LG Washer/Dryer - How to Install The WashTower™ with Center Control™

[@xxxyyy6076]

Please make a video with details about the side vent kit.

[@denster1964]

When my family got our first front load well over 11 years ago, let’s just say our clothes were damaged. Now we own the 300cw top loader and that thing is the best. Thanks LG

[@ethoshrimp8190]

I can sort of relate to your story, but instead of large holes, sometimes the clothes couldn't get clean with my old Whirlpool front load washer, and sometimes not even rinse properly. Now with the LG top load I got 2 years ago, it made things better and easier for me and my family!

[@denster1964]

@@ethoshrimp8190 you see the thing is 7 years back, LG had a recall on the waveforce models and because of angry LG owners, no one is really paying attention to how well they do now. For example, the wt7305 (agitator model), old speed queen owners like it more, which is an amazing sign. They did good on the models this year

[@bking0220]

I have 31" max allowed for depth. Do you think a Washtower would fit in with dryer vented to the side?

[@AG34273]

Put the water on top and then have a internal hidden door that opens automatically so the washed clothes drop by gravity to the bottom dryer and then the dryer starts. That would be ultimate innovation to avoid time switching the clothes!!

[@robertwright6539]

I actually designed a unit like that for science class when I was in high school, mine even folded the clothes, lol

[@LincolnLog]

Or just have a wash and dry function inside one unit... thats what they do in Asia

[@chaoshastme]

They have all in one units that they sell.

[@thesouringgentleman]

⁠@@LincolnLogthat would double our laundry time in our family of 6 and two Irish Wolfhounds. But I did consider the LG 4.5 cu ft all in one unit.

[@LincolnLog]

@@thesouringgentleman yeah your big family is the kind that needs 2 washer units minimum. My sister would just take the dog beds to the laundromat though to dirty their machines rather than possibly clog the ones at home.

[@migo-migo9503]

Thank you! Just finished installing my unit. This was extremely helpful!

[@pamhondorp289]

We're stumped and need a video showing how to change over the gas dryer to propane. My husband is a licenesed plumber--we have the correct oriface--but, do we have to take the whole unit apart to do this???

[@mef1207]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Just installed it and couldn’t figure out what that noise was. Thanks to this video now I know!

[@mindymcconchie7973]

My wash tower is being delivered today. I don't know if I should put it in front of the dryer hook up or the water hook up?

[@robertwright6539]

How do you move the dryer into position after installing a rigid duct?

[@jimmyb4956]

😂 right?

[@toimaginaryfriends]

Its stupid to have stuff sold separately after spending tons of money on your product.

[@IEJ7654321]

Usually your home improvement store or appliance store will provide those materials for you

[@Bythebrooke907]

100% agree with this statement. Everything should be included.

[@franciscepillo3044]

Is it fine to have the drain hose at upward run? Is it safe from having backflow?

[@dawnvalenti7978]

how many inches from the floor is the dryer exhaust vent?

[@coreyc7407]

Was the question ever answered?

[@sweezeyl]

@@coreyc7407 41 3/4” to centre of the 4” vent hole.

[@kormidoit6709]

Purchased a NEW LG Washtower...arrived / installed Jan.17th. The gas dryer seems to only fire up when I tap the back of the dryer. Confirmed that infighter is not functioning without banging the back side of the dryer.....this is unacceptable. STILL as of today LG has not provided us with ANY service to fix, repair, replace or refund. MANY Calls, Text, Emails from us have been sent to LG....and yet here we sit with NO SUPPORT. NO DRYER. Any suggestions ??

[@jbbenavides506]

I thought it would be an easy article to install and use, but it seems that the life goes out of you in the installation

[@Jocarr15]

Great help just got done installing. On also 1.30 someone get this man help for his thumb.

[@topherdean1024]

Link to video for right side venting kit?

[@luminialbastre]

I just got a new LG washtower with gas dryer, but we have a propane line running in the house. I was told that a plumber can make the conversion, but he doesn't know where the orfice is located. There is no manual for the conversion and LG rep on the phone is just sending me videos from KZbin that have nothing to do with their own product. Has someone successfully converted the gas to propane so far? My plumber is trying to take of the panel, but is it in the front or the back? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@stevevasilikos7230]

Orfice is located in front

[@stevevasilikos7230]

The black piece in front has two screws . Unscrew them and take it out .

[@sauravpaira]

do the power cords come with the GAS washtower or have to be bought separately?

[@migo-migo9503]

I just bought an LG washtower and they came with the standard power cords already installed in the back.

[@abbaslakha]

@@migo-migo9503 did you have to open the top right hand corner to do the wiring they explain in the video?

[@migo-migo9503]

@@abbaslakha No, I didn’t. It was already all setup when it came out of the box.

[@PRICEisWRONG]

Even the Gas dryer requires a 240 power outlet?

[@anonanon7605]

In deference to Simple Inverso and his simple minded comment, I have found a way to remove the machine from the styrofoam shipping base that does not require 4 body builders and a set of suction cups for installing large windows. You will need a "real" appliance dolly with a ratchet strap. Place the dolly at the rear of the machine,(between the foam block and the machine legs) strap it securely to the dolly and tip the machine back carefully until it clears the styrofoam block that supports the tub during shipping (roughly 45 degrees).

[@karolinaplikaityte3581]

Do you have to buy the cord for the dryer separately? My dryer is not turning on.

[@robertwright6539]

Yes it, is purchased separately, need to determine if you need 3 wire or 4 wire

[@sharonboultbee7614]

Has anyone been able to find out where the dryer vent is located on these? I want to have it installed in the proper spot in my new house. So far all I am reading is the installation manual is shipped with the appliance. My builder wants the specs. Any info would be appreciated!

[@satheesnadaraja4837]

5:22 you can see duct (silver color circle) that is vent for dryer machine

[@sweezeyl]

I asked LG and they have not yet replied so I asked a retailer to measure the display model(pulling the mammoth thing out of the display enclosure). . The side vent is 41.75 “ from floor and 22” to centre measuring backward from the front of the machine. The rear vent is at the same height and offset to left from centre when facing the back of the machine, sorry but I don’t have that exact distance You will need to allow for space for water hoses in back of course.

[@zwzerwatt1203]

I don't have the gas to connect the dryer or the hot water pipe, what can I do?

[@bobbyrowe3344]

Put stationary vent ducts on the dryer. Lastly move dryer to final position. Good lord smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@gobirajmusic]

I was wondering the same thing....How is this even possible??

[@jessieanderson3931]

😂

[@Dingerboys2]

Does the unit come with the short hose in the video that connects to the splitter?

[@anonanon7605]

Wonderful, but how do you get it out of the box and off of the styrofoam base?

[@simpleinverso8628]

[@JeffJerome-xx1bg]

Do I need a 220 outlet or can I use a standard 110 (or 2x 110 outlets)

[@LGUSA]

Hi, there. We appreciate your inquiry regarding this matter. The LG Washtower requires both a 240V outlet for the dryer and a separate 120V, 60Hz grounded outlet for the washer. We hope this helps. ^Mau

[@JeffJerome-xx1bg]

@@LGUSAThanks for your answer. Is that case if the dryer is gas or only for the electric dryer version?

[@LGUSA]

Thanks for the response. The electric dryer requires a 240V power source, while the gas dryer can run on a standard 120V outlet. ^Mau

[@MrClarkkent23]

what is the default plug for the dryer? is it a 3 or 4 wire for an electric unit?

[@LGUSA]

Hello! Unfortunately we do not have customer service on KZbin. Someone on our FB or Twitter will happily answer this for you (LGUSSUPPORT). Thanks! ^Emma

[@serviceleague908]

I want the INSTALLATION manual (not Owner's Manual or User Guide) in advance of my Washtower being delivered as I have to have both plumbing and electrical done so that installation is easy. I called LG and they told me the installation manual is shipped with the appliance...but that does not help me get plumbing/electrical done in advance. With pandemic, plubmers and electicians are booking 6 to 8 weeks in advance and I would like all to be in place. They told me there is no way to send me the installation manual in advance. Does anyone out there have one they can share??

[@MrsRoyse]

In the same boat - need the info tomorrow! Google search and trying to find it!

[@judyterrasas2412]

Exactly! I am having the unit professionally installed but in a location where no exterior vent hole exists. BEFORE install, I need the precise location (the center of the vent duct) in order to drill that hole so that it will precisely line up with the vent duct on the machine during install.

Hey there. Lets work together to find a way for you to use your washer in the place you installed it without having to move it around. Have you found any extension drain hoses on your own? We would like to help you find a tailored solution that will allow you to use your washer with peace of mind.
