A:AnswerHi there! Thank you for your question about the LG washer/dryer combo model #WM6998HBA. We understand you're interested in knowing if you can manually select dryer settings like low, medium, or high heat. This model features advanced drying technologies that automatically adjust the drying temperature based on the selected cycle and fabric type. However, it doesn't have a direct manual option to choose specific heat levels (low, medium, high) like traditional standalone dryers.

A:AnswerWhat I do is use the wash + dry setting. After wash, I pause and put in a dryer sheet and continue drying.
You have to be patient cos it takes time to completely dry your laundry. Other than that, it’s excellent!
A:AnswerHi,
With LG’s Inverter HeatPump™ technology, you’ll enjoy quiet operation and the greatest energy efficiency of any washer/dryer combo available—using up to 60% less energy with every load compared to similarly-sized vented LG dryers. This is based Energy Star test procedures (November 2023). The washer for the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG Ventless Washer/Dryer Combo LG WashCombo™ All-in-One 5.0 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity with Inverter HeatPump™ Technology and Direct Drive Motor, Model # WM6998HBA has an Annual Washer Energy Use (kWh/yr) of 99 kWh/yr, including the energy used by the washer and the energy needed to heat the water used by the washer with an electric water heater. This is based on an annual usage of 295 loads per year or around 6 loads per week, as referenced by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure.
The dryer has an Annual Dryer Energy Use (kWh/yr) of 380 kWh/yr based on 283 cycles per year, as referenced by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure. Your actual energy consumption for the washer and dryer will vary on your usage patterns, including how often your run the washer or the dryer, which cycle you select, and your load size.
The Estimated annual water usage for the washer based on an annual usage of 295 loads per year, or around 6 loads per week as referenced by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure is 4,235 gallons per year.
Unlike a conventional electric or gas dryer that draws in cool air from your home and expels warm, moist air through a vent, a heat pump dryer circulates warm air within a self-contained system, eliminating the need for an exhaust vent.
The dryer uses heat pump technology to extract moisture from your clothes. Rather than generating heat with a gas burner or electric coils, a heat pump moves thermal energy from one area to another using a refrigerant and a condenser—like an air conditioner in reverse.
Heat pump clothes dryers deliver both ventless convenience and energy efficiency. The dryer warms cools, and condenses the same air within a self-contained system. Like an air-source heat pump, a heat pump dryer contains a closed loop of refrigerant lines and two sets of coils—an evaporator (cold) and a condenser (hot). Condenser coils heat the air sending hot, dry air through the drum. Warm, moist air exits the drum, and it passes over the evaporator coils to cool the air and extract the moisture. The moisture drains away or collects in a removable tray for you to dump out later. The cycle begins again with the condenser coils heating the air sending hot, dry air through the drum, repeating the process.
Cold or luke warm water in places like Florida will not impact the drying times...^Ivan.
A:AnswerLikely condensation, and the drain hose for the condenser reservoir is also on the left but in the front. I find I need to drain excess water with each cycle.
A:AnswerHello there, thank you for your question about the WM6998HBA washer. Yes, the total depth, including the recommended rear clearance, is indeed over 37 inches. For optimal performance and ventilation, it's essential to follow the installation guidelines regarding clearance.

We appreciate your inquiry!

A:Answer4 cats in my household, and it does leave some hair, but not much. The majority of the hair sticks to the rubber of the door seal, and gets caught in the lint trap. I find it to be very adequate, personally.
A:AnswerYes it can. It doesnt even come with the water hoses so you can puchase that online along with the sink faucet adapter and diverter/aerator and set it up yourself. You might need teflon tape to stop leaks. You can do the same with the drain hose but youll need to cut it and attach a newer longer one. The online kits are very reliable.
A:AnswerHello there! Unfortunately, the WM6998HBA washer is not stackable, as it is designed to be used as a standalone unit.

Thank you for considering LG!
