Washer-dryer

Chet did not find the drying time for nasty clothes in the instructions for the new machine - maybe someone can tell you how long an average women's down jacket should dry approximately?

Oh, I have a very long story about the indesit dryer. The first car, after three breakdowns, was returned to the store, because the service could not understand why her "brains" were breaking. The second one we have already finalized ourselves, we only change the belts every year, and yes, we also replaced the engine. And the car was only 4 years old Indesit, this model was very quickly taken out of production. But the narrow 42cm and with drying.

Our family's washing machine can be placed in a museum: it is about 50 years old! And it still works, unlike me, who wished an easy life.

Since I did not deal with modern machines, I ask experienced users for advice: where is it better to install an Electrolux vending machine - in the bathroom or in the kitchen?

The floor in the bathroom is tiled, and in the kitchen it is wooden under linoleum, laid on logs. Will the kitchen machine be stable (does not creak floor yet)?

In the bathroom, there is more humidity and a little less space.

I am always glad to hear your opinion.

Before the new year, my village stove broke down, the Indesin typewriter lasted for 9 years.

.... 9 years, and that never broke at all?

Lisa08 for 9 years there was not a single breakdown, and when it broke down for repairs, they announced half the cost of the machine, so it was easier for me to buy a new one.

this is certainly better than another, but that machine still needs to be given its due, it worked for 9 years ...

[Laugh]

bought ARDO FLO 128L, 1200 rpm, without drying and with loading 8 kg.

Laugh
A little more than 2 years have passed since the message was written, tell me, are you happy with your assistant? I look after myself a new typewriter, until I stopped at nothing ... I looked at your model, it suits in all respects!

And another question for everyone ... does anyone have an Atlant washing machine? I would like to hear feedback about her work ...

[Crochet]

Crochet, in terms of programs, streaks and volume - super, but there are weak points.

1, Brains (board) flew in 2 weeks - changed under warranty and free of charge.
2. The door (part of the hinge inside the case) flew off some stopper and to open it wide open, you need to hold the hinge with one hand. Otherwise, something clicks in the case. My husband’s hands will never get there thoroughly. But to say - it broke itself or the children so "had fun", I can not. There is a suspicion that not by itself, but no one will admit it.
3. The program selector has become naughty and sometimes does not clearly turn on the desired program or the screen flashes on its own when the machine is turned off. I think because of the same switch.

In general, not such a terrible "breakdown", but very annoying. And so she plows me - not everyone can stand it. I wash everything that can be stuffed there, down to thin mattresses, pillows, bedspreads and more.
At the same time, there are chic delicate programs: jackets, raincoats, men's suits, expensive wool, good silk, everything is washed very well and is removed from the drum in perfect condition.

[Laugh]

Thank you very much for your answer!

A washing machine BOSCH WLX 20363 by any chance nobody owns?

3. The program selector has become naughty and sometimes does not clearly turn on the desired program or the screen flashes on its own when the machine is turned off. I think because of the same switch.

With this, urgently call the master before the guarantee runs out. It was the programmer that went off, my Kaiser had it changed three times already.If you don’t do it now, it will be even worse, it will start to turn off, turn on, in general, live its own life.

The warranty ended a long time ago, with the door open it does not turn on and will never turn on, and there are no program failures during washing. The programmer is electronic: I can select only the program, the time and T wash are already included in it, I can add a rinse or change the spin speed - that's all. While the control board, it was just changed under warranty, in order, there should be no failures in work.
So we will wait until the last, all the same, the repair will already be for our own money.
Suddenly it will last another 6-7 years, and then I will change the car

My washing machine is leaking. She is of course already old, she is 16 years old - Indesit with drying. It flows through the door. Can anyone come across such a problem. Now I don’t know what to do with it - throw it away and buy a new one, or you can think of something.

If through the door, then most likely the gasket was worn out. I think to replace it and everything will be normal.

Bought into a family of 5 🔗, honest Chinese, with a drying option. The service life is 4 weeks.
We live in the private sector, there are no problems with drying clothes in good weather. But, if the weather is bad, then the trouble - there is simply nowhere to dry in the hut. Therefore, the choice was precisely with drying, as an option for such a case. That is, drying in CM is supposed to happen sporadically, from time to time.
The first launch was made, so as not to drive it completely idle, with old rags, at 95 Celsius, to rinse thoroughly. The second time they pushed in a large heavy thick blanket with a drying mode. It was washed perfectly, of course, it did not dry completely, since its weight was much more than 4 kg, and in terms of volume it occupied the entire drum, but at the end of drying its condition could be called "pre-aldente", that is, damp. The following control washings with dryers convinced that if the machine is not overloaded, it dries quite well. True, for a long time, and not entirely quiet. In LG, in addition to the DD engine, they would have to invent some DD pumps that will make noise like their engines, that is, quietly ... The engine itself is the quietest part in the car, we can say that it is almost inaudible ... Everything else pumps up, pumps out, hums and grunts much louder. But within reasonable limits. Although, it's just IMHO ...
The washing machine itself stands on linoleum, which is covered with a wooden floor. Initially, it was not exactly level at the level, they left the fine-tuning for later, but so far it has remained so, since there is nothing more permanent than temporary. But at the same time, - at 800 rpm it stands rooted to the spot, almost without vibration even when loaded to capacity, at 1400 the vibration is already felt more, but there are also no hints of movement or jumping around the room. That is, there are no problems with spinning, you can put on a timer, which you did a couple of times.
Initially, no foreign odors were observed during washing or drying. He copes with voltage drops without problems, which is important for my private sector.
You can dry in it at any time, separately from washing. And without pre-spin, although the machine itself, with each change in the drying time, persistently turns on the pre-spin mode. But this is turned off by the corresponding button ...
The DD engine power reserve is pleasantly striking. In a normal washing mode, the drum, before starting to rotate in one direction, first makes a reverse movement, and then immediately begins to rotate in the opposite direction. And no matter how hard the machine is loaded, it does all these movements very quickly and instantly. The impression is that if it were possible to load 50 kege into it, then it would have coped with it without any problems!
Some names of the washing modes are not quite well chosen.For a soviet person, it is unusual to read the operating instructions just to determine that the "Sportswear" mode is intended for washing synthetics.
In general, and, one might say, completely satisfied with the purchase. If anyone has any questions about this model, I will try to answer ...

legaGalya, what kind of washer you have, otherwise you need my candy in the trash. 7 programs do not work and the warranty has just ended

I have two drying machines. One in an old apartment is the Italian Ocean. She is already an old woman, she will soon be 18 years old. Mechanic, but plowing. During the entire period of work, only two repairs. The first is the shock absorber, a long time ago - under warranty. It's their own fault - it was immediately installed incorrectly. The second repair was about five years ago - the pump was replaced.

The second washing machine Kuppersbusch (Germany) is also not new. She is already 11 years old. The bearing was changed last year.

I have become so used to drying machines that I will refuse drying only in an absolutely hopeless situation.

I have become so used to drying machines that I will refuse drying only in an absolutely hopeless situation.

After five months of operating the CM with drying (see just above), I can only join this opinion ... Unless I add that if there was free space, I would still take a separate drying ...

A very sensible idea for a separate tumble dryer.
Drying built into the washer only spoils the laundry.
If the climate is rather humid or it is not possible to dry clothes on a rope or you do not want to do this, then you must definitely buy a tumble dryer complete with a washing machine.

For 10 years we have been using two machines with dryers Electrolux and Siemens, none of them spoiled anything.
Probably, of course, you can spoil it if you start drying natural silk on intensive drying.
And a drying machine is if there is a house, but there is no place for them in our apartments.

Drying built into the washer only spoils the laundry.

For half a year of active operation of its LG F1496AD3 in drying mode, this fact was not noticed ...

I have been using a washer-dryer since 1996. Indesite, Italian assembly. Now, of course, especially the assembly in Russia is lame.
And this one washed two children, working 2 times a day, seven days a week. This is 50 years in normal use.
I want to share my observation, it may come in handy. To make the laundry dry faster, it is not necessary to immediately set the entire drying time, but to do it in 2 stages: put it at 2 / 3- 3/4 of the estimated time. After that, take the laundry out of the machine, shake it (perspiration quickly leaves), and then put it to dry. The laundry will be drier in less time.

I read the topic, it seems that everyone is happy with their machines and ordered a LG F1480RDS washing machine and dryer on NG. Hopefully it doesn't. One of these days I have to come, I'm looking forward to it.

Hello. Please write, here's how much laundry you stuffed into the washer, and how much do you dry? I just came across in the description that the load in the washer is 5 kg, and in the dryer 3 (I mean exactly the same machine). And it turns out that you can't fill it completely (I almost help myself with my foot, I know what is wrong)?

Of course, you need to load less into drying than during washing, the laundry should rotate freely and be blown. I have a built-in Bosch with a dryer that has been plowing for 18 years ... TTT does not jinx it, I am very pleased.

that's how much linen you stuffed into the washer, and how much do you dry?

There are two options - either pull out half of the laundry for drying in two passes, or lay less at once. It is more economical, of course, to divide into two basins for drying, but personally I do not really like it when the drum is jammed, so I do not overload the drum when washing. Well, until completely dry, I also very rarely dry it. I prefer to turn it on for 20 minutes, so that the creases after the steam spin are straightened out.

Hello. Please write, here's how much laundry you stuffed into the washer, and how much do you dry?

Of course, when washing, you need to shove a little laundry, the less, the faster and more even the process.
I would like to say something else. If you need to CONSTANTLY dry all your washed laundry, then buy a tumble dryer separately. I also looked at this device “sideways” for a long time, but after it was bought by some of my acquaintances who simply do not have the opportunity to dry in an apartment, I reconsidered my attitude somewhat.
And if drying is needed from time to time, as I do, then load in small portions and dry 2 times, shaking the laundry between dryings (that is, it is better to divide the drying into 2 stages). Dries faster.

It not only dries faster, but also wrinkles less. I have a machine for 9 kg of washing and for 6 kg of drying, but I always wash less than 6 kg, so I do not divide the laundry, I immediately turn on washing + drying, when there is not enough laundry, then some things can not be ironed.

[Kapet]

KapetHow is your LG F1496AD3? what's new?

maybe someone has this too LG F1496AD3

share your impressions, pliz!

TATOSHENKA,
Natalia, hello! I also became the proud owner of this model only this week. Let me ask you, does the prewash button work for you? That is, I manually select steam / no steam, spin speed, etc., the required indicator lights up everywhere, but the pre-wash does not work. Or, by default, on the provided programs, she turns on herself and, according to our opinion, she, how to put it, sneeze? The powder is taken from the preliminary compartment. Well, also, tell us about your preferred mode, what features can there be? I didn't have a dryer yet. But this is an indescribable feeling - after 2.5 hours, put dry linen directly into the closet !!! What is it like? Everything is clear, but when you experience it yourself, you understand that there is no return to the past, and it is not pampering at all.

[Nika]

Nika, Hello. I have never used a prewash. Now I went and pressed the button, when pressed, there was a sound signal and the indicator came on. I don't even know what to answer you. I use all modes, but mostly mixed. The fact that she dries clothes I am still delighted and despite the heat and the opportunity to dry outside I use drying all the time. I even stopped using rinses because the laundry is already soft after drying, even terry towels.

Yes, yes, I confirm, both terry towels and fluffy bedding without lenors, I don't know how she does it. Itself, too, I tend to the mixed mode intuitively. And the function "refresh" in the morning delights me simply. A typewriter is a thing!

Nobody monitored the search for an electronic module on Indesit 1040 (1998, with drying, under two waters) ...? The hand does not rise to scrap it, although today the new LG brought it. In nature, I know that there are these modules, but my fitters are somehow sluggishly looking, I see they are used to making money only on belts and bearings))). Maybe someone has already come across these searches, share your ideas. Painfully, I love her darling, sorry for the scrap metal, there insides are indestructible and practically "eternal" stainless steel. tank ... Well, in fact, the owners of such a model already know about its merits ...

raise the topic! the old woman broke down - the machine, and it was decided to buy a washer and dryer instead, looked after the Electrolux EWW51476WD option 🔗 more expensive, I just can't afford it, and there is simply nowhere to put a dryer with a washing machine.Does anyone have one? can you share your impressions about her? is it a worthy purchase ??

Here I looked after the LG F14U1JBH2N machine. Everything suits, but there are some reviews that rubber heats up very much during drying and smells.
Maybe someone has this in use?

[Exocat]

Exocat, I have LG, but a different model. Also with drying. The smell appears, but not strong.

everything is within acceptable limits, in my opinion.

Exocat., and what is your model actually made in Korea? This is not good.

Exocat, what is your model really made in Korea? This is not good.

I haven't bought it yet, I'm just choosing. We need a car for a new apartment. Now I use Siemens with drying, I like everything, but for another Siemens apartment it is a little expensive and there is no steam refreshment in them. Therefore, I am considering LG.
What's wrong, in tm, that the machine is produced in Korea? And where should the correct typewriter come from?

I was advised by a Russian-assembled Lg master repairman, arguing that ours are more adapted to voltage drops.

[Exocat]

Exocat, on YouTube, the user of this machine talks about it in so much detail and shows it. Many episodes.

It is clear, but usually the premium segment of the brand is always assembled at home. My Siemens is assembled in Germany, as it is built-in and with drying. And with refrigerators, Liebherr faced the same story. Premium models from Germany, which is simpler, then Bulgaria and Slovenia.
So I can hardly wait for such a model to be assembled in Russia. They generally have one full-size one and with drying is presented on the official website.
Thank you for information.

Which user? You can link in a personal. I went to YouTube and saw that they were complaining about the smell of burnt rubber. But that video left some doubts about the adequacy of its author ... So I decided to ask people I trust here. What if someone just uses this ...

Not LG! she so jumps !!! Nothing helps, they set them immediately according to the level, they already put special rubber bands under the legs, they don't help ... It rattles very much ... With Indesito, Bosch, there have never been such problems ...

I unsubscribe, by the way. They made me a module for Indesit, the electronics engineers soldered it, cleaned the board.
My old lady works. And I'm already with a new one.
Said the master tank on it is practically eternal, as long as the module works, as long as it will live. I'll give my stepson to an apartment.

If the defect is in balancing, then any machines jump. It is not necessary, according to one sad experience, to omit all the other cars of this brand. For example, our LG F1496AD3 does not jump, everyone is happy.

And so we bought a washer and dryer for work. I run this miracle of technology. Maybe someone will come in handy. The cycle of washing cotton 60 degrees 2 hours 56 minutes, drying is switched on by hand after washing 3 hours 50 minutes. There is a program of washing and drying in 59 minutes, but as I understand this is an express wash in cold water in 15 minutes. Lingerie is really dry, but wrinkled !!!! like a cow chewed - an option to put the linen in the closet and not ironing will not work. And the smell is specific, like after a dry heat, doctors will understand, it does not irritate me, it can be unpleasant for someone. In general, I liked how it washes white coats, I liked drying, I will test it further. Forgot to say marc kandy

[Ketsal]

KetsalWhich firm? I have had a machine with a dryer for a long time, about 5 years. There will be no problems, look again the instructions. There should be drying options. I have three of them. From "very dry" to "ironing". No problem.

[dog gray]

dog gray, kandy. There are only three drying programs in it: drying cotton, drying synthetics and quick wash and dry. The smell of hot cotton does not bother

[Ketsal]

KetsalWhat, not a word about the degree of drying? Then I would dry cotton on synthetic mode. In short, choose the shortest (is there a display?) Cycle. Start testing with it. I was also confused at first. Now I start it with my eyes closed.

[dog gray]

dog gray, nope, and there are no instructions, the interface is very clear analog knob and 5 buttons: start-pause, temperature, spin speed, extra rinse, soak. I liked the principle of the aggregate, it does not smell like rubber when drying

[And only dry separately]

One last tip. You can also wash cotton with synthetics. And only dry separately... You can find instructions on the Internet. No problem.

[dog gray]

dog gray, I have a cotton uniform at work and a cotton bedding, and a personal waffle bath towel - my mother bought me at birth, I will dry it on cotton

Olga! Try to dry cotton on "synthetics". I do not have folds, creases. I iron (he himself) only my husband's shirts. For greater aesthetics. Terry towels are especially pleasing. Any jersey. I like washing wool, mohair. You can't do that with your hands!

[dog gray]

dog gray, thank you, what kind of unit do you have?
