QuestionWhat are the dimensions of front load washers and dryers? Trying to design a laundry room.
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer First of all I want to say, it's great that you are asking us about the dimensions before you start building your new laundry closet :) Washer (WxHxD) 27" x 38 11/16" x 29 3/4" (51" D with door open) DLEX2650W electric dryer 27" x 38 11/16" x 29 3/4" DLGX2651W gas dryer 27" x 38 11/16" x 29 3/4" So all the laundry units have the same (WxHxD), but VERY important is to leave extra space for clearance! Each unit needs AT LEAST: 1" on each side 5" in the back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you. We appreciate your feedback, please give us a “thumbs up” if this answer is helpful to you; and please let us know if we can assist you with anything else. Have a lovely weekend and good look with your new home project!

QuestionHave to manually drain water??In researching new washers, we have run across several people complaining about the need to manually drain water from the unit. I've read comments saying it needs to be done monthly, others saying much more frequently. For example, a review on Consumer Reports wrote: "The Achilles heel of this technological marvel is you have to DRAIN WATER AFTER EVERY CYCE TO AVOID MOLD. On the lower Left on the front of the washer is the drain pump filter cap. You have to open it, unclip a small black drain hose and remove the plug to drain remaining water. I measured 3 CUPS OF WATER for each load. Keep a small container to drain the water into. I did not buy the bottom drawer, so it involves bending down, seniors beware. OK, I'll do it to avoid mold, but DRAINING WATER is one of the highest priority features. Water should drain out of the washer automatically! " Can someone clarify this for me? Is it something that needs to be done routinely? And if so, how often?
Asked 13 years ago by JeffV64.
- Answer I have not hear of that before and you shouldn't have to drain it manually every time you use it. The lint filter needs to be cleaned regularly (depends on how often you use the machine), but otherwise no manual draining should be necessary. After every wash, please leave the door ajar so the moist air can escape. Please feel free to contact LG Customer Service at (800) 243-0000 or visit the LiveChat Team at www.LG.com/us/support for assistance. Thank you, have a great week!

QuestionHow do I properly drain the hose/filter at the bottom of washer?I tried to drain it and when I removed the filter, water came pouring out all over my floor. Yet the tube appeared empty.
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Make sure the end of the drain tube is lower than the level of the washer. I used a shallow bowl to collect the water. It took several minutes to drain when I wanted to check the filter.

QuestionWhat is the smaller (3.6?) model that corresponds to the WM3470HVA and DLGX3471V?I want the exact same washer and dryer but in the next size down. What is the the smaller model?
Asked 12 years ago by Sadie.
- Answer I believe it is the 3071 and 3070. But they are no longer going to be available on Best Buy. We recently had to upgrade to the 3470 models because of this. If you want to go one below these, then it's the 2651 and 2650, but again, they are no longer going to be available on Best Buy. Look for new models soon (I would imagine).

QuestionIs there a water temperature sensor?Since the temperature of the Hot water is hard to know, especially if there is cold water in the lines between washing machine usages. Does the WM2650 have a water temperature sensor that senses the water temperature for Cold/Warm/Hot cycles to determine how much Hot water to add or does it just add a preset ratio of water from the Hot and Cold water supply lines?
Asked 13 years ago by Bearcats.
- Answer The machine does have a sensor to know when the right water temperature is reached.

QuestionFunky Smell? Leaving door open?I heard that you have to leave the door to the washer open after all loads or else a funky moldy smell develops. True?
Asked 12 years ago by Katie.
- Answer Just wipe the rubber seal in the front with diluted bleach every week and that should help with the moldy smells. There is also a special washer cleaner you can use monthly.
