Where can I find a description of what the cycles of a LG washer perform. Ex: fill,wash,drain,spin,half fill etc... I looks in the owners manual with no luck. |

I'd like to know it either! The Users' manual is so "thin"... Diomede |

I have see somewhere, where the stain cycle adds a pre-wash and an extra rinse. I have a 2016cw washer. I thinks it's the person with the picture of the inside of his LG washer. |

Don't you mean forced warm water? That is what mine has. |

My WM2010CW does a forced HOT wash for the Stain cycle, it adds time to the wash and an extra rinse, no prewash... If I had my way, I'd be able to add both a prewash and an extra rinse, but it will not let me! The Cotton/Towels cycle and the Normal cycle are identical on my machine except that the default spin speed is extra high for the Cotton/Towels cycle and high for the Normal cycle. On the Cotton/Towels and Normal cycle, my machine will: -fill -wash -drain -full speed spin -fill -rinse -drain -full speed spin -fill -rinse -drain -full speed spin for about 10 minutes. I just LOVE this washer! It's a great workhorse, does a GREAT job cleaning, uses a surprisingly small amount of water but everything still comes out VERY soft as if I'd washed it in my double rinse Unimatic! |

I've never seen a need for more rinses unless I'm doing a full load. With a medium load or smaller, there is no need for a third rinse. For large loads, I use a third rinse but only because I have this little obsession with making everything very very soft. If I were to stop using the extra rinse feature, my towels might not feel silky smooth, but they'd be better rinsed than a topload washer could.

I have a description of the cycles somewhere. When I find it I'll scan it and post it. What I've always loved about my LG is that the cycles are truly different from each other in that amounts of water, tumbling/spin times, tumbling intervals and spin periods are different in each one. I DON'T, however, appreciate the limitations the cycle choices place on my wash/rinse temps and spin speeds. Also, the HAND WASH cycle is very gentle indeed and I've used it to wash things labeled "DRY CLEAN ONLY" with success, including silk neckties, wool sweaters and pants. With a gentle spin and blocking afterwards, stuff has come out very well. Very hard to fault this machine; my laundry has never been easier to do, cleaner, as well rinsed or as well spun dry. |

The rinses go as high as the machine will go which is water level up to the bottom lip of the door(More than adequate IMHO). That happens for rinses on all cycles. The Permanent Press cycle, which is one of the two I use the most, has that as a pre-wash level and awash level. On the Sanitary,Normal and Cotton/Towels cycle (where the wash level is annoying low), the prewash water is sometimes not enough to wet the entire load if it's a big one. I consider that one of the machines biggest flaws. The biggest flaw is, one more time, THE G-D D*MN THING SHOULD RUN ON 220V, 30 AMPS SO IT COULD HEAT MORE WATER, MORE QUICKLY!!!!!
