Q: QuestionOnce it is paired with the matching washer can it run independently or do both have to be running at the same time to use it?

Asked 9 years ago by help.

• A:Answer It can run independently. We often use it that way. Note that it has its own plumbing and electrical. Make sure your outlet in the laundry room, which is usually a single 30 amp three-prong, is either changed to a double-outlet or you have an adapter that can handle the current if both waster and sidekick are running.

Q: QuestionHow tall is the set with the sidekick? I can't find the specs anywhere and it's being delivered in two days. I think my cabinet may be too low. Than

Q: QuestionI have existing hot/cold water line connections for my washer. Can the pedestal washer be linked in with the main washer on the same lines or would it require having a plumber out to create a separate dedicated set of connections and valves?

Asked 6 years ago by DT.

• A:Answer The LG 29 in. 1.0 cu. ft. SideKick Pedestal Washer in Graphite Steel, Model # WD200CV installs beneath your LG front load washer, just like a regular pedestal. It has its own power cord that plugs into a standard 120V/60 Hz household outlet, so there’s no need for special wiring. You also won’t need separate water or drain lines—the SideKick™ washer includes two Y-connectors for the hot and cold water lines, a third Y-connector for the drain and the necessary hoses to install the SideKick™ in concert with your LG front load washer. The SideKick™ and your front load washer operate independently, so you can wash one load in hot and one load in cold at the same time. You can also start or stop a cycle or open the door on either washer without interrupting the other. It offers six distinct cycles. Each cycle offers a unique combination of wash motions, water temperatures, rinse cycles and spin speeds that is ideally suited for the different types of loads. Depending on the cycle you choose, the LG SideKick™ washer automatically employs one of three wash motions, WaveForce,™ Rubbing or Swinging, to ensure optimal cleaning performance for all of your smaller loads. Just like any other washer, simply lift the lid and load clothes into the tub, making sure to avoid overloading. Use the detergent cup that comes with the washer to add the correct amount of liquid or powder HE detergent and then close the lid. Press the Power button and select your desired cycle, press Start/Pause and slide the drawer back into the frame. ^CP

Q: QuestionWhy is the washer so big if it only has 1.0 cu ft capacity? Is all the space above this just an empty 'box' for show? I'd rather just save the space and buy one that's sized to 1 cubic foot.

Asked 9 years ago by SarahG.

• A:Answer The main washer is Huge (5.2 capacity). The Sidekick is 1.0 capacity, which is a smaller separate washer that sits underneath the main washer and it is a pedestal.

Q: QuestionWhen placed on the floor, what is the ground clearance? What is the maximum lip height for a washer tray/pan that this pedestal can work with?

Asked 5 years ago by David.

• A:Answer The LG 29" SideKick™ 1.0 Cu. Ft. 6-Cycle High-Efficiency Pedestal Washer - Graphite Steel, Model # WD200CV has less than an inch of clearance under it and you will not be able to place a washer tray/pan under it. You can use a washer tray/pan that the entire unit can fit in that has enough clearance spacing in front of the SideKick™ Pedestal Washer that allows you to open the drawer or has a lip that is less than an inch. The SideKick™ Pedestal Washer has a depth of 50 9/16" with the drawer open which means you need a clearance of over 19 11/16" in front of the SideKick™ Pedestal Washer to open the drawer fully...^IFV

Q: QuestionCan LG-Sidekick 1.0 Cu. ft. 6-cycle high-efficiency pedestal washer work independently without the large LG washer?

Asked 9 years ago by Wildlili.

• A:Answer I watched the installation, and it seems possible to run it independently. The sidekick has its own electrical and plumbing, so it doesn't depend on the washer for filling nor draining. One issue to check is the warranty condition: does it require that a waster be on top of it to fulfill the warranty requirements?

Asked 4 months ago by JN.

This SideKick model is designed to fit under 27-inch wide LG front load washers, while the WM8900HBA is a 29-inch wide unit.
