LG Signature LUWM101HWA or LUWD1CW seen in the wild yet?

[Stromberg-Carlson]

Major long time lurker. this sites parts division has helped me over the years with bellows tubes and drain pipes that have cracked over the years..

this post is out of curiousity.

Will receive the LG Signature LUWM101HWA and sidekick LUWD1CW within the next 10 days.

I have had 2 LG combo ventless machines across several years and have been extremely happy with them. i usually upgrade to the newer one every couple of years, and am excited about this duo.

I just wanted to know from any tech on board if they have seen these in the wild and have had to service them yet (they have been on worldwide backorder for a while but some have trickled down over the last few months). this latest model has an inverter heat pump vs the last model that I currently have (the WM3997HWA), and am not sure how different /better it is over the standard way of condensed drying...

thank you to any and all who would respond.

I have yet to see any ventless laundry systems in the wild. Good luck with your hunt.

HI there,

thank you for taking time to reply.

I don't have any issues with these machines (i have had both of these a week now). I was merely asking if anyone has seen any for repair--it was just a curious question.

these machines are really nice. I even use the smarthinQ app to control them, etc. 

cheers.

Thought I would do a refresh to see if any techs have had any issues with either machine out in the wild...

I've been an LG authorized servicer since late 2004.

Serviced many combo/ventless models (24 & 27 inchers).

Have seen a few "Studio Series" appliances...but don't recall having come across the "Signature" line yet.

There was a demo model (prototype)...of a heat pump dryer-only at a training seminar a few years back...but it was not mentioned that the combo model would be a candidate for this new concept.

Sounds very interesting...but i'm having difficulty trying to image how LG managed to fit/cram a heat pump into their latest combo design. A little scary.

Hi john,

thank you for responding.

ive both units and the heat pump in the combo is really nice. I have the service manual for it and it is a lot of equipment packed into that small space. I like this new model and the sidekick tub is nifty.

 

john, if you are stil around, do you know where I can purchase the service manual for the Luwd1cw ? Im fascinated with how these machines work.
