In addition to size, LG washing machines differ in their range of functions. You can choose a device with drying and steaming function.

How to find out the model of the LG washing machine?

Each model is marked. It is encoded in a set of numbers and letters. This cipher contains information about:

device power,
loading type,
sizes,
color and set of functions.

Since 2021, the marking contains 8 digits; previously it consisted of 9 digits. It's not difficult to find. Most often, the sticker is located on the front panel of the device, under the hatch door. Sometimes it can be found on the cover covering the drain filter. Also, complete information about the selected model is presented in the technical data sheet of the product.

Barcode decoding

If you correctly decipher the barcode on an LG washing machine, you will be able to find out all the basic information about a specific device:

The first letters LG are the brand name.
This is followed by the letter F, which indicates that the appliance is front-loading.
The next 2 numbers are the maximum speed that the drum can develop during spinning: 14 – 1400 rpm, 12 – 1200 rpm etc.
They are followed by numbers in which the design of the device is encrypted.
The capital Latin letter L indicates that the model is narrow and its load is 5 kg, M – 5.5 kg, N – 6 kg. Standard devices are marked with the letter T.
If the device is equipped with a steam function, then the letter S is additionally printed on the barcode. If instead of it or behind it there is a letter H, then the machine is equipped with a dryer.

LG - decoding the names (encodings) of household appliances

I bring to your attention a decoding of the names (encodings) of LG household appliances.
IMHO this can help you in the store when you choose equipment for yourself, or decipher the name of the product you already have at home. MICROWAVE OVENS LG

Let's figure out what all the symbols in the name of the microwave mean using the example of MH - 6348SAR :

M – LG microwave oven H – type: (S – solo, B – grill (enamel coating), H – grill (antibacterial coating), C – convection, P – SolarDom, F – technology without a turntable, R – automatic moving grill ) 63 – volume: (a little math here): if you have Solo – this number means volume, if Grill (enamel) – you need to subtract 20, if Grill (antibacterial) – minus 40, Convection – minus 50, SolarDom – minus 60. For example, for this model: a grill with an antibacterial coating, which means the volume is 63 – 40 = 23 liters. 4 – type of control: 2 – Mechanical, 4 – Touch, 5 – Clock, 8 – Clock + mechanics. Clock is using a rotating wheel. 8 – year of manufacture: 8 – 2008, 9-2009, etc. S – model (design) AR – details: (can indicate functions, accessories, color. For example: the second letter R – wave dom, QM – master grill, AR – auto moving grill, RF – without rotary table, etc.) In the ArtFlower designer series of microwave ovens there are 4 letters at the end. The last letters indicate the color: for example, model MF6588PRFR: oven with grill, antibacterial coating, volume 23 liters, clock control + mechanics, 2008, rounded back wall and smooth ceramic surface without a turntable. The last letter “R” stands for the color “Red”.

LG VACUUM CLEANERS

Consider the vacuum cleaner VC 5683HTU

VC/VC/VK/VK – vacuum cleaner LG 56 – series 8 – power consumption. 3 -1300W, 4-1400W, 5-1500W, 6-1600W, 7-1700W, 8-1800W, 0-2000W, 2-2200W. H – control type. N – on/off button without reg. power, S – slider on the body, R – control on the body by turning the lever, N – control on the handle, C – Fuzzy Control (control on the handle with buttons). E – tube type. T – telescopic tube, D – composite metal tube, B – composite plastic tube, E – additional bending elbow. U – nozzle type. V – Suni Punch nozzle, U – Carpet Master nozzle, R – rotary nozzle (Corner free), Q – parquet nozzle, M or N – Mini-turbo nozzle. If the letter WA ends, then it is a washing vacuum cleaner.

In the new 2009 models, power is determined by the 4th digit, not the 3rd, for example, the Kompressor VK8810HUMR model - 0 means 2000 W, this is the maximum power. Here he is:

LG REFRIGERATORS

Today, one of the most popular refrigerators is the 399 series. Refrigerators in this series, like everything else in the line, do not need to be defrosted. Let's look at the markings using the example of model GA - B 39 9 BTQAG - LG refrigerator A - country of manufacture of the refrigerator (A - Russia, C - China, R - Korea, W - Poland, L - India) B - features (B - basic, F- presence of a dispenser) 39 – height of the refrigerator (39 – 1.88 m, 35 – 1.71 m) 9 – type of refrigerator (9 – lower freezer, 2 – upper, 7 – side-by-side) B – appearance (B – flat with straight handles, P – hidden handles, T – flat with hidden side handles (for the Art Flower series)) T – material and color (T – titanium, L – silver, V – white (vinyl coating), S – steel, G – glass (for the Art Flower series) Q – external display, C – internal display A – energy consumption class A For the Art Flower series, the last two letters mean the color of the refrigerator: AW – wine red, AT – pearl white. For example, model GA-B399TGAW: Russian assembly, Art Flower series, without dispenser, height 1.88 m, bottom freezer, flat with hidden handles, coating material – glass, wine red:

LG WASHING MACHINES

Washing machines with direct drive: F1220ND5 F – Front load (front loading) 12 – number of revolutions per minute (10 – 1000 rpm, 12 – 1200 rpm, 14 – 1400 rpm) 20 – model (appearance) N – dimensions and loading volume (S-360mm (4.0 kg); L-440 mm (5 kg); M-440 mm (5.5 kg); N-440mm (6.0 kg); T-550mm (8.0 kg) ) D – Direct Drive (direct drive) S – Steam (steam) 5 – color (default is white, 5 is silver, 6 is black, A is pearl silver with flowers, E is dark red with flowers) For example: F1406TDSA - Direct Drive Steam Washing Machine, 1400 rpm, Pearl Silver with Floral Pattern.

What to look for when purchasing?

When purchasing an LG washing machine, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

Engine type and drive . The motor can be inverter or classic. The drive is divided into belt and direct. The latter option is more preferable, as it reduces the frequency of breakdowns, the device itself is quieter, and vibrates less.
Dimensions . You need to focus on the size of the bathroom or other room in which the machine will be installed.
Spin speed . The higher it is, the drier things will be after washing.
Drum volume . For a family of 1-2 people, a device with a tank capacity of 4 kg is sufficient. If there is a child growing up in the house, then you should consider cars from 5.5 kg and above.
Additional functions . For some, steaming things comes to the fore, for others the silent operation of the drum is important, and for others they want a machine with a dryer. It all depends on personal preference.
Energy saving class and power.
Price . The more innovations introduced into household appliances, the higher their cost. However, using modern devices is much more convenient.

Labeling of washing machines from CIS countries

What does each symbol mean in the labeling of washing machines produced in the CIS countries? Here is an example of decoding the model - LG F1096LDSH:

LG is, as many have understood, the name of the company.
The next letter F of the marking indicates the type of loading - frontal. It is with this load that washing machines are common in post-Soviet countries. In LG front-loading washing machines, the hatch is located in the side of the body, and in vertical loading it is located on the top of the lid. Other letters such as M and E may be written.
After the Latin characters we have numbers. The first two digits of the marking, in our case it is 10, indicate the spin speed. The numbers can be different, for example, 12, 16 and even 18. To find out the speed value, you need to multiply this number by 100. The quality of spinning things depends on the spin speed. But not all things will benefit from high speed.
After this, we see an incomprehensible numerical value - this number serves to determine the design of the LG machine. The numbers may be different, it all depends on the external structure of the elements of the washing machine.
The symbol L in this marking example indicates the average depth of the machine. The S value indicates very narrow machines, and on washing machines with a standard depth they indicate W.
The next sign of the Latin alphabet (D) indicates that the washing machine has a direct drive, namely the motor is fixed without a belt and is located near the drum. LG does not produce washing machines with other types of drive, but the symbol D is still written on the markings.
After the designation of direct drive, we see the sign S. This is the first letter of the LG washing machine marking from the English word Steam, which is translated as steam. It is not difficult to guess that S shows us that the washer has the additional ability to create steam. This is needed for better cleaning of things. It disinfects things well, especially when in summer there is a high risk of arthropods getting on clothes.
The following sign of the Latin alphabet may not appear. This is additional functionality. Washing machines that have an extra H value on their markings can dry our clothes.

This decoding of the labeling of LG washing machines was valid until 2016. At the moment, there is a slightly changed labeling and the meaning of its indicators. How are values deciphered in modern models? Let's look at these changes.

Here's an example: LG F2J7HS2S

LG is the name of the brand of household appliances.
The first two values remain the same. F indicates the load type, and the number 2 tells us the spin speed. As you noticed, the speed is now indicated by one number, since models with a spin speed of 1000 rpm are no longer produced. Now 2 means 1200 rpm, 4 means 1400 rpm, etc.
The following value includes a letter and a number. This is a type of control system
The next sign H of the LG marking does not indicate the drying function, but indicates the size of the washing machine. H – narrow machine, T, V – medium, C – deep.
S – steam creation function, nothing has changed here.
2S – design and color. In LG washing machine models until 2021, the design was indicated by a numerical value and came after the spin speed. Now it is written at the end.
