My LG Wave Force Washer Problem
Comments (19)I received my replacement LG Wave Force washer(WT5101HW this morning. I have noticed some differences in the way my new washer performs. First, the spin speed selector works. If I select low spin speed, its spins slow. Much slower than my other washer. Second, the final spin cycle on Cotton/Normal cycle and Heavy Duty cycle is 19 minutes long. My other washer had a 12 minute final spin cycle. My clothes seem much drier coming from this washer. Third, the spray rinse is 23 seconds shorter than my other washer. Fourth, this washer is much quieter than my old washer. I am loving my washer again. I am so glad LG approved the replacement of my washer....See MoreLG Waveforce TL
Comments (7)Hi mainer_at_heart, I don't own that machine but I do recall another poster answering that question before. Here is what he said and a link to that discussion: "The cascading water over the clothes during the Wash/Spin is the wave force action. It happens on load 8lb or more. It depends on the load size and amount of water in the machine. It seems to work mainly on the Normal/cotton cycle and heavy duty."

Comments (42)Yes it shredded the clothes, and yes we had a tech from sears look at it 3 seperate times. No sharp edges in the drum and we confirmed that with cheese cloth, no snags anywhere. Sears finally stated that the washer was working as designed and the next service call for this problem would be on our dime. LG was of little help. I finally couldn't deal with this anymore and got rid of it. The problem is the clothes get twisted, and I mean twisted so tight that the clothes were getting ripped. It would take us a good ten minutes to get the clothes untied so that we could put them in the washer. According to LG washing pants is a problem in this machine as the legs can easily get knotted, LG's solution, don't wash pants in it!!! We finally had to cut our losses on this, it was costing us a fortune to replace clothes that had been destroyed....See MoreLG WaveForce WT5101 Temperature Issue
Comments (10)Markb...sad part is all new He washers are so dumbed down in temperatures its not funny. I know Mieles do what they say from what I have read on here. The new kenmore washer made by Electolux sounds impressive too. I am used to washing in warm and hot water, true warm and hot for that matter, as my old He3t did just that. I can honestly say, that my LG does clean as good in its temps as the Kenmore did. For me its a mental thing, if I want warm or hot water, thats what I want, no discussion about it. If I knew I could sell off my LG set, Id go after a Lux set. I like Miele, but too many people complain about the viberation and noise in the spin cycle. I for one, spin EVERYTHING at top speed, never had a problem with wrinkles or anything else. A good shake and toss it in the dryer and all is good. Larsi bragged about his Lux set on here, sad it cleaned better than his Miele, quieter, less viberation. All I can think of is his friends came over and said you didnt buy a meile?? So he went out and bought one. Yes Im sure the lux is not a tank built as a miele, but he sure did like it and shared it with everyone on here as I do with with my LG. Its whatever a person wants, for whatever reason I say and I mean no pun against Larsi at all...See Moremarkb
