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

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.

Oh and before someone tells me to balance the load better before starting
the washer.. It is a Front Loading machine.

Thanks James.

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.

Interesting. 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?

It doesn't shake much. If it is off center AT ALL it won't keep going. 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.

Have you tried it with an empty drum ?
If a loose contact to the trembler or whatever, then it would do it for the
empty, balanced, drum until shaken back into contact.

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.

Thanks for the info... 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.

From the helpful links posted above, I notice from the manual that your
model number has a "ball sensor" for balance, (which ours doesn't have),
maybe there is scope for some adjustment to this part?

Or if not adjustment, some sort modification such as adding a resistor in
