This is a follow-up to my review of the LG WT 7300. One of the most common questions I
get is how to run the test cycle, so I'm going to show you how to do that today.
Once you have the water hooked up in the back, you've got your drain hose strapped in. You're
going to press the POWER button and very quickly press
SPIN and SOIL. I'm going to try and do it with one hand. It's a little tough, but you've got
to press and hold those two buttons as soon as you press the POWER button. I'll try it again.
So "in 50" just means that I ran a test cycle previously and it was successful.
Most likely you will see "in 5"
and then you'll just press the play button. This is test one. It's filling the tub.
I believe it's just testing the water intakes. It's testing the hot and cold water in takes.
Test three is the sprayer,
and test four I believe is draining.
Test 5 I think is spinning...
yes.
That's a complete and successful test.
Afterwards you'll want to check around the base of your machine to see if there's any water.
Everything looks good. The reason I ran this test today was I had an additional hose connected
to the drain hose and i had this in here and I had this connected
to the rubber hose with a hose clamp and the hose clamp came loose. I ended up
with a mess and wasn't sure if it was the machine or just a loose hose clamp. It turned out to be a
loose hose clamp. Phew! Before I realized the leak was from a hose clamp that I installed,
I sent a picture of my latest catastrophe to a buddy who said, "If i were you,
I'd run that thing that says 'Smart Diagnosis.'" So after a "duh" moment I opened the LG ThinQ app,
selected the machine, pressed the three buttons in the upper right hand corner,
selected Smart Diagnosis, and then followed the prompts.
This is the audible diagnosis.
No issue there.
Then I went back and ran the wi-fi diagnosis.
That looks good as well! You probably don't need to run both diagnostic tools, but I wanted to see
if there were any discrepancies. I hope this video has been helpful. Thanks for watching.
All right! Back to doing laundry.
