Washer/Dryer

I went by Coast on my lunch today, hoping to score a deal on a new washer, but no go!  It was long gone, they just didn't update their website.

Some good info

^^^ Interesting video.  I generally hate that format - just a bunch of clips, and what I can assume is an AI voiceover. 

However, the information is interesting.

The washer I've picked out is indeed and LG front load washer with the direct drive motor, which is the specific combination the video says is good.  So, yay?

It's this one:  WM3470CW.

So many crappy AI youtube videos and channels, at least some have decent information though.   I'm trying to spec out a washer dryer set for the cottage build.

Heh, so the washer actually fully packed up today.  I suspect the door switch is faulty.  We were in the middle of a load, too, so I'll have to drain the machine, and take the clothes to a Laundromat to finish. 

I could probably fix the door switch, but honestly, I've been keeping these things limping along for the past twelve years, and its time.  The bearing going is what seals the deal, and its one of those stupid integrated ones, so not really repairable by me.

The new LG set gets delivered on Wednesday, two days before we leave for Calgary for a week.

I don't think the warranties are the same across the board even within the same manufacturer.

I have the Samsung with direct drive and the warranty on it is 10 years.

Both our washer and dryer have the steam function, which I wasn't sold on initially. It's extremely handy, particularly on the dryer. The "refresh" and "wrinkle remove" functions work very well. We generally only use the "sanitize" steam function on the washer for IQs scrubs.

Anyone else use steam?

Oh..I also watched a documentary of sorts by a cleaning expert who said anything longer than a 30 minute cycle is a waste of time as it doesn't get the clothes measurably cleaner.

We've also been testing out the new-ish Swash detergent with good effect. It uses a laughably small amount of detergent from a unique squeeze bottle that doses the correct amount with a single squeeze...80 loads per bottle.
