It is to prevent the user kenak steam/heat dmg when u open the door as the inner full of hot air.
Imagine if u open the door straight after the drying process and ur eyes kenak those steam

That's why it said "HOT"

I kind of notice it does sometimes happen even after the whole process is done. Then have to wait for like 1 hour before I can take out my clothes.

The problem is that sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. Kind of unpredictable sometimes.

First rule when washing clothes, separate dark/grey/black coloured ones from white/light coloured. Jeans/denim material jackets wash separately also.

Undergarments and socks put in laundry bag so they don't get tangled and stretched together with other clothes. This way their elasticity will last longer. Anyway yeah good luck whiten back your white shirt.

You're mixing wash with other color cloth. Especially the new cloth.

Wash new cloth separately few time before mix together. Once the color dye stabilize, it won't effect others cloth.

I m using LG combo. If your house has 2-3person, a combo is fine. More than that, a separate unit will do the job faster.

Combo requires cleaning maintenance to clean the internal cloth lint and sensor. Once this sensor and air intake clog, the drying time is longer and won't dry enough. DIY maintenance is not difficult.

I would prefer LG as the spare part is cheap to replace. My unit has been breakdown 3x and currently waiting for parts for the motor side. Parts replace is reasonable and cheap.

Thanks but where is the sensor/fan/vent/lint filter again? All I can see from the manual regular maintenance portion is the debris filter which I do clean:

Thanks for your insight. LG's AI DD seems pretty nice to have.

It's never mentioned in the guide coz u need to open the machine.

1. Open 2 screws at the back for the top cover. Push the top cover back and lift it to open.
2. Unscrew all the screws surrounding the blower unit. There are couple of slightly longer screw, so u need to make sure u know where it should go back later.
3. Open the top cover for the blower and inside u'll see the filter. Usually after 4-6 months it'll be covered with lint.

Kinda hard to explain here. When I'm free later I can make a video.

If u notice your clothes are still not conpleteley dry after u use the cupboard dry mode, then you'll need to service this filter.

Anyway yours is a newer model. Bought mine two years ago.

Manual don’t have DIY cleaning. Cause it doesn’t encourage consumer to service.

Got to open the back and top cover. Than the dryer side cover. The pic show the dryer side cover already open.

I circle out is the sensor. The round plastic intake inside have another sensor. (Arrow) All the sensor will clog with lint. Need to clean up.

Prepare a long brush to scrub inside the round plastic intake. (Arrow) Can pour the water in to flush away the lint. But not the heater side.

There is a fan motor on the cover need to clean up too.

Hi guys. Plan to get 1 soon but clueless on what to get brandwise & reliability. Any suggestion?

My 10 year 8.5kg Hitachi is still working but the damper has gone very bad and it vibrates too much during spin. I took the opportunity during Lazada sale last week, ending up buying 15kg LG-F2515STGW. Anyone uses this model? Mind to share your feedbacks? Many thanks

We're considering this Samsung actually, any comments, thoughts?

It's too early to tell...but so far, so good.

Was considering this or the LG, but the LG had one quirk, the LG lid just slammed shut whereas the Samsung didnt, surprised they overlooked something this simple.

WA-23A8377GV/FQ has a soft closing door

Yup I did notice that, Thanks.

Thank you. Wonder if it is possible to get Samsung to do this? Or ask any other repairman or something?

You can launch a complain in the website/email/service.

Just write like “the drying is long hr or not drying completely “

But you might get con to change some sensor or parts.

wow... good tips.
