The door lock icon often stays lit until the tub drains, cools down (if hot), and stops spinning. This can take 3-5 minutes. If the washer has water, it will not unlock. Power on, select "Spin Speed" (set to No Spin or simply select the Drain+Spin cycle) to force the water out. If still locked, unplug the machine for 10-20 minutes, or use the emergency manual release cable hidden behind the lower access panel. Look at the bottom front of the unit for a small door or panel. Open the panel and unscrew the small drain hose (have a shallow pan ready for water). Next to the drain hose, there is a plastic strap or red cable. Pull it down to unlock the door latch. Keep in mind that the door will not unlock if the internal temperature is too high, or if the water level is too high. The safety sensor detects water, keeping it locked to prevent flooding. If the lock light blinks or the unit keeps locking immediately after unlocking, the door latch assembly may need to be replaced. If the door still won't open after these steps, the door lock mechanism may be damaged...^Ivan.

  • QuestionAfter stacking the washer and dryer the washer will not turn on

    Asked by Gavin.

    • Answer When you say the washer will not turn on, are you getting any indication at all that it is receiving power? The ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient / ENERGY STAR® Certified LG Single Unit LG WashTower™ with Center Control™ 5.0 cu. Ft. Front Load Washer and 7.8 cu. Ft. Electric Ventless Heat Pump Dryer, Model # WKHC252HBA, is sold, and delivered as a stacked unit and should only be disassembled when it service is needed or when it is necessary to get it through an opening. Disassembling the unit involves detaching the harness for the washer and the dryer, so if the washer is not turning on after stacking as you have mentioned, it is quite possible that the harness for the washer was not re-attached...^Ivan.

  • QuestionDoes this unit only require one single 240V 30 AMP plug/circuit?

  • QuestionIf I purchase a full size washer/dryer from Best Buy for a small business, I understand warranty may not apply. My question is whether Best Buy will service it at all? I ask because Whirlpool refuses to send service to my business address at any price.

    Asked by Twva.

    • Answer Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding the LG WashTower (WKHC252HWA) and your inquiry about Best Buy's service for business addresses. We understand your concern about ensuring service availability for your small business. While we at LG handle product-specific inquiries and troubleshooting, Best Buy's service policies, especially concerning commercial purchases and business addresses, are determined by them directly. Best Buy does offer "Best Buy for Business" and Geek Squad services, including appliance repair. They state they can repair most major appliance brands, even if purchased elsewhere or outside of the manufacturer's warranty. However, for specific details on their service to business addresses and any potential limitations for commercial use, it would be best to contact Best Buy directly. You can typically find their business customer service contact information on their official website. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-5-0-cu-ft-he-smart-front-load-washer-and-7-8-cu-ft-electric-dryer-washtower-with-steam-and-ventless-heat-pump-tech-white/6573537.p?skuId=6573537 Your feedback is important, and we'd like to assist you further with any LG product-related concerns.

  • QuestionHi, Are these two separate units or is it one unit with both the washer and dryer? My concern is if one breaks (washer or dryer) then does the whole unit have to be replaced or can you purchase separately the washer or dryer? Thank you.

    Asked by Stacey.

    • Answer Hi there, Stacey. The LG WashTower™ Model # WKHC252HBA is a single unit that combines both the washer and dryer in a vertical design. The washer and dryer are integrated, meaning they are part of the same unit and cannot be separated for individual repair or replacement. If either the washer or the dryer breaks down, the entire unit would typically need to be serviced or replaced, as they function together as one. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wkhc252hba-washtower#pdp_specs For any further assistance or service, feel free to reach out to @LGUSSupport on social media.

  • QuestionI will be purchasing this unit for my apartment. I have to have a 240V plug installed to support the dryer. What kind of 240V plug should I have installed? 3-prong, 4-prong? Is there a picture or common industry name I can give to the electrician?

    Asked by Ventless.

    • Answer Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the electrical requirements for your LG 5.0 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.8 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower (WKEX300HBA). For new installations in the United States, we recommend having a 4-prong, 240V, 30-amp dedicated circuit installed. The industry name for this specific outlet is a NEMA 14-30R. We suggest ensuring your electrician uses a UL-listed 4-wire power cord to match this outlet for the safest and most reliable operation of your WashTower. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-5-0-cu-ft-he-smart-front-load-washer-and-7-8-cu-ft-electric-dryer-washtower-with-steam-and-ventless-heat-pump-tech-black-steel/JJ8VPZQQKZ For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on [email protected]. —Renzo

  • QuestionI'm unclear on the venting of this dryer. The dryer is noted as a "ventless", but the additional information says that a venting kit is available. Can this dryer be made to vent to the outdoors? If so, where can we get the venting kit? Thank you.

    Asked by Chip.

    • Answer Hello, Chip. Thanks for your question. The WKHC252HWA is a ventless dryer, which means it doesn't need an outside vent. It uses condensation drying to take moisture out of clothes. In ventless dryers, moisture is collected in a tank or drained through a hose instead of going outside. The venting kit mentioned is likely an optional kit that lets you drain the water from drying directly into a floor drain, so you don’t have to empty the tank yourself. This doesn’t change the dryer into a regular vented dryer; it just makes it easier to deal with the moisture. As for venting it outside, ventless dryers like the WKHC252HWA are made to work without outdoor venting, so you can't change it to a vented model. The venting kit is only for draining, not for venting air outside. If you want more info about the venting kit or other installation options, feel free to message us on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll be glad to help you. Thanks for reaching out!^Con
