Good socket (approved one) use material that will not melt. Your experience reminds me of similar incident during CNY dinner. However in my case the extension was okay but we smelled burning plastic while enjoying foods. It turned out the socket on the wall which was non-approved cheap plastic melted.

Do we actually need to off the switch when not in used?

Same like other home appliances, do you switch the main power off, like your TV? Well, I never switch it off ever since I owned washing machine

Exactly, but I'm worried hence wanna ask to double confirm

for me i find these kind of appliances to be more on stuff like TV/AC/fridge kind of thing, you switched on once and dont bother with it anymore (not to mention sometimes the switch is quite inaccesible once covered) plus the additional wattage use in idle is kinda negligible in the bills

but some like my gf's parents they believe in saving every single cent from electric bill so they will switch it off when not in use, same with every other electronic appliances they have

I even disconnect the plug from the wall socket when done with laundry

Comparing between F2515stgw & FV1414S3B. FV14 have ezDispense function, does it really helpful? Observe the size Dimensions huge different as well. Which one is a choice to look for?

1) Powder is more cost effective but liquid allow spot treatment of stains (rub undiluted detergent on stain before washing). Powder need to follow instructions to put in detergent+softener box. (See reason why in (2) below)

2) Liquid can pour direct in drum. DO NOT PUT POWDER DIRECT IN DRUM because it won't have enough time to dissolve properly if don't put in the detergent box.
- For concentrated detergent, half the recommended dose on the packaging is enough if clothes are not too sweaty/dirty.
- Too much detergent / use powder direct in drum will cause clothes residue that look like lint or white stains.

3) Clean lint filter of the machine and do regular cleaning cycle. Follow LG instructions: https://www.lg.com/us/support/video-tutoria...-20150712778997

Hi all, I'm currently looking for a budget FL washer and narrowed down to below two models, am hoping to save some bucks here if possible:

1. LG FB-1209S6M 9KG - RM14XX at Lazada
2. Hitachi BD-80YFVE 8KG - RM1199 at AEON

I like the design and function of the Hitachi which also comes in a cheaper price. Wonder if there's any review or comment for Hitachi washers now?

Thank you in advance!

another trick for #2 is to soak the clothes inside the washer first and stir the powder detergent before starting the machine

Just purchased LG-FB1209S6M (9KG) as my first front load washer
RM14XX

Hope it will serve me well

Toshiba front load machine good to buy? any issue?

hi bros, any opinions on spending 580myr for a new pcb on a 10 year old 11kg samsung top loader that hadn't had any other issues, versus buying something new?

most echoed opinions so far being "it's old liao, just change to something new in case you fix this one thing then some other problem come"
but then there's also "new one cheaper because all made in china, 4-5 year age expectancy"

what do oh 🫠

My front load LG washing machine leaks a bit of water to the floor for 2 times...but no matter where I looked also dont know where the water comes from. After that no more leak...so mysterious..

From the door?

I think at the bottom but couldn't find out where. It's not from the dirty filter below also.

Maybe its your floor trap overflow? Since you said suddenly no more leaking.

Or try to run the tub clean mode and monitor again, because that mode will pump in a lot water and let it remain in the drum. That's how I discover my door seal is leaking a bit.... it doesn't leak if I use the usual washing modes

I have seen this once or twice. When you have less clothes but still put a lot of detergent, the bubbles will be more. This will cause some water overflowing at the outlet pipe on the floor.
