Marking of washing machines lg

The first notation for decoding the marking of LG washing machines carries the following information:

• The model code of the LG washing machine always starts with the letter F, E or M. This means the type of loading. Generally, the company could not write this, because it does not produce units with vertical loading. But this is the tradition.
• The next two digits represent the number of revolutions divided by 100. That is, if the number of revolutions is 1000, then the code will be 10, 1400 - 14, etc.

Important! Further you will find two more figures. They designate the model number according to the company's catalog, that is, you can quickly find from these data how the unit should look.

After the model number you will find one of the following letters:

• S;
• L;
• M;
• N;
• T.

For this marking, you define the size of the unit and its capacity:

1. S - machines for small apartments, they can hold 4 kg of laundry.
2. Devices of category L with a width of 440 mm accommodate 5 kg of things.
3. M and N for the same width - 5.5 and 6 kg respectively.
4. Finally, the T mark indicates that the machine has a width of 550 mm and can load 8 kg of laundry.

Important! The next letter the manufacturer could also not put, because this is the letter D, which means Direct Drive, that is, a direct drive. With other drives, LG machines do not exist.

The designation S, which follows the labeling of the drive, means Steam, that is, the steam.

This may end with this code, which means that the machine is white. But sometimes after the last letter there is one more letter or number:

• 5 - silver;
• 6 - black;
• A - silver in flower;
• E - red in a flower.

For example, marking F1096SD5 means that you have a steam washing machine in front of you, it has a direct drive, it makes 1000 rpm, silvery color.

Important! Before you turn on the machine, be sure to read the passport and decipher all the codes that you find there.
