Washing machine lg 6.5 kg instructions. LG washing machine instructions for all models

The main advantages of LG washing machines

The LG direct drive washing machine 5 - 6 kg from the Korean manufacturer went on sale relatively recently. Due to its main feature, the service life has become several times longer.

Advantages of LG direct drive:

• The linen does not wrinkle. When washing, all the things that are inside the drum move up and down. Due to this, folds do not appear and the clothes retain their original appearance longer.
• Intelligent washing level. After you have loaded the wash, the unit independently evaluates the weight and level of contamination. At this stage, the required amount of water is collected into the drum and the wash starts. This function allows you to save electricity and water.
• There is a child lock feature. Your child will not be able to press anything when this lock is enabled.
• Low noise level. When washing, all laundry is evenly distributed in the drum so that the noise level is reduced. During operation, the LG direct drive 6 kg washing machine is virtually inaudible.
• LG's direct drive feature allows you to rotate the device's drum without using a belt or pulley.

These are the main advantages that you can also find in the instructions for the LG washing machine. In another article of ours you will learn more benefits.

Important! Due to its design features, this “washing machine” vibrates less even during the “spin” function.

We organize water supply

The second step is connecting the machine to the water supply. In this case, it makes no difference whether it is centralized or independently organized, since the scheme for setting up the water supply is almost the same.

• We take an inlet hose suitable for the existing LG model. Most often it comes included, but sometimes it is purchased separately.
• We hook the curved end to a special tube on the upper part of the rear wall of the case.
• We cut a hole in the water pipe and draw a line through the tee to the machine. You can also make a special branch with a tap.
• We connect the machine to the water supply.
• Tighten the retaining clamps firmly. Plastic nuts, on the contrary, are tightened to the maximum permissible limit and absolutely without the use of tools.

When using tees or water sockets, do not forget about sealants. Remember that even one drop appearing at the joint indicates an unreliable fixation.

Washing machine programs

The LG direct drive 6 kg washing machine has many programs and functions. That is why it is very important to know which one to choose for washing a particular laundry.

There are two ways to turn on the device:

• automatic wash in simple mode;
• manual program selection.

Simple mode includes main wash, triple rinse at a water temperature of 60 degrees. Spinning is carried out at 1000 rpm.

Important! This type of washing is most suitable for cotton items.

With manual selection, the user selects the program independently. A more complete list of programs and how to use them can be found in the instructions for the LG washing machine. And our separate review will tell you what they mean.

Device malfunctions

Below we will highlight all the problems that the LG direct drive 6 kg washing machine may have and tell you how to fix these problems.

So, let's begin:

1. Rattling and ringing can be caused by objects that were left in clothing pockets. To eliminate this shortcoming, you need to get these items. It is best, of course, to carefully check your clothes before loading them.
2. Tapping only occurs if the drum is overfilled with laundry.
3. LG direct drive 6 kg is protected from vibrations, but if you still experience it, then you have set the device incorrectly. Check the horizontal position of the unit at the building level.
4. Excessive foaming and water leaks are associated with the integrity of the hose.
5. Water can flow slowly into the drum only in two cases - if the hose is crushed or a small pressure is supplied from the water supply tap.
6. The washing machine may not work if the power cord is not plugged in.
7. The door does not open only during washing and after finishing the spin cycle for three minutes.
8. The washing time increases if there is more laundry than expected for a particular function.

Important! When studying the washing machine market, many buyers are lost in choosing which brand to choose - Samsung or LG. And this is understandable, because the two eternal competitors are constantly working on introducing new technologies. Our separate post will help you solve your dilemma.

Preparation

First of all, collect the tools , without which a quick connection is impossible:

• a set of wrenches of different sizes,
• screwdrivers,
• pliers,
• building level,
• knife,
• roulette,
• hacksaw.

You also cannot do without such auxiliary materials as:

• rubber seals,
• sealant,
• fitting (tee),
• ball valve.

Secondly, the washing machine is freed from packaging containers (cardboard, film, polystyrene foam). On the rear panel, remove the brackets that secure the water drainage hose and the network cable.

A very important point: there are shipping bolts on the back panel (they secure the drum during transportation of the household appliance). They must be unscrewed, and the holes are covered with plugs (included in the package). Otherwise, normal operation of the washing machine is impossible.

They also get rid of the wooden linings separating the tank of the machine and the walls of the body.

Caring for LG direct drive

With proper care, the LG direct drive 6 kg washing machine, like any other equipment, will serve you for a very long time.

The Korean company producing world-famous LG equipment has developed and successfully introduced to the consumer market a line of washing machines with direct drive, which eliminates belt drive in the interaction of the motor with the drum. The so-called Direct Drive in 6 kg models is highly reliable and has a much lower operating noise level. ...

Models with Smart diagnosis

This function is not available in every ElG model; only the latest models, usually from the expensive segment, are equipped with it. If you are concerned not only with the technology for quickly finding faults, but also with the parameters of washing machines, check out the characteristics of such models in our review.

LG FH-0B8WD7 – “Customers’ Choice”

This model earned the maximum score - 5 according to buyers of the Yandex.Market marketplace. The warranty on the machine is 1 year, and on the Inverter Direct Drive inverter motor – 10 years.

Stylish, functional and “smart” washing machine with the following parameters:

• Capacity: 6.5 kg.
• Spin speed: up to 1000 rpm.
• Number of programs: 9 pieces, including Baby items, Down items, Mixed fabrics, Preliminary and others.
• Types of protection: foaming, imbalance control.

• Automatic laundry weighing.

Among the disadvantages, some users indicated noise during water intake, but silent pumps have not yet been invented, so this is unlikely to be a significant drawback.

LG F-10B8ND - narrow

Narrow model for 6 kg of laundry, with a maximum spin speed of 1000 rpm. A full set of necessary modes is provided, and there is a display for comfortable operation. A high energy efficiency class and a price of approximately 20,000 rubles make it economical and affordable.

LG F-1096TD3 - full size

A machine with full dimensions and a drum for 8 kg of laundry. There are few differences from previous models; it costs slightly higher: about 23,000 rubles.

LG F-2J5NN4W – with bubble drum

Another model with mobile diagnostics, the “6 care movements” function and a direct drive inverter motor, which comes with a 10-year warranty.

• Capacity: 6 kg.

Users did not find any significant disadvantages - the development from South Korea can be considered quite successful.

Important! The presence of a mobile diagnostics function is weakly related to the price of a washing machine. Typically, the pricing policy depends on the capacity of the drum and the list of programs.

In conclusion, let’s say that Smart diagnostics in LG washing machines is a useful technology designed to save your time and improve the company’s service.

It is difficult to say unambiguously about the stability of the application, since there are negligible reviews on the Internet in the CIS countries. Let's think that this is due to the fact that high-tech LG washing machines rarely break down. And if a failure occurs, now you know how to make a diagnosis without letting go of your phone or smartphone.

So many modern technologies have been introduced into the new generation of washing machines that it is extremely difficult to surprise the user - “smart” machines weigh laundry, update software via the Internet, and are controlled from a smartphone. LG went further and was able to come up with and implement a unique Smart diagnosis option - Smart diagnostics.

What it is and how to configure the option if you find it in your SMA, you will find out further.

LG machine

An intelligent control system for the washing process provides for the display of certain symbols on the display in order to help the consumer understand the operation of the machine’s commands and, if possible, troubleshoot problems themselves. Popular error codes include DE, OE, CL, and so on. Most combinations are specified in the instruction manual.

Problem: the LG machine spins the laundry, but does not spin.

But not all configurations are provided by the manufacturer in the accompanying documents that come with the equipment. In this case, when unfamiliar letters appear on the display, the question arises of what to do with the equipment and how to reset this error.

Video Review: The washing machine has stopped running and is not draining.

Recommendations

During the first launch of LG, the following expert advice will be useful:

1. The cycle must be started by heating the water.
2. If everything went well with the first wash start, then subsequent runs can be carried out using any programs with items loaded into the drum.

3. 
   You should not try to wash all the things at once - it is better not to tamp the machine down to capacity. This will ensure not only better processing quality, but also protect the nodes from overload.

4. There is no need to rush to get rid of the washing machine packaging. It may be needed if repairs or returns are necessary due to a manufacturing defect.
5. The removed shipping bolts should be kept in case the washer needs to be transported in the future.
6. Caring for the washing machine between washes must be of high quality and mandatory, including airing the drum.
7. Periodically using the washing machine's self-cleaning function and cleaning the drain filter will help extend its life.

Main faults and their interpretation

O.E.

– means that there is no water drainage. You should open and look at the small item filter, which is located at the bottom of the machine under the front removable panel. Coins, paper clips, etc. can get there and block the impeller on the pump. If the filter is clean, the problem lies in the drain pump itself.

T.E.

– indicates that the water level in the machine is too high. For some reason, the pressure switch, which should shut off the water supply after reaching the required amount in the drum, did not work. There may be a short circuit.

DE

– indicates that the door lock did not work. First of all, you need to check whether the hatch door is properly closed. Incorrect placement of laundry into the drum, for example when clothes get caught on the compactor, can interfere with the lid's tight fit.

C.E.

– occurs when the engine is overloaded. Most likely, the weight of the loaded laundry was calculated incorrectly. It should be remembered that the volume of dry items should occupy two-thirds of the volume of the drum. When wet, the weight of dry laundry increases, and as a result, if the machine is overloaded, the engine cannot cope with its task.

Samsung Galaxy S9 will have a dual main camera. Experts suggest that the new Samsung Galaxy S9 device will have a double main camera. Also, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will receive this functionality, all experts are almost sure of this.

C.L.

– indicates that the child lock is activated. The function, which does not allow children to change programs during a cycle, or to start the washing machine without parents, is activated by pressing special buttons on the panel. Disable the lock by holding two buttons simultaneously for several seconds.

HE

– indicates that the water does not heat up during washing. The heating element is responsible for the temperature increase during the cycle. If this error appears on the display, the heater is faulty and requires replacement.

UE

– signals an imbalance of laundry, which has become a lump and is not distributed along the walls of the drum. The UE error is accompanied by an endless spin at low speeds, that is, the laundry spins, but does not spin. You can correct the situation in this way: press pause, remove the laundry, shake it and place it in a semicircle in the machine. After this, close the lid tightly and start the washing process again.

I.E.

- indicates that water is not flowing into the washing machine. In this case, the water supply tap may be closed, or the mesh on the inlet hose may be clogged. If after checking the communications the problem has not been resolved, then the water supply valve or electronic sensor may be damaged.

LG F1048ND washing machine and direct inverter drive technology - LG Inverter Direct Drive

Modern Samsung washing machines of the latest generation are equipped with an inverter direct drive LG Inverter Direct Drive. This drum rotation technology ensures its rotation according to 6 different algorithms - washing modes. When choosing a certain mode, the machine uses one or another algorithm or a combination of them. Washing modes can be the following: “Cotton”, “Cotton Eco”, “Everyday wash”, “Mixed fabrics”, “Baby clothes”, “Silent wash”, “Health care”, “Blanket”, “Dark fabrics”, "Sportswear", "Delicate", "Wool", "Fast 30" and "Intense 60".

Photo of the LG F1048ND washing machine.

This direct drive system is characterized by the absence of a belt drive and pulley, which ensures a high level of reliability of the washing machine, long-term operation without breakdowns and durability. Since the motor is mounted directly along the axis of the drum, the machine creates less vibration and noise. The low noise level is also influenced by the absence of electric motor contact brushes, which make a lot of noise due to friction.

Machines of this type have a new drum cleaning mode, which automatically removes all insoluble particles deposited at the bottom of the tank, on the drum or heating elements. At the same time, unpleasant odors disappear and the appearance of sediment and plaque on the moving elements of mechanisms is reduced.?

Reviews of the LG F1048ND washing machine

— It’s an excellent machine, I’ve been using it for 2 years now, it washes well, is quiet and doesn’t skip.

- Hello! Our washing machine stopped heating the water, what is the reason? and she's also jumping all over the bathroom.

Solution 1:

If the machine really does not heat the water, and you need to make sure of this, because... Some modes operate on water at 30 degrees, then you need to check the water drainage. Perhaps the machine constantly fills and drains during washing, so the water does not have time to heat up. The reason for such a breakdown may be depressurization of the drain hose; it may have a small hole. Due to the reduced pressure, the automatic water drainage system works earlier and constantly collects and drains water.

Solution 2:

Regarding the fact that the machine “jumps”, it must be leveled. The floor in the bathroom should be poured perfectly horizontally. And second, the legs of the machine are height adjustable. It is necessary to tighten them so that none of them hangs in the air. Otherwise, the car will sway a couple of millimeters and this will cause strong vibration and noise. It is enough to remove this one or two millimeters, check that the machine does not rock, and the effect will be noticeable immediately: less noise and vibration.

— I bought it and was disappointed. After installation - LE error. Constantly. I bought a stabilizer - it didn’t help / I opened the back wall - the connector just came off. Now it works like clockwork, all modes provide excellent washing quality. Quiet, economical. Requires precise installation - otherwise it jumps around the house like crazy.

— A good huge door (which makes loading and unloading easier), a screen with buttons, a lot of functions, everything works fine - it washes very quietly, quickly, economically, cleanly.

— Many functions, weighs the laundry, shows the time until the end of the wash, is quiet, all stages of the wash are visible, after the end of the wash a melody is played, this is very convenient, delayed start of the wash.

— There is “child protection”, I don’t like that there is no delicate wash, although there is a “wool” mode. It is very convenient that the machine can weigh the laundry and set the washing time, a large drum, it is very convenient to load the laundry and there is a function for cleaning it; not noisy; there is a “no folds” function; you can do additional rinses, and in the “super rinse” function the laundry is rinsed in warm water; She herself chooses how to spin the drum (6 types) in a certain mode. She spins the laundry, i.e. if the duvet cover is washed, then more than half of the items, especially small ones, will end up in it after washing.

The loading hatch swings open well and opens to the left, its diameter is 310 mm.

The drum has a “bubble” structure, which has a more active effect on the laundry during the washing process; this is LG’s proprietary technology. A drum with this shape does not damage the fabric, and according to some studies, is more effective than its competitor, Samsung's Diamond technology. After two years of use, when choosing the correct washing modes, no stretch marks were found on the laundry.

Review of the LG F1096ND model. Direct Drive Technology.

The LG F1096ND washing machine has 13 washing programs for different occasions. There is a very convenient “Quick wash 30 minutes” mode, which allows you to quickly and efficiently wash things in just half an hour. There is an important “Down blankets and pillows” mode, which is rarely found on other washing machine models. The unique Direct Drive washing technology is marked with a Woolmark quality certificate. If you want to add an additional wash when washing, then there is such an opportunity, and you can also turn on the “Crease-free Wash Mode” option.

Photo of the LG F1096ND washing machine.

The main advantage, which was noted above, is the presence of a direct-drive brushless motor in the washing machine drum. Unlike belt drives for rotating the drum, in a brushless one there are practically no rubbing parts subject to wear or friction. Consequently, this ensures long service life, reliable operation, efficiency and low noise levels. By the way, LG provides a 10-year warranty on its motors.

Using a direct drive motor design, the LG washing machine was able to implement the so-called “6 Care Moves” mode. Each drum movement may vary depending on the type of wash. In this regard, it became possible to realize the possibility of washing delicate fabrics and woolen items. When washing such things, the drum begins to sway from side to side - this creates the effect of “gentle hand washing”. The “No folds” mode works on the same effect, this is to eliminate creases and wrinkles on clean laundry.

The LG service center has developed a special diagnostic system for the washing machine. In case of malfunction or breakdown of the device, you can call the support center from your mobile phone and follow the operator’s instructions. This allows you to identify and eliminate the breakdown problem in a short time.

How to connect?

Let's look at the steps to connect an LG washing machine:

To electricity

Safe operation of the LG washing machine is only possible if the following conditions are met:

1. 
   The arrow is powered from the distribution panel via a separately laid cable.

2. For the washing machine, only a three-wire socket is used, which has a carefully insulated grounding wire (it must be connected to the grounding bus of the distribution panel).
3. An RCD (residual current device) is additionally installed on the power supply line of the washing machine. This machine will operate in the event of a short circuit or other faults with the wiring of a household appliance, which will prevent the development of a fire, and in some situations can save a person’s life.
4. To power the washing machine, only a three-core cable with a cross-section of no more than 1.5 cm² is used.
5. Only sockets with a moisture-proof cover and a ceramic base are suitable for the washing machine.
6. The safest distance between the washing machine and the outlet is 70 cm.

It is strictly forbidden to permanently connect a household appliance to the power supply network through extension cords, tees and adapters. Additional connections increase the temperature in the contacts, which can lead to damage to the washing machine and even a fire.

It is prohibited to ground the washing machine to heating radiators, gas or water pipes. This is deadly!

To the water supply

The LG washing machine is connected to a centralized water supply system using a special hose, one end of which is straight, designed to connect to a water pipe, and the other with an L-shaped turn for connection to the washing machine.

If the length of the hose included with the household appliances is not suitable, it can be replaced with a longer hose with similar fasteners (sold at any plumbing store).

There are several ways to connect the inlet hose to the water supply system:

Tapping with a crimp sleeve

Most often, a crimp coupling is used if it is necessary to connect the washing machine to a metal water supply pipe at home.

Algorithm of actions:

• 
  we fix the coupling - this part consists of two halves, which are used to compress the water supply pipe in a predetermined place, after which they are tightened with bolts to ensure the strength of the connection;

• a hole in the pipe is drilled through a special threaded hole in one of the coupling halves, and then a ball valve is screwed into it;
• connect the washing machine inlet hose to the tap.

To avoid leaks, all connections must be additionally coated with a special sealant.

Using fitting

If the water supply pipes in the house are made of metal-plastic, a fitting is used to connect the inlet hose of the washing machine to them.

Algorithm of actions:

• in a predetermined section of the water pipe, a piece of plastic is cut out, in place of which a fitting (tee) is inserted;
• connect a ball valve to the fitting, onto which the end of the inlet hose of the washing machine is fixed.

To avoid leaks, all joints are sealed with rubber cuffs.

Regardless of the connection method, it is very important that the pressure in the central water supply pipes at home does not fall below 1 Atm. Only under such conditions can the uninterrupted operation of the washing machine be ensured.

To the sewer

There are several ways to connect a washing machine to the sewer.

Through siphon

In order to connect the washing machine to the sewer system, it is necessary that the siphon be equipped with a special connection for the drain hose. It's simple: insert the end of the corrugated pipe from the washing machine into the drain pipe in the siphon and tighten it with a clamp.

Through a tee

A special tee (plastic pipe with a branch) will help you connect the washing machine drain directly to the sewer pipe.

The end of the corrugated pipe from the washing machine is inserted into the drain hole on the tee .

The tightness of the connection is ensured by a special rubber ring, pre-fixed at the end of the drain tube from the washing machine.

To prevent foreign odors and waste from the sewer from getting into the washing machine, the corrugated pipe is connected so that its end is located at a distance of at least 50 cm from the floor.

Drain in bathtub, sink, toilet

This method of draining waste liquid from the washing machine cannot be called connecting. This is because the end of the corrugated drain pipe is simply thrown over the edge of the sink, bathtub or toilet closest to the washing machine.

To prevent the hose from slipping while draining the water, it is secured with special latches. This method of organizing the drainage of waste liquid from an LG washing machine is simple and straightforward, but you should not use it permanently.

This is because you will have to wash the bathtub or sink after each drain of water; with strong pressure, the hose may come off and then the dirty slurry will have to be removed from the floor and walls.

To a phone with WI-FI

Technology does not stand still, and the dream of operating a washing machine without leaving the couch has become a reality. Modern models of LG washing machines are equipped with the AI ​​DD artificial intelligence function, which allows you to control household appliances remotely from a smartphone.

It works simply:

1. Download the SmartThinQ application from the Play Market to your smartphone.
2. We register an account or log into a personal account in this application if registration was completed earlier.
3. We check whether the smartphone is connected to the network of the router in the area of ​​which the washing machine is located.
4. Launch the application on your smartphone.
5. In the “Found a new device” window, select the “Add” option.
6. Add the washing machine to the application and wait for the connection to end. As soon as the name of the washing machine is displayed in the application on your smartphone, you can begin the process of starting the wash.

In a situation where the “Found a new device” option does not appear, you need to click “+” and select your model from the proposed list. If the desired model is not in the list, then you need to select the “Device Type” option, then the “Specific Device Model” option, and then enter the name of the washing machine manually.

The video will show you how to connect and control your washing machine via an app on your phone:

LG Direct Drive Washing Machine Installation Instructions

For safe and economical use of the LG Direct Drive washing machine, the instructions require adherence to the following rules for installing the device:

The instruction manual recommends placing the LG Direct Drive machine on a flat floor; the permissible tilt angle is 1 degree. If the slope is greater, it is prohibited to level the machine by placing pieces of paper, wood, or other objects under it.

The machine must have a separate outlet; the manufacturer prohibits plugging the device into the same outlet with other devices to avoid overloading the line.

The machine should not be placed close to the wall. It is necessary to leave a gap of 10 cm behind its back wall, and 2 cm on the sides.

The device must not touch furniture or other objects.

It is better not to place the washing machine near fire sources. But if this is unavoidable, it is necessary to place a heat-insulating damper between it, turning it towards the stove with the side on which the aluminum foil is located.

Waterhome Advice: If there are insects in the house, be especially careful about keeping your machine clean. Failures caused by cockroaches or other organisms are not included in the list of failures that are corrected under warranty.

If the machine is installed on a wooden floor, be sure to use special rubber pads under its legs to avoid vibration. The thickness of the rubber should be at least 1.5 centimeters. Attach the pads to the floor with screws so that they rest on at least two boards.

The pads will also help prevent the machine from rocking.

The appliance can only be used in ordinary houses with stable floors. The instructions for the LG Direct Drive washing machine prohibit its installation on mobile and floating vehicles - ships, trailers, yachts, airplanes, carriages, etc.

When installed correctly, the machine should be level and stable, not jumping or swaying. Then it will serve its owners for many years without problems or breakdowns.

If you bought the device in the cold season, the instructions for the Direct Drive washing machine recommend keeping it at room temperature for several hours before turning it on. It should warm up.

After each use, the machine must be unplugged from the outlet.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the smart diagnostics option include:

• convenience – the user can check failures without leaving home within a few minutes;
• economic benefit - no need to call a specialist and pay for diagnostics;
• in case of serious breakdowns, the master’s task is made easier - he knows in advance what spare parts to buy and what tools to take with him;
• the user saves time - the “calling the wizard” stage is reduced.

Along with the advantages, there are a couple of disadvantages of smart diagnostics. Perhaps the main drawback is that there is no guarantee of high accuracy. It can also be noted that such a diagnostic system is a modern development and is present in the latest and low-budget LG models. The second point is considered a relative disadvantage.
