Which is better to buy: Bosch WVG30441 or LG F4J6TG0W?
One buyer chose LG due to more flexible drying and forum complaints about Bosch’s limited 3 drying programs. They report quiet operation and the ability to add drying to most cycles. This is anecdotal but practical for day‑to‑day use. If you value flexible drying and quieter operation, LG F4J6TG0W fits that profile per user experience. “I am very happy,” the owner adds. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16853454]
Does LG F4J6TG0W need a hot‑water inlet?
A contributor clarified that the F4J6TG0W variant is not the hot‑water‑inlet model in the F4J6 family. In practice, buyers should plan a cold‑water connection only. This aligns with the owner who used only a cold inlet. If your installation expects hot and cold, cap the hot and use the cold port. [Elektroda, o tempora o mores, post #17320969]
Can I connect LG F4J6TG0W to cold water only?
Yes. An owner connected only to cold water and reported normal operation. No extra setup was required. This reflects typical European washer‑dryer plumbing, where internal heating brings water to temperature. If your valves provide both hot and cold, connect only the cold. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16856776]
Is the LG F4J6TG0W control panel in Polish?
Yes, the reported unit had a Polish control panel and the owner confirmed local‑language labeling. If buying in another market, panel language may vary by region. Check the sticker on the unit or product card at purchase. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16882601]
What does “cupboard dry” mean on this LG—and should I trust it?
“Cupboard dry” targets ready‑to‑store dryness. The owner was satisfied using Eco drying, and didn’t test cupboard‑dry specifically. For delicates, test with smaller loads first and monitor shrinkage. If items feel warm‑damp at cycle end, add a short extra dry. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16882601]
Can I add drying to any wash program on LG F4J6TG0W?
A user reports you can add drying to most programs, rather than being limited to a third of them. This flexibility helps when you want wash‑and‑dry in one go. It reduces re‑handling laundry and saves time. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16853454]
Does LG F4J6TG0W support NFC to download programs?
Yes in theory, but one user could not get the app to install or work. Reviews cited in the stores were poor at that time. The same user felt manual settings were sufficient. Treat NFC downloads as a non‑essential extra. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16883003]
How do I run drying only on LG F4J6TG0W?
A forum expert saw no dedicated drying‑only option at first glance. They suggested trying Wash+Dry with the “Drying for ironing” level to minimize wash time. If you need dry‑only often, verify this in‑store or with support. [Elektroda, PanAGD, post #17486976]
What does the IE error mean, and how do I fix it?
An expert notes IE usually indicates no water or weak pressure. Try this: 1) Open the supply valve fully and check pressure. 2) Clean inlet filters and verify hoses aren’t kinked. 3) Restart the machine and test a short cycle. “IE error usually means no water, or poor pressure.” [Elektroda, PanAGD, post #17879682]
Could IE be a hardware fault instead of plumbing?
Yes. One owner’s brand‑new unit had a mechanically failed solenoid valve. Service replaced it under warranty, and the issue cleared. This edge case shows that not all IE faults are on the user’s side. If steps fail, book service promptly. [Elektroda, tagerek, post #17879800]
Where is LG F4J6TG0W made, and does it affect language support?
A contributor reported F4J6TG0W is produced in Poland and has a Polish control panel. They also noted errors in the Polish manual and recommended consulting the English version for clarity. Manufacturing location doesn’t imply poorer quality. [Elektroda, o tempora o mores, post #17320969]
Is the 10‑year warranty on the motor real for these models?
The thread opener compared both models with a stated 10‑year motor warranty. Always confirm current warranty terms on your purchase date, since policies can change by market and time. Keep proof of registration if required. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16750292]
Is PLN 2.5k a realistic budget for these washer‑dryers?
Yes, the buyer targeted around PLN 2.5k during their decision process. Prices vary by retailer and promotions. Check for bundle deals, warranty extensions, or delivery/installation fees that affect total cost. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16750292]
Are Bosch WVG30441 drying options limited compared to LG?
In this comparison, Bosch was criticized for offering only 3 drying programs. The LG owner valued adding drying across programs instead. If you need varied dryness levels per fabric, this difference matters in everyday use. [Elektroda, yannek86, post #16853454]
