Hang the clothes and let the sun dry them la. Why waste so much money on dryer and spend extra electricity on it ? Dryers also spoil the clothes in the long run. So simple pun tak tahu?

We're using a 2-1 LG Washer Dryer Machine, model FG1612H2W

Last weekend the machine suddenly broke, starting with the touchscreen door not able to open, with weird UE etc errors appearing on it.
Then wife and me try to press here and there (without forcing it to open), reboot the machine etc.. end up later become worse with screen going blank but with sound.  ranting.gif

After sent for repair, technicians tried to replace with new LCD door, end up it exploded, found out later the wiring also spoil:

He told us to replace this part is expensive, hence helped us to repair. Total cost to repair is RM800+ (the unit we bought was RM3-4k, forgot exact price).
Also advice us not to buy 2 in 1 washing machine dryer as they spoil easily. Not durable. Better to get separate unit. Earlier we get 2 in 1 is due to living at condo and want to save space.. didn't know this nightmare happen to us.  vmad.gif

Other articles to inform you on not to buy such 2 in 1 washer dryers:

https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/...er-dryer-combo/
So it's not only LG brand, but all other brands have his problem. Buy at your own risk. The more you use washing + drying every time, be prepared for a shorter lifespan of your machine!   moneyflies.gif

Always buy a separate Washer + separate dryer.. such will last very long. End of my warning to those planning to get 2 in 1 washer dryer.

shite, sounds almost exactly like mine. sometimes it shows the screen, can select and start, after that blank screen until finish.
then tomorrow pray it will appear again haha. giving up, i rarely use dryer also, on on rainy days.

hopefully there's still good 2 in 1 like electrolux as someone suggested here, separate machine makan space.
and 2-in-1 you can just select program and all clean and dry at 1 run, no need to take out/put in, etc.

I have tried to max zoom but it seems like corrosion / epoxy at the picture. Mind to tell if it is corrode or epoxy? Meantime, the parts looks like heating element than anything relate to display for me.

Long story short. Yes TS is right. Doesn’t matter what brand or model… 2 in 1 doesn’t last… those second hand used shops will have many for sale.. they take it back repair and sell

So if you want aesthetics.. got to live with it
I think washer dryer stacked combo looks great. And make use of vertical space.

Only on high heat setting. Kills your clothes too. Sunlight has UV that disinfect. Just leave it out longer lah.
