Are you tired of your LG washer’s default spin cycle leaving your clothes damp and wrinkled? It’s time to unlock the hidden power of spin-only cycles and achieve perfectly spun laundry every time. This comprehensive guide will empower you with step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting tips, and expert advice on how to spin only in LG washers.

Understanding Spin-Only Cycles

Spin-only cycles are designed to remove excess moisture from your clothes without washing them. This can be particularly useful for delicate fabrics that can’t withstand regular wash cycles, or for quickly drying items that have already been washed.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Load Your Washer

  • Ensure that your LG washer is empty and free of any laundry.

2. Select the Spin Cycle

  • Turn the dial or press the appropriate button to select the “Spin” or “Spin Only” cycle.

3. Adjust the Spin Speed (Optional)

  • Some LG washers allow you to adjust the spin speed. Choose a higher speed for faster drying, but keep in mind that higher speeds may cause more wrinkles.

4. Press Start

  • Once you have selected your desired settings, press the “Start” or “Play” button to initiate the spin cycle.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. The Washer Doesn’t Spin

  • Check if the washer is properly plugged in and the power is turned on.
  • Ensure that the door is securely closed and locked.
  • Verify that the washer is not overloaded.

2. The Clothes Are Still Damp After Spinning

  • Try increasing the spin speed.
  • Add a few dry towels to the washer to absorb excess moisture.
  • Extend the spin cycle time by pressing the “Spin” button again after the initial cycle is complete.

3. The Washer Is Making Unusual Noises

  • Stop the cycle and check if there are any objects stuck in the drum.
  • Rebalance the load by redistributing the clothes evenly.
  • Contact LG customer support if the noise persists.

Additional Tips for Optimal Spinning

  • Use a high-efficiency detergent to create more suds, which can help to absorb moisture.
  • Add a fabric softener to reduce static and make clothes softer after spinning.
  • Fluff your clothes immediately after spinning to prevent wrinkles.
  • If your clothes are particularly delicate, consider using a gentle spin cycle or a spin bag designed for delicate fabrics.

Benefits of Spin-Only Cycles

  • Faster drying times
  • Reduced wrinkles
  • Preservation of delicate fabrics
  • Energy efficiency (by eliminating the need for additional wash cycles)

Wrapping It Up

Mastering the art of spin-only cycles in LG washers is a game-changer for your laundry routine. By following these simple steps and troubleshooting tips, you can achieve perfectly spun laundry every time. Embrace the power of spin-only cycles and enjoy the benefits of faster drying, reduced wrinkles, and preserved fabrics.
