Looking for Answers about LG Electronics WM2650HWA?

yes, press and hold the button that has in smaller writing with *Signal on it and it will shut it off.

I LOVE the music tones! Everything should do that now! :) You can turn off by pressing the SIGNAL ON/OFF button.

I have only the washer. It did a great job on my large LL Bean "Side Sleeper" pillow. I used the Bulky/Large cycle but am sure that, especially with only one or two pillows, any cycle would work as well; making sure they can safely handle "special" settings such as "steam" or "extra hot" water.

I assume it depends on the temperature setting for your domestic hot water. Because we have no young children, I keep ours quite high so the dishwasher and clothes washer heaters have to be activated rarely if at all. It would be nice to know what the LG machines consider "hot" water.

I have my machines stacked, and have not noticed a vibration problem. Our laundry room is on the basement level, right next to our family room, so I'm glad these machines are quiet.

I just measured this washer that was recently installed and it's just under 39, so it must be 38 7/8. You can also adjust each of the four feet to make it perfectly level, ( up and down ) so I would imagine that you could spin all the feet to the closest possible position - close to the bottom cabinet if necessary.

It has an option for pre-wash which allows you to rinse and spin. As far as I know it does not have a spin only option.,

I have the DLEX2650W with mine.

For this machine you should only use High-Efficiency detergents. The detergent package will be labeled [HE]. High-Efficiency detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve better and help keep the washer interior clean.

There are many brands of HE detergents and they come in both liquid and powder; whichever you prefer. The detergent you use now may be high-efficiency - check the package. For years I've used a Sears product - Sears Ultra Plus Concentrated Powdered HE detergent.

Good Luck

Yes! There is a pause button on the machine that makes it easy to stop and add clothes.

Mine (just measured it) is five feet long.

Yes, on the front load washing machines it does change speeds during the spin cycle. This is how the machine balances the load evenly throughout the drum, then it really speeds up and pulls the water from the clothes.
I had a similar problem to yours when I first got this machine, but I learned to divide my laundry loads by weight. For example I can't wash a load of light summer clothing with one bath towel- the towel is too heavy and the load won't balance, but if I wash a load of light clothing with 2 or 3 towels, it works fine. Also, the drum on this machine is much larger than my old washer, I think I put too much in that first load.

Yes it does!

I only wash 5 pair at a time because they are very heavy when wet and can become unbalanced and to heavy for the machine to work properly.
It's normal to see no water. Maybe a few suds at the bottom of the glass door section and you are doing fine. The system is made to use less water. They will also come out dryer than you may be used to in the past.

Put that in the pre-wash compartment dispenser, You can use the pre-wash option if you would like but I use borax along with my he detergant and only use the pre-wash option if the clothes are heavily soiled because I mostly use the cold wash option. Hope this helps!!

I don't exactly know what the "Forced drain system" is, but I have this machine and have had it for 6 months and it does sometimes retain water like most front loaders. I think what it does at the end of a cycle is spin at a really high speed to force the water to the outsides of the cylinder, but then once it is in the front rubber seal at the loader door, sometimes it doesn't all go out of the drains and being a woman with long hair, if any of my hair ends up in that drain it gets caught in the rubber seal as well. It's annoying, but I just wipe out hair and debris after each load with a paper towel and when I'm not using the washer I leave the door open to make sure no mildew builds up. I hope this answers your question...

Hi,

Chech inside your unit to see if there are any metallic/plastic objects that are stuck in the tiny holes. It might be causing problems. It happened to me. On my second load of washing, I heard a scraping/grinding noise, too. I freaked out, thinking this was a brand new machine and it shouldn't be making noises. I turned off the wash, took out the wet clothes, and slid my hand over the entire inside surface of the drum. Sure enough, there was a hairpin stuck into one of the holes. I took it out and the grinding went away.

If you don't find anything, I would call LG (if your machine is still under warranty) to request a service call.

Hope this helps.

The water is drawn from a small plastic container inside a drawer in the top-left side of the the unit's front side. The container or bottle can be removed for easy filling or simply just pour a cup of water through the top of the containers opening which by the way has a built-in mesh screen for filtering.

You can completely fill it to the top with them! Just turn the spin speed to medium or medium-high.
