WashCombo All-in-One FAQs
How do I clean the Compressor?
Ventless Laundry using LG's Inverter HeatPump™ Technology has an Auto Cleaning Condenser. If you ensure you keep the ezLint Filter™ clean, then this Auto Cleaning Condenser technology should mean no cleaning hassles and more consistent drying over time.
How much space do you need to accommodate the WashCombo™ All-in-One?
Dimensions are W 27" x H 39" x D 33 1/8" and we recommend 1" on the sides, around 4" on the back for water/power connections, and 12 1/4" on the top to easily get the ezLint Filter™ out. Be sure you have space in front to open the door, too!
Is there a way to keep track of number of cycles to ensure the filters are cleaned properly?
Yes! The ThinQ® app will show number of cycles ran as well as sending notifications when it's time to clean the inner filter.
Where does the heat blow?
The WashCombo™ All-in-One uses a ventless drying system, this means heat is recirculated inside the unit and the moisture and hot air leave through the drain.
Is there an option to dry only?
Yes, there is are several DRY ONLY cycles. Check out the Cycle Guide.
How loud isthe WashCombo™ All-in-One?
The WashCombo™ All-in-One is quite quiet at just over 50dB in our tests at the loudest point in the cycle (whisper quiet most of the time!).
Can the WashCombo™ All-in-One be connected to a sink faucet?
Since WashCombo™ is not designed to be connected to a tap out of the box and requires a dedicated water supply and drainage system for proper operation, you will need to get parts from your local home supply to add a "Y" your sink.
Can you set up two side-by-side and run them at the same time?
The WashCombo™ can be paired with an LG SideKick™ offering 1 additional cubic foot of washing capacity, this is your best solution. But, if you want two WashCombos: check with local municipality to see if you are allowed to run two washing units on the same circuit and ensure your circuit can handle at least 13A
Is the WashCombo™ All-in-One gas or electric?
It runs on a standard 120V electric outlet.
Can I use the combo if I only have cold water?
Yes! Just keep in mind that cycles may take a little longer if you don't have a hot water feed.

WashCombo Glossary
6Motion™ Technology
6Motion™ Technology is a feature available in LG washers nd dryers that provides a unique combination of different wash and dry motions to ensure a thorough and gentle cleaning of your clothes. Here's how it works:
1. Tumbling: The drum rotates back and forth, simulating the motion of handwashing. This helps to remove tough stains and dirt from your clothes.
2. Rolling: The drum rolls in one direction, creating a gentle rolling motion. This is ideal for delicate fabrics and helps to prevent tangling and wrinkling.
3. Scrubbing: The drum moves in a scrubbing motion, similar to handwashing. This helps to remove stubborn stains and dirt from your clothes.
4. Swing: The drum swings from side to side, creating a pendulum-like motion. This helps to thoroughly rinse your clothes and remove any remaining detergent.
5. Filtration: The drum rotates at a high speed, creating a powerful filtration effect. This helps to remove dirt and debris from your clothes, ensuring a cleaner wash.
6. Stepping: The drum moves up and down, creating a stepping motion. This helps to lift and agitate your clothes, ensuring a thorough and even wash.
By combining these different wash and drying motions, 6Motion™ Technology provides a customized and effective wash for different types of fabrics and stains. It ensures that your clothes are cleaned thoroughly while being treated gently, resulting in cleaner and fresher laundry.
Auto Cleaning Condenser
The Auto Cleaning Condenser is a feature available WashCombo All-In-One. It is designed to automatically clean the condenser, which is responsible for removing moisture from the air during the drying process. Here's how it works:

2. During each drying cycle, the dryer will automatically detect if the condenser needs cleaning based on the amount of lint accumulated.
3. If the condenser needs cleaning, the dryer will initiate the cleaning process by using hot water to flush out the lint and debris.
4. The water used for cleaning is collected in a reservoir located at the bottom of the dryer. You will need to empty this reservoir after each cleaning cycle.

LCD Digital Dial
