LG Direct Drive Washer

Today, market competition reaches incredible limits. And each manufacturer tries to make his technique much more functional than that of opponents. And Korean Grand LG was the first to equip a washing model direct drive (PP). And according to advertising claims, this technique erases much more efficiently and does it very quietly. And how things are in practice, you need to understand.

Strengths

1. Formed low noise at work. For example, a classic drive has a belt and a pulley. These are sources of noise. The direct drive does not have them.
2. Excellent balance. When washing, there are almost no vibrations. To ensure silent operation of the machine, you do not need to purchase a special rug or some kind of stand for this.
3. Serious operational life. Less shaking of parts occurs and the engine wears out more slowly.
4. The best washing of linen by analogy with standard models: the dynamics of rotation of the drum above. His movements are more accurate.
5. More economical use of electricity when washing.
6. The width of the laundry tub is much larger when compared with a model with a standard drive.

Weaknesses

1. Solid cost. Although there are many classic modifications with similar price tags. There are versions and cheaper. The cost of LG models with software is at least twice the price of these modifications.
2. Very expensive repairs if the electronics break. Although breakdowns are quite rare.

The main difficulties of models with software

LG washing machines with software most often have these breakdowns:

1. Pump. Drainage stops or is very poor. Often users themselves are to blame for the breakdowns. After all, before washing from clothes you need to get small things. They only clog pumps and drains during the washing process. These details can be cleaned by your own efforts or entrusted to an expert with this matter. He will simply replace the pump.
2. TENA. This part is responsible for temperature readings in the machine. It can break down due to poor quality water and special anti-scale preparations. Also the culprits can be voltage drops.
3. Electronics. These are extremely rare cases. But repairing it is very difficult and expensive. Failure is defined as follows: the device does not start, gives errors in different modes, does not switch stages during the washing process. Prevention is as follows: the installation of the machine must be competent, it is better to entrust this to a specialist. The use of stabilizers will also help. They protect the system from power surges. And just use the machine more carefully.
4. Bearings. They have almost no gaps. And a serious load falls on them. Calculating their breakdown is simple: the LG direct-drive washing machine starts to work very noisily, there is no drum rotation, washing does not occur at all, and the error is displayed on the display. Replace these parts.
5. Engine. His position is very close to the drum. And in the event of a leak, he will get it first.

Any washing machine models fail. To prevent damage, you must:

1. Entrust the connection of equipment to a specialist.
2. Connect the machine to a separate outlet, which automatically turns off during voltage metamorphoses.
3. Mount the machine on a straight surface. Lay a slip mat under it.
4. Set special water softener filter.
5. Periodically remove scale using quality products.
6. Check pockets before putting clothes in the drum. Eliminate small debris and other small things from them.
7. Every 15 washing operations, clean the drum - a special mode starts.

Criteria for choosing a model from LG with PP:

1. Type of loading.
2. How capacious is the drum.
3. Category of electricity consumption (recommended - A).
4. The number of washing modes.
5. The dynamics of the spin.
6. Are there any additional options, for example, protection against leaks.
7. Is it possible to set a delay for starting a wash?
8. Is it possible to soak the laundry?
9. What is the noise level?
