LG Electronics Washing Machines

LG Electronics, a South Korean home appliance manufacturer, ships approximately 10 million washing machines annually to the North American market. The company also produces air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, cooking appliances and vacuum cleaners. It offers 14 front-loading washing machines as well as combo washer/dryer units.

LG History

LG Electronics was established in 1958 as GoldStar, producing South Korea's first radios, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners. The company has received a number of awards for innovation and design. World firsts have included the development and launch of the 60-inch plasma TV and a series of internet-enabled products, including refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and microwave ovens. With LG's internet-enabled washing machines, wash programs can updated to reflect changes in fabrics. This is done by connecting the appliance to the consumer's home computer, which, through the web, can download software to adjust existing wash programs to match the needs of new textiles.

Special Features Of LG Washing Machines

LG washing machines feature many special functions, including Steam Direct Drive with Steam Refresh, TrueSteam with Allergiene cycle, a stain-level cycle, automatic load detection, a suds detector, and child locks for safety, as well as a delay-start and error-message features.

LG's Steam Direct Drive washing machine provides the Steam Refresh function which removes wrinkles and odors with hundreds of steam particles in high temperature. The True Steam with Allergiene penetrates fabrics for optimal cleaning and reduces allergens by more than 95 percent according to the LG product description.

The SteamFresh makes it possible for users to refresh clothing and reduce wrinkles in up to five garments at one time, eliminating the need for ironing. The delay-start function permits the user to program the machine to start at a more convenient time, such as in the middle of the night or while at work. The error-message indicator and self-diagnosis features avoid incorrect programming by the user. Washing machines come in standard white as well as Emerald Green, Pure Silver, Stainless Steel, Wild Cherry Red, Midnight Blue, White and Bahama Blue.

Maintenance Of LG Washing Machines

Normal maintenance of LG washing machines includes checking hoses for tears and thin spots. Hoses are expected to last approximately five years. Water inlet filter screens must be cleaned when the washing machine indicates an error message that water isn't entering the machine. The screens can be plugged by hard-water scale, water-supply sediments and plumbing scale. Occasionally, the drain pump filter--which ensures excess lint and foreign objects, such as coins, keys and buttons, don't cause damage to the water pump--may need to be removed and cleared of such items.

Energy Efficiency And LG Washing Machines

LG offers a number of special features on its website to assist customers making purchasing decisions. An online worksheet permits visitors to compare model functions. Information is also available on where to buy LG products, as well as help in locating appliance repair persons. LG provides a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week customer helpline at (800) 243-0000.

LG's Warranty

A one-year warranty applies and provides for free repair if the washing machine fails due to a defect in material and workmanship within a year of date of purchase. The warranty applies only if the washing machine is maintained, installed and operated according to all instructions supplied with the product.
