LG ThinQ washer takes in water at end of final spin. Is this normal? |

I have a new LG washer and just noticed at the end of the final spin when it is coasting down it opens the cold inlet valve three times and lets in cold water for a second or so each time. Is this normal? Most of the water goes down the inside of the glass door from the soap dispenser but some also goes on to the load. I cannot figure out what the purpose of this would be. Perhaps it is an error with my machine?
Anyone else noticed this on the new LG front loaders?

Yes this is completely normal, on EU models that is. Check out “0000158” on YouTube and his does the same along with many others. I believe it’s meant to clean the seal of residue but isn’t well thought out, but that sums up LG. | ||

Jon, your load looks very similar to the load I will be doing in about 3 hours, but mine will only get to 71 to 73 degrees C. I'm thankful my initial fill routine doesn't do those 4 or 5 short bursts of water I will post later what my cycle time turned out to be, including the prewash, extra hot, turbowash, max soil level.

Thanks Guys, that is very reassuring. Jon, that is the exact same thing my LG does when it has slowed the spin down from 1400. 3 short bursts of water then drum stops and then jiggles to loosen the load. Not sure if I think it is a good idea or not. As I tend to always use the dryer probably would prefer it didn't take in that water at the end but I guess in the scheme of things, it isn't much. Thank you for the link to the video.
Overall, I really like this machine. Love the 4 jets spraying in to the load. It does do a brief spray rinse on turbo. It has some cool drum action too. The wash cycles are pretty long but have found if I use the mixed load it only takes 1 hour 40 mins and can set 40C and 1400 spin on that cycle. I tend to avoid the turbo cycle as it uses a fair bit more water. We live in rural Australia and rely on tank water. As we are facing a very long hot dry summer I am pretty stingy with water usage. Happy laundering Simon | ||
