LG demo guy also told me not to use the 1000 rpm spin. I think i'm going to stick to 400 from now on as the clothes don't crease as much as with 800 and there is no need for the "crease control" modifier which will be necessary with faster spins. Though i don't see too much improvement with less creases, compared to just snapping clothes before line drying. Faster spin means more snapping. More work.
My test for level when it is on spin was to put a glass of water in the centre and watch how much the water moved. In some parts of the spin cycle after it reaches full speed there is hardly any water movement in the glass and in other parts I see some disturbances. Machine is level AFAICT. This is at 800 rpm. The machine is level diagonally tested. You need to clear the top completely for this. Mine has since accumulated a few containers and detergent boxes over the years.
The installers only do a simple rocking test which i don't think is sufficient. I had the spirit level ready when the machine arrived and made them adjust some more. Minor. I've seen people put machines on stands which serves no purpose and depending on the stand can cause more vibration. They could even refuse warranty. Especially since it easier for mice to meddle with the bottom. Ours is flat on the tiles. I never understood why people put it on a stand. A friend told me when he got a samsung the thing danced around and he was then told to get a stand and it would stop. So they do rip people off if they can. The LG guy wanted to sell me a magnetic water softener. I just smiled at him and told him to keep it. I never got an AMC. Three years in all good.
As for water pressure am looking at yours and the minimum the manual states is (1 - 10 kgf/cm3). I find this curious as mine states ( 0.3 - 10kgf/cm3). Why has the minimum level increased since
The best thing about LG's is they used to have the lowest minimum water pressure. A tank above the roof would be be perfectly fine with 0.3kgf/cm3. I'm not sure with yours now. Might just be enough. I can't remember the formula now but i discussed the calculation here a few years back.
The auto resume, resumes on the cycle level so if the power cuts out anywhere in the three cycles it will resume at the beginning of the cycle. Almost at the end of a wash cycle and the power goes out, it will restart at the beginning of the wash cycle etc. There is no memory of time elapsed with my model.
After start is seems to measure the load, never mentions how much and then its on its way. That solenoid valve holds the door after cycle ends for a few seconds as well so its imperative to watch for the red key indicator to go off. I usually return a few minutes after the end of cycle jingle so it does not bother me much.
Is it quieter or is your other one become louder over the years. It's gradual but everybody says new machine is quieter so i wonder if that's a sign of bearings wearing out. Doesn't seem that loud by itself but the difference is obvious when compared to another.
I don't understand the point of the wifi. I rarely need to intervene once a wash cycle begins and i'm not bothered about progress. The only time i might interrupt the cycle is to set it to rinse hold if i need to step out for a bit and then when i return continue with the spin cycle. I guess they are allowing for an alternative UI with the phone now so after loading up you can set everything from there ?
