Can anyone help me with this?

What is difference between Samsung VRT and VRT Plus? Is it one balance ring vs two? Or is it additional sensors to detect vibration like an accelerometer.

Do LG front loaders work on a five point suspension system? Do all front loads have one balance ring?

Thank you in advance

Let's see...

Hello,

The answer to your Questions?

1. About 200 dollars

2. 1

3. Uses the sine/cosine wave generated off the slowdown of the loaded drum...if the mountains and valleys of the wave are too negative or posive, it drops the load again, tries rebalance up to 3 times. Then tumbles each way, and tries again...Will default to "let's do it anyway" or "let's quit!"

4. No

5. No, they use 6 like most all

Hope this Helps,
LaVidaBoem

My 1998 Electro-Frigi-White FL has ZERO balance rings and little trouble spinning (although greater than zero).

Accelerometers: Each only works in one plane, and be assured that imbalance can take place in more than one plane. There is NO EXCUSE for having a single accelerometer in a $600~$1200 machine. They are so cheap, a $15 toy helicopter has one.

(Editorial)
So if a washer struggles to spin and it's not attributable to washing an absurd load like a single pillow or beachtowel, the engineering is incompetent.

>>4>> Do All Front loades use a balance>> 'NO'

>>5>>Do LG's (LowGrades) use a 5>>'No, they use...'
