LG WM0642HW Washer 4.0 cu. ft.

Best washing Machine

In July 2008, my father had gifted a LG washing machine to my mom as her birthday gift.

My mom suffers from arthritis due to this she was unable to wash our cloths.

As we told her that not to wash our cloths but she refused all our arguments.

When my father gifted the washing machine to her she became emotional and hugged my father.
And now we are using this washing machine, its performance is best.

As we are using other products of LG as dishwasher, cell phones, plasma T.V., TFT monitors and many more. And the washing machine is our latest product of LG we bought.

It's a front load washing machine with 7 washing programs. Rust free stainless steel drum about 3.32 cubic feet IEC, 1200 RPM powerful spin for efficient water extraction, 6 temperature levels, roller jets and forced water circulation, it delays the washing by 12 hours. Any many more high quality features.

Its doors are chrome rimmed with clear glasses. Its design and style is so adorable. In market only one color i.e. white is available. Maximum loading capacity is 10 kg. Includes some special programs i.e. pre-wash, normal and quick wash, hand wash, cotton and delicate. There?s a child security. Electronic control panel with Dial-A-Cycle.

It costs us about $949.00. It consumes low electricity and water. It saves as much as, our electricity and water supply charges. I will recommend this product and off course all the products of LG as healthy and wealthy products. Healthy because it saves our energy which we loosed while working without these products.

Now, some words from my mom for LG washing machine. She said that,? this is one of the best product of LG to which I have used among other products and I will always use this washing machine and prefer this to my all relatives to buy this product to save their money and energy?. I would like to thanks LG for producing these types of products.

And in future I will buy more products of LG it may be a washing machine to which I will gift it to my wife.

Getting Higher Water Level in WM0642HW
by: Stanley M.

I've had this WM0642HW washer for 11 months now. I've have from day one been disappointed in the extremely low water level and also the deception from LG about the Forced Water Recirculation Spray Nozzle removal from this model without letting consumers know before purchasing, that what is displayed in stores will not be installed on new units delivered.No Forced Water Recirculation Spray!Your laundry will plop around in cups of water for a long time with dry spots still evident on clothing several minutes into the wash cycle.After much research, i finally figured out how to get the extra water into the cylinder to the edge of the lower door gasket.LENGHTHEN THE AIR TUBE ABOUT 2 INCHES. Every one from LG said there was no way to increase the water level. That was a lie. I just wanted 4 or 5 gallons more water in the cylinder for the wash portion but also not raise above the rubber door seal & i've accomplished that and now things are much cleaner and detergent throughly mixed and flowing over my laundry.You probably knew that adding water through the dispenser ,the machine would stop and pump everything out.So the air tube lenghening was the answer to this problem. Remember, just a few inches goes a long way, so don't over do the length.You'll have to play around alittle bit.The pump should be able to drain the cylinder during the initial 30 sec drain portion before plastering of clothing for the spin.Maybe you can get away with a cup still inside when pump does it's first pause, but it shouldn't be any more water than that.I don't wan't the motor straning unnessarily.It has worked fine ever since i did that and now i'm happy.Clean laundry first time around.4 inches in tube length made water level raise 2 inches above door seal.Too high!Also it didn't drain completely before trying to plaster.What a difference 4 gallons of water makes.

Terrible

Terrible product. Will not spin properly, cloths come out stinky and dripping wet. Total waste of money. Zero stars.

LIttle noisy but recommend
by: Cystal

I purchased the LG WM0642H washer with another LG model of dryer. The store that we purchased from had a separate deal on each, but they still looked like a set. We were prompted to go with an LG model because of their great energy efficiency ratings. This was one of our largest issues with our previous washer and dryer. They both seemed to run constantly without the results that we needed.

I was very adamant about finding a washer that was a front loader. My previous washer was a top loader, and it was always difficult to wash heavy bed linens and such. However, the LG WM0624H still has the traditional appearance of a top loader, which is what I still wanted to have. I was more interested in an efficient washer, rather than one that is modern and stylish.

The washer has an array of great washing features, many of which would be quite intimidating for those first using the appliance. There are water temperature settings, spin cycle speeds, and washing cycles to choose from. I love the fact that I can select how soiled an item is, as well as the size of an item, or the detail of how delicate the fabric is. There is also a sanitary cycle that helps sterilize bedding and clothing. It takes about an hour, but with the peace of mind, it is a great feature to have, especially with children in the house.

The washer is slightly more noisy than the similar LG dryer that we purchased. However, I have recommended the LG WM0642H to all of my friends and family who were on the market for a new washer.
