What People Are Saying

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Laundry Processing Unit This is the second one I have owned. Yes, I bought it a second time. The first one got left behind in a real estate transaction. Do not think of this as a Washer & Dryer. It is a "Laundry Processing Unit." This new one works better than the older model and gets things dryer. Once this unit teaches you how it want you to do laundry, you will be thrilled with it. Keep an open mind. You do not have to switch wet laundry to the dryer. You can leave and set it on delay to be finishing up when you return. When it finishes, pull clothing out one article at a time, give it three shakes and it is very dry. I would recommend this product with the caveat that you keep an open mind as it does not work like a conventional side-by-side set.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Michine We love it. We needed a new washer / dryer that took up less space and this is the one. I read about this type of machine many years ago being used in Europe, so I knew something about them. My wife just found out about them one night when she was looking at washers on the internet. I checked it out and was sold. Love all the functions that this washer / dryer has, so many settings. Washer does a great job, but the dry times take a little getting used to. We're learning. Over all we love it. A lot more quite then our old washer and it uses a lot less water.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great big capacity machine for a small space I bought this machine after months of agonizing over the reviews. I am thrilled with my results. I have washed a set of queen sheets with additional light weight shirts and everything was dry. I have actually switched the dryer selection to damp dry. I read in a review to simply shake in article of clothing that seems damp (something about surface moisture) and the item will suddenly be dry. Well it really does work! I read to not fully load the washer for best drying results but in my household of 2, I am able to wash sheets, towels and all items of clothing for a week in only 5 loads while still separating by weight and color.

bought a combo washer dryer wm3997hwa whats the deal with the lint?

Asked by: kevini
The Washer/Dryer Combo units do not have a lint trap as the lint flushes out through the drain line since it uses a condensing system and not a heating element. It is recommended that you sort laundry into similar loads that are washable in the same cycle. Refer to the chart on page 19 in the manual for sorting clothes. ^AC

I have heard through some of the reviews that users have been advised to make the drain level at almost ground level to aid with drying performance.  I read nothing about this in the manual. What do you think

Asked by: Djaytch99
Hello, we can only advise the unit be installed per the manual to ensure proper performance. Total height of the drain hose end should not exceed 96 inches (244.8 cm) from the bottom of the washer. The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations. Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked. ^AC

How do I get wrinkles out of my clothes? I don't see any type of anti wrinkle cycle and everything I take out is wrinkled beyond a regular iron.

Asked by: Zaf8
I have found that if I use the damp dry setting and remove my clothes as soon as the drying cycle finishes that my clothes are dry enough and not wrinkled much.

Where is this combo washer/dryer manufactured?

Asked by: DrKate
Hi DrKate. Regrettably, the only way to identify where the LG Front Load Washer / Dryer Combo, Model # WM3997HWA is manufactured will be to look at the carton that it is shipped in or to look at the nameplate that is attached to the unit. LG is an international company with worldwide factories. Parts for the washer may come from different factories in different countries and the washer be assembled in a different country. The nameplate will have the date of manufacture, country of manufacture/country of assembly stamped on it...^IFV
