Nick can you help me? i dont really know alot about machines apart from motor brush and other basic repairs, you mentioned about altering the tacho on your hottie do LG direct drive motors (brushless motor mounted directly onto outer tub. for the benefit of our friends wondering what im on about) have a tacho? what does it do and how do you know how fast the tumble speed is? the LG i have is very fast when washing cottons i would say it looks very like a servis quartz 60Rpm but am not sure (does anybody know the tumble speed?) and if LG are below 60 how can i speed it up? if it is 60 rpm or more Well Done LG. to get it to really look like a quartz i fill it up on synthetics which has the same level as a quartz on a cotton full load (about 1/3 way up the door AND i have a 6Kg load) and pause the prog to reset to cottons. great splashy action but no motor noise .....sob sob Help appreaciated by anybody who knows about UK LGs |

Nick the LG is my folks and apart from watching every now and again i have established a few things 20 mins into the wash prog any extra water i added via synthetics is pumped away so the remaining level is very low. but at least the washing is well wetted. cotton wash with a small load uses more water than a full load at 2/3 full the water comes up to the base of the door seal (about 2 mins fill and tumble) however with it jam packed it takes one minute fill (no tumble) and adds water in 10 second bursts when it feels like it. the wash is useless and the rinse! ha ha ha washed full load with persil colour powder no comfort and after 3 rinses when i took the washing out there was a white talc powderey residue all over the drum. if you want a decent wash especially for whites i would select cottons at 90/60 and let it wash adding about 3-4 litres water this will wet washing more but not cause the pump to kick in. then when it pumps out wash water (catch it in time before it empties) i set it to synthetics on cold temp and let it complete the cycle. something else interesting is that on synthetics you can select a full 13 mins 1200rpm spin. better rinse and wash i think as it fills to the normal full load servis Q level. i can also set the 30 min quck wash with any spin speed and all that happens is with 1200 it adds 6 mins to the prog time great really. wool also gets the option to have 1200 which is unusual these days as hotpoints and hoover logics were the only machines i recall being able to fast spin woolies. i would have considered an LG for myself but they are useless STAY CLEAR i now have (thanks to lavamatjon) set my eyes on the beuatiful MIELES. gotta love them well built machines with wacky high water level rinses! Toodle ooo for now anybody who ever wants to reply to any of my threads is welcome to do so. any info is appreciated |
