At a glance

LG F1096ND3 washing machine is a narrow, space-saving. It is 60 cm wide and 44 cm deep. The load type is front-loading. The design, appearance, arrangement of functional elements can also be called classic. White body, the chromed door “rim” looks stylishly on its background. Adjustable feet enable the unit to be positioned flat and securely.

There is a control panel on the front. It includes a dial to select the washing mode, a display and a set of function buttons. All buttons are mechanical.

Technical features

The model belongs to the advanced energy class A+. Now it is the third most economical category. The energy efficiency of this model is 170 kWh. Washing Efficiency Rating – A. The maximum spin speed is not so great – 1000 rpm. There is a chance that heavy terry cloths after spinning will be quite wet. That is why the spin efficiency category is B, the second possible. The amount of water consumed per year – 9500 liters.

Maximum load capacity 6 kg. However, this is only possible, in fact, when washing cotton laundry. Most of the modes require that the loading does not exceed 3-4 kg. This should be quite sufficient for a small family.

The maximum noise level is 53 dB for washing, 73 dB for spinning. This is a very moderate for a modern machine.

For a more efficient and gentle washing this model uses the proprietary 6 Motion technology. There are six ways of drum rotation, which are used depending on the washing mode or stage. Different types of rotation provide different types of movement of water and laundry in the drum. The manufacturers emphasize that each of these types of rotation reproduces some hand washing technique.

The considered unit, as all representatives of this line, is equipped with Inverter Direct Drive motor. It is an inverter motor with direct drive. The motor is attached directly to the drum, being on the same axis with it. Thus the system is more compact, reliable and produces less noise and vibration. The inverter motor provides high washing power with moderate energy consumption. In addition, it is characterized by high wear resistance. Therefore, for a motor of this design, the company claims a 10-year warranty.

There are also improvements to the drum design. The inner surface of the dishwasher has been given a convex relief that resembles drops of various sizes. Grips have changed – they became higher, got a special wave shape. This ensures a more gentle effect on the fabric, uniform wetting and penetration of detergent.

Functionality

For the choice of operating mode offers 13 programs and a number of additional options. By default, after switching on, the “Cotton” mode is set. Modes are provided for different types of fabrics and items. Additional washing, intensive washing, super rinse can be added to the selected program as required. It also has a “No-fold” function, which uses a special spinning mode to prevent the laundry from creasing too much. It is possible to manually adjust the water temperature and spin speed within the limits of the selected program. Drum cleaning option, child-proof lock function.

Intelligent control function. The required water level and washing time are determined based on the amount of laundry and selected temperature. This significantly reduces water and electricity consumption. This system engages automatically in the main modes, except for the programs of fast or delicate washing.

Presence of a timer allows to establish after what time the washing should be completed. You can postpone the end of the cycle for 3 to 19 hours.

The remaining time to work is shown on the display. The display also informs about the source of the malfunction. It has a two-character code, the deciphering of which can be found in the supplied instructions. In many cases the cause of the malfunction can be remedied by the user. For more advanced uses, the Smart Diagnosis option can be used to contact the call center. It is used to transmit a number of signals that make up the fault code by phone. Thus, the operator in a telephone mode can quickly diagnose a failure and give necessary recommendations.
