A:AnswerYou cannot wash AND dry clothes in a washing machine. You can however, run both the top washer and the bottom washer (Sidekick) at the same time. They each have their own water supply, drain, and controls. It is a GREAT product. Will not disappoint.
A:AnswerYou cannot install the LG - SideKick 1.0 Cu. Ft. 6-Cycle High-Efficiency Pedestal Washer-Graphite Steel, Model # WD100CV under a stacked Washer and Dryer. That would be too much weight on the Pedestal Washer and the combined height would be precariously high...^IFV
A:AnswerNo, the controls for the Sidekick are on the top of the drawer, and you can see them when the drawer is closed. I wouldn't want a panel anyway. I've got a regular pedestal under my dryer, and they look virtually identical until you see the hint of the "Start" button on the Sidekick.
A:AnswerThe ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.5 cu. ft. High-Efficiency Front Load Washer with Steam in White, Model # WM3670HWA is LG SideKick™ Compatible and would have no problem operating with a sidekick pedestal. ^CP
A:AnswerYou will need to get the LG TSTK1 kit to install the sidekick under the dryer. Most likely you will need to do it yourself as Bestbuy's installation crews did not know how and refused to do the install. End up doing it myself without any issues. Here is my setup.
A:Answernot sure... but it cannot be much... use very little soap... this thing is wonderful and works great. Perfect for that colored shirt you might worry about fading on other things, etc. or just a small load period. I washed two pairs of knit shorts and a knit shirt in one load that were DIRTY... and it worked perfectly to get all pieces completely clean.
A:AnswerI don't know if it will have enough clearance for it to get over the carpet. I have a throw rug in front of mine and I have to move the rug when I open the mini washer. Otherwise, it pushes the rug out of the way.
A:AnswerThe LG - SideKick 1.0 Cu. Ft. 6-Cycle High-Efficiency Pedestal Washer - Graphite Steel, Model # WD100CV is designed for compatibility with select LG Front Load Washers manufactured from 2009 or later, it will not work with other brands/manufacturers...^IFV
A:AnswerThe WM2140 is a unit manufactured from 2010, LG redesigned the pedestals and the bottom of the washer and dryers to use different connectors. They are not compatible. ^CP
A:Answerthere is a stacking bracket required to safely attach the full sized washer on top of the pedestal, and it is designed to work with a compatible LG machine (the feet of the full sized machine must match perfectly with the bracket, and it highly unlikely a different brand of washer would fit properly).
A:AnswerThe sales woman at Best Buy did mention that all of the washers were tested prior to leaving the manufacturer to ensure they each work properly. Maybe that is why there are droplets in there. That is the only thing I can think of!
