Thanks for the Review. LG in another video stated not to use Distilled Water because it messes up the Dryer’s Sensors. But no worries. The new ones don’t have the Reservoir anymore. They now have a direct hose connect … from the same water tap the Washing Machine uses. Using a Y connector
I heard that too from the posts. I use reverse osmosis in mine. I really don't know why distilled water would hurt it. Every steamer I use, I use distilled water so it does not get a build up of mineral deposits. Strange, but they should know about their machine
Don't use distilled water with this dryer. It wont work correctly with the sensors and its specifically not recommended. This dryer was designed for tap water. If your tap water is really hard, get a decent water softener. Hard water damage will ruin your sinks, tubs, showers, pipes, fridge, dishwasher, washer, dryer, etc. Especially bad with sprinklers and will stain your home. Plus it tastes horrible. Wit softener, use potassium instead of salt too. Its much healthier and makes up for price difference by lasting longer than salt.
I don't use distilled water, I use well water that goes through the softener and reverse osmosis. the first dry I received had issues with the drying sensor and would not dry the clothes, they replaced it and I have not had an issue with this one. except I have to put it on Extra Dry. I have had to do this from the beginning.
I bought it because of the size. The only thing is the dryer is not good at drying in the normal setting, you have to set it on extra dry. The first unit i had wouldn't run for more than 5 minutes. I am thinking the sensor was bad and it was showing the clothes being dry. The replacement for that unit dried the clothes, but oy when you set it for extra dy
I've read a few comments about the lint filter protruding into the tub and snagging clothes as they pass. LG now has a fix it kit for the lint filter. I'm wondering if that was ONLY on older LG 8101 dryers and been fixed, or they still have that problem?
We want to buy this for a 4 bedroom airbnb house. Frequently we have a 4 hour window to turnover all 4 bedsets (sheets, duvet covers) and bath towels for 4 baths. Curious about how long it takes to dry a load full of bath towels or a load of bedsheets
It was brand new, so we just got a replacement. I am sure it is not that bad to replace. What I would do is look up the part number and then search for that part number on Amazon. That is what I did when my heating element went out on my glass top stove. I tried to make a video of the replacement, but I couldn't hold the phone and replace the element 🙃
It is pretty quiet, the only issue I have is the dryer sensor that controls how dry the clothes get is not the best. I have to put it to extra dry when drying the clothes. The first machine I got had an issue with the sensor and would shut off because the sensor was saying it was dry.
I have this exact dryer but I have the gas model but I have a question about the jumbo dry setting I can dry my blankets or comforters it over dries them and the sensor doesn’t tell it to shut off but it works on all the other setting with regular laundry and dries great other than the jumbo dry. Have you ever dried a large load on jumbo dry to see if it has over dried your laundry
For me, the first dryer i got the sensor was bad from the factory. This one doesn't seam to work all that well, sometimes the towels are still damp and the dryer turns off. I have the lint filter cleaned after every use and when I do the towels I clean it after the first run. My old dryer was better, just not as big
Have you ever tried to take out the lint holder? I clean my lint out after every cycle. The clean filter light is staying on. So I cracked the holder and it is full. I tried finding videos but can't find one for this exact dryer. Thanks
