LG Tromm Washer WM2077CW Service Manual
I have LG Tromm WM2077CW and I am looking for the schematics. It has barely
been used, but is out of warranty. Here is the problem it has had since day 1. If you run a load of laundry it takes almost 2 hours to finish. It tries and tries to balance the load until it gets it right. Well I don't care if it is balanced or not when it is in the spin cycle. I just want it to finsih fast. So I want to look over the schematics and see if there is an easy way to disable the balance sensor. Any Ideas? TIA Mike |

TIA Mike It sounds like you may be overloading it, if the balance is not right the machine will shake itself to pieces so you don't want to disable that. If it is in fact too sensitive there may be an adjustment but I would make sure the machine is being used properly before trying to fix something that may not be broken. |

Well it doesn't matter what you put in it, it doesn't like it. This thing is as precise a tire balancing machine. An adjustment is probably the best route. |

I have a Neptune front loader which is quite tolerant, it will usually try to spin up 2 or 3 times before it gets the balance right, but that process takes all of a minute or two. You might actually look inside to make sure none of the drum supports have come loose, I've never been inside a LG machine but I suspect most of the front loaders are similar inside, with some springs and shock absorbers holding everything together. Does it seem to shake a lot, or does it feel like it really is too sensitive? |

I'm not too sure whats going on, but it can drive you nuts when it takes 10 - 15 minutes to balance. I need to get it out and see whats going on from the inside. Mike |

If a loose contact to the trembler or whatever, then it would do it for the empty, balanced, drum until shaken back into contact. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

Although the model number is different, that looks externally exactly like our UK spec LG machine which does exactly the same thing... I have a copy of the service manual for ours and if yours is similar then I don't see how you can do anything much, as the motor is direct drive and it would appear to use the load sensing on the coils to determine washing load and balance. Short of reprogramming the the firmware I suspect you are stuck with this "feature" Oh, and make sure the actual machine is leveled properly, (with a bubble level) if you haven't already. It helped for ours. Lee -- Email address is valid, but is unlikely to be read. |

I had actually thought about reprogramming the firmware, but doubt that I have the necessary programming skills unless there is a firmware update for thsese. This thing is usless in its current condidion. It estimates a wash to take 60min but usually takes twice that. Of course it updates the remaining time to relfect this also, buy counting down slower. This is another situation where the simplest technology works the best. A normal electric timer would work much better than all of these digital electronics involved. Mike |
