Hello, we have just bought a first-hand LG Thinq WV5-1275W. On the Cotton cycle, with cold water, it takes 2hours 20 minutes to run this cycle. Our Hoover took 56 minutes for the same cycle. No information in manual to change the time for this cycle. What to do?
Has anybody had problems with the inlet valve leaking?
Can I just use cold water with this machine? the specs say: Notes Requires Hot and Cold Water Connections. Does that mean some programs are hot water only? I find this really confusing. I only want to use cold water and should have that option. I look forward to hearing from someone.
Washer heats it's own water if you don't have the hot water inlet connected.
I have connected my LG 1275w washing to hot and cold inlet taps. My hot is heated by gas. Id like to know if the machine uses this hot inlet or takes it purely from the cold supply and heats it. It's really slack that this info isn't made clear or is hard to find. If the machine heats the water can I turn off the hot inlet?
Yes you can turn off the hot inlet - put a cap over it. It is there for the option if you have a cheaper hot water supply ie solar
Thanks for your advice. It's working fine.
wondering why the machine stopped after the rinse cycle, the item was queen size doona cover and 32 minutes still showing for completion, I waited 40 mins hoping for the machine to adjust itself and it did not happen, so removed the soaking wet cover to hang outside. this is the 2nd time it has happened.
I've also had this problem and now it won't turn on at all. Did you figure out why it was happening?
Similar problem here; the machine is unable to get past certain points in a cycle. Currently it is in a loop with 33 minutes remaining, previously 7 minutes, before that 55.... and so on. It still "works" during this glitch- the drum turns, the heater keeps the water hot, pump still functions but it just keeps living out its favourite minute :/
how long is the allergen cycle with steam?
I brought this machine without fully understanding what I getting myself into. I typically wash on a cold water cycle only. Just to clarify - I am assuming that the lengthy steam cycles require using hot water?
No, the washer has a internal heater so the hot water inlet can be left unconnected without any loss of function
Hi does this wash machine heat it's own water? There is both hot and cold Inlets, does the hot need connected? I only have cold water supply available Thanks
My LG WV5 -1275W washing machine stops at exactly 7 minutes before the end of the cycle. LG claims this is because of incorrect installation in that an extension was added to the drain hose. The technician made this judgement without looking at the back of the machine. Nowhere in their installation instructions does it say not to use an extension drain hose. In fact, their online library has instructions on how to do this. The plumber who installed the machine followed the manual instructions. Has anyone else had this problem?
No - they did not use an extension hose when they installed my machine and it’s working perfectly. I would insist that they (whoever you bought it from) come and fix it!
Does this type of front loader require both the hot and cold water inlets to be connected in order to wash with hot water?
Yes both cold and hot water
You said earlier that you don't need them both connect and now you say they do? Which is it?
I just got this machine yesterday to replace my 13 year old Samsung front loader. My old machine only had a cold water inlet as it heated its own hot water. I noticed when I got home that the LG has both hot and cold inlets.... Does this mean I have to connect the hot water hose in order to do hot washes? I am on gas hot water so don't want to have to use it for my washing if not necessary. I was of the impression that all front loaders made their own hot water
Yeah same here - hard to know from the specs. I suspect I’m going to have to plumb in a hot water tap unfortunately :(
