We have the TR7 model with the board.
The TC5, TR3 and TR5 all have the dial and buttons to change cycles. Just like in 1965. The TC5 model also does not have a lid lock.
The dryer we have is the DC5. No board at all. Buttons and dials to control it and turn it on. A very simple machine.
Speed Queen is made by a commercial/industrial appliance maker, so their stuff has to last a long time.................
Owner should claim they wrote additional language where LG owes $1million for failures on the box.
Too bad they don’t make refrigerators...................
Used to do this frequently plus reload software on the old Dos 3.11 systems. If all else fails, reboot!
The key is to unplug it and leave it unplugged for a while before plugging it back into the outlet, for others reading these comments. 🙂
I have been told NEVER to buy a LG product. Just bought a whirlpool that is being delivered this morning.
They have 5 year warranties on most of their products. So, they have to make them better. This lid lock mechanism has been an issue for all the washers that have them. Based on the amount of hits on the YouTube videos watched to repair the problem. So, now they offer the model without a lid lock.
There is also a hack to disable the lid closed indicator. Which means you can actually open the lid while it is running and throw in that SOCK that you dropped on the way to the machine.
Our LG linear compressor failed after 10 years and three months.
Old machines did not have a lid lock.
I used to watch the clothes being washed as a kid...............
I have been told that lightening strikes are very hard to protect because they are so strong they can jump the gap when the fuse is fried. But I guess it is determined about how far away the strike occurs. Most of the problems we have are the regular dirty surges that would never harm an incandescent light bulb, but over the long term are destructive to computers.
There was probably a lawsuit because some kid got hurt during the spin cycle.
Similar to the PTO/deck disengages on my John Deere lawn tractor when you put it in reverse.
Similar to McDs cup that has a reminder that the COFFEE IS HOT(don’t spill it on your crotch ya stupid beotch).
“Another problem with these so-called smart refrigerators are that electrical storms can wipe them out by frying the electronics when power surges occur. Same goes for microwave or regular ovens.”
So, what are you supposed to do? Throw the breaker when there’s an electrical storm? Because I sure as hell can’t move the damned thing away from the wall to unplug. How many of these LG parts are actually “made in China”, I wonder. It’s always a tradeoff....price and affordability vs. quality and reliability. I’d rather pay more for a brand name like Frigidaire or Whirlpool, and even then you have to worry about those ‘components’ that are farmed out.

They produce their line of products in South Korea, China, the USA, Mexico, and a couple of other sites in Europe and Asia, making their affordable, high-quality appliances more accessible to customers all over the globe.

>>>There was probably a lawsuit because some kid got hurt during the spin cycle.<<<
That’s exactly what happened. A few broken arms from someone, not necessarily kids, and they sued companies for their own stupidity............
“Used to do this frequently plus reload software on the old Dos 3.11 systems. If all else fails, reboot!”
Only, that is what’s called a “cold boot” (unplugging).
My dad bought a Kenmore fridge in the 1970s, nearly 50 years ago. Still works fine, never needed service.
I buy and flip residential property. When it’s a good idea to add or replace appliances, I get them on Facebook. There’s always someone “upgrading” from a good old machine to something shiny and “smart,” and grateful to have you haul it away to where it is likely to keep working for another decade.
In my situation, the lightning hit a tree right outside my house. So, at least it did not hit my house and start it on fire.
A guy in my office lost pretty much all the expensive electronic equipment in his house one time when it got hit by lightning. Enough that he claimed it on his home owners policy. As he was complaining about it I reminded him he should be grateful his house did not catch on fire and burn down.
I have gotten surge protectors for all of these appliances as a result.
‘Cold boot’ - OK.
I believe that the older appliances are the good ones...
