hi, do you have an option to switch off the heater? i m eyeing on its bigger siblings but worry the power pulling by the heater

edit: i just read the manual, apparently the heating is only for Whitening Wash & Allergy Care Wash? is it correct?

hv u get yours? this unit is in my radar too

yup, using 11kg now, feel not enough power for comforter washing
most likely i will get toshiba since i need a 16kg with direct-drive + inverter - heater, further more it comes with 3yr control panel + 13yr mtr wty

ya, direct drive that's y quieter, how much u bought? do u go for wty extension?

i think i will skip lg as the heater feature is for all courses and my main concern is power consumption ... anyhow compare to others lg has the most elegant/classy look & sturdier built

if that is the case then i would switch to lg btw, how do u know the heater is off apart frm that 2 courses? got indicator for heater? to me, heater for top loader wm is a big no no, couldn't imagine how much energy is needed to heat-up hundred liter of water

ya, it did mention heat-up to 40/60C for that 2 courses, other no mention got heating or not, will chk it out, thks!

hah ok, did u extend its warranty? the extension is only for control panel but not mtr eh?

extension frm dealer? i think shud be frm lg itself. last time my lg led screwed with wrong firmware, they appointed local technician came to fix it ler

had confirmed with lg, the heater feature only applicable for certain courses, so worry no

Dear valued Mr. xxx,

Refer to your inquiry, the machine is can using cold water only by selected non warm/hot water course. I attached the user manual selected pages for your reference. Meanwhile the heater inside the machine is having maximum power usage 1600w. But the power consumption is depend on the course of selection and environment water temperature. I wish to thank for your inquiry.

Thanks
LG Service
