Will LG Fix This Major Issue? LG Ventless Washer/Dryer Combo Test and Review | WM6998HBA 

which model did you use for your RV. We are looking at getting a Class A motorhome but it does not have one now. thanks

Glad to hear you're happy with it so far! That's not a bad idea, doing towels separate. In our experience mixed loads also took a very long time to dry. Thanks for watching!

Glad to hear you're loving it! Hopefully it continues to serve you well for a long time.

@@BoulevardHome The key is maintenance. Cleaning the lint filter and condenser fins is very easy and more important, very accessible. Lots of open space, unlike the cramped GE all in one. Baby this machine and it will last.

Glad to hear yours is working well. We hope these units work well for a long time, thanks for watching!

We ran into that same issue with our test, so we would agree that those with pets should definitely consider that before buying. Thanks for sharing!

This might only work if you have pets that don’t shed

The lint filter being on top definitely restricts what you can place on top of this unit, correct. That is one downside. In terms of cleaning the compressor, it doesn't seem any more difficult to access this one than it does on the GE. Thanks for watching!

So sorry to hear that, wishing you the best of luck in fixing the issue!

Save space or save _space_ 👽? Jokes aside, that's a valid concern many people have! Some people have actually just swapped out their washer for this all in one unit, so you can still use it as a wash only if you want! You could even run a load as wash only, move it to the dryer, and then start another load as a wash + dry and have both loads finish together! Thanks for watching!

This unit would be great in an RV! The biggest downside we ran into was just the long cycles, but time will tell if something bigger shows up. A concern that has come up with other all-in-one units is lint buildup on the condenser coils, which just means it requires a bit of annoying maintenance to clean those up. Other than that, there are just the little details mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the question! The first thing I would check is definitely whether or not it was installed correctly and is balanced properly. It shouldn't be shaking so much that it's banging on the door.

@@BoulevardHome it's directly kept on the floor. (in India, no proper provision for a laundry area. So, people just make do with available space. But manufacturer recommends that the machine be kept on the floor). Banging is not too violent though. It's balanced (checked with spirit level). Is it due to unbalanced load? If so how to balance a load?

Thanks for sharing!

We had similar problems with the addition of the clothes sticking to the walls of the drum and not tumbling at all. We found that if you drain the machine after every cycle using the drain hose on the front lower left exterior of the machine many of these problems improve (including the lint problem around the front door gasket). We drain about 1-2 cups of water after every cycle. I have a second repairman scheduled to come today to fix this issue. Since this is a relatively new product, my experience is that repairman don’t know how to fix it.

@@kathleenmcnabb6854 Thank you for responding, I had someone come out to look at the issue, but didn’t know a thing about it! Still had to pay him…I will surely try and drain the lower one and hopefully it will do the trick…😊

@@gr8tGod I learned another trick that may help the lint issue. When you remove the lint filter on top of the machine there is a plastic screen of sorts at the rear of the lint filter cavity. You can remove it and take out excess lint that has accumulated behind the screen. You need to remove the screw cover and the screw on the top right hand side of the long side of the lint filter cavity. Then remove the plastic piece that covers the long side on the right. Then you can remove the screen at the back and clean it. This information is in the manual which you apparently have to read cover to cover when you own this machine. I have never owned a machine that is so much work.

@@kathleenmcnabb6854 Thank you again for your suggestions. Helps a lot! I will definitely try and hopefully it will make a difference! 😊

The LG does have a drying sensor, but it is a little confusing as to whether or not its being used when the dry cycle is selected. It would be nice to see them update the app and unit to include a timed-dry and a sensor-dry option that are clearly differentiated by their names.

i have same issue it is heating my clothes not drying them !! the clothes were burning when get them out !! so disappointed

@TheSammadan Did you ever get it fixed? Mine isn't burning, the clothes are just still damp with wet spots after drying and also after additional drying time.

@TheSammadan LG sent a repairman today and he said it's a design flaw. He said these machines are just no good and were never going to work properly.

Okay, I'm back to thinking the drying problem is because of the drain hose, I think (and I'm pretty certain) the technician was actually wrong. I read in other comments that if the hose is too high then it won't drain properly. So I tried draining it (lowering the hose) directly into a 32 gallon garbage can. It worked a lot better, only a couple items felt a little damp so I ran just those items again on 'gentle' and they fully dried.

You're absolutely correct, we did just open a store in Las Vegas! We have a great showroom with more than just appliances (we also sell furniture and mattresses). We'd love to help you out with any of those needs next time they come up, so always feel free to walk on in, thanks for watching!

@@BoulevardHome I am sure that you have lovely furniture and mattresses, I use a Hästins from Sweden and furniture around the house, a "certain" level that is custom made sofas and a higher end of furniture that is built to last and of a style that will be "current" over the long term. A lot of these "box" stores are mainly in the business of selling financing and the appliances, mattresses and furniture is secondary. Much like McDonald's; selling hamburgers is a sideline compared to their real estate business.

Uhh... GE has a "Five year" warranty with many asterisks. A) Labor isn't included beyond the first year. Labor is, BY FAR, the most expensive part of any repair. B) The 5-year portion only applies to the heat pump C) The 10-year portion only applies to the motor. For the period of: We will replace: One year From the date of the original purchase Any part of the unit which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this limited one-year warranty, we will also provide, free of charge, all labor and related service to replace the defective part. Five years From the date of the original purchase The sealed heat pump drying system (compressor, condenser, evaporator and all connecting tubing) which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this additional four-year limited warranty, you will be responsible for any labor and related service costs. Ten years From the date of the original purchase The motor, if it should fail due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this additional nine-year limited warranty, you will be responsible for any labor and related service costs. The GE does NOT have a 5-year warranty in the sense that most appliances have a 1-year warranty. A GE service at year 2-5 on the heat pump will still likely be a solid $300+. Also, thank you for including your "WhERE I LiVe" nonsense as though it's relevant or actionable. You could at least share where you claim to live so it could be useful for people.

We'll definitely have to look into that, thanks for the tip!

I don't know if you got it fixed yet but there is a hidden update on one of the melodies that you can get on the app that finally fixed mine. It would never shut off until I updated everything from the app. I work 12 hour days so when all said and done with I would be gone 14 hours or more and since I put in a load before work the machine would end up running for those whole 14 hours. Also on another note the tech's they sent were great, prompt, and professional but (always a but) they have no idea what they are doing on these machines. Either LG just never trained them or they are just totally ignoring some of the problems. I kept contacting customer service and not once did they say the machine not shutting off was a issue. They just kept sending the tech out and he couldn't do anything since it was a software issue. They ended up sending a tech 7 times before finally we decided to update all the melodies and season stuff. One of those fixed it never shutting off.

This unit does not clean the coils automatically, but I'd imagine there are some informative videos elsewhere on how to do that.

Correct! It's not quite ready yet, but it's on its way, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching!

We definitely aren't fans of its appearance, but hopefully there are some people out there who like it!
