Where are Washing Machines Born?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today we visit LG's world class autonomous washing machine factory in Clarksville Tennessee, where they have earned the very prestigious 'Lighthouse Factory" Award: www.lgnewsroom.com/2023/01/lg...
The LG Appliance factory can manufacture 1.2 million washing machines every year. My favorite of course is the LG WashTower with its dual inverter heat pump, that does not need a vent: bit.ly/jerryriglg
HUGE thanks to LG for letting us all come out and see the process! #LGPartner #Ad #LGElectronicTennessee #LGClarksvilleLighthouseFactory #SmartFactory #WorldEconomicForum

    Yes, I teach high school engineering (we focus on robotics, CAD, CAM etc) the kids now don't have a good show like How it's Made or myth busters that piques their interest early. I use Jerry Rig Everything, Mark Rober, I Like to Make Stuff and a few others to show the design process. But the large scale factory tour is harder to find. Especially with good explanations.

    The heat pump cycle in the dryer is really nice. Basically there are heat exchangers A and B and the heat pump is heating A while cooling B. Air flows through A, heating up, then enters the drum. There it picks up moisture from the clothes. Then, the moist warm air exits the drum and heads to B where it cools down, releasing it's moisture as condensation. The condensate is collected in a tub or directed to the drain pipe. After this, air circles back to A and the process starts over.

    I'm an appliance repair tech and seeing that LG is made in the US is super interesting! Their laundry products are pretty good, but I'd be lying if I said I never work on them. They have issues with their HAL effect sensor on the motor breaking and not sensing that the tub is spinning/motor is turning. Also, their compressors in their fridges are constantly going out. Granted that is the old model compressors, but LG is the most consistent compressor swap I have to do. I wouldn't purchase one of their fridges, but if I saw their laundry products on sale I would considering picking them up.

    I sell a lot of these and it is cool to see how they are made. Only issues I see with the LG units is the drum gaskets are sometimes not installed correctly or warped on front-loading machines. Other than that, I've observed a lower failure rate than most other brands. If any washing machine repair people can comment on the gaskets, it would actually be appreciated. If it is something I can easily fix in the store, that would be cool.

    The condenser tumble dryers were always the best. It's no secret the ones with the ducts and vents are so inefficient since they dump all the lint and heat outside the building. They basically just heat up the clothes and let the water evaporate. The condenser is like your ordinary fridge or a dehumidifier. But both hot and cold sides are in a single unit. I just hate it that all new washing and drying machines try to use an AI and other internet crap just to function. Like, what's wrong with selecting the program manually and starting it? No need for the companies to listen and watch us through their "smart" appliances.

    Major lowering of the labour cost, and ensuring all the critical precision jobs are always done right every time. Yes the initial costs are very high, but they probably have already earned back that cost in lower warranty costs, and in much lower on the line fixes as well. Plus removing all the on line cosmetic damage, that makes the machine immediately a "second grade" unit, and a much lower selling price from the factory, basically selling it at cost, and making no profit at all from it.

Homes and apartments have been built with the venting so we tend to go with the the "easiest" option in terms of never needing to drain water. On the flip side, I'd bet we don't do a very good job of cleaning and maintaining the dryer vents here either. These newer machines with heat pumps like the one shown here are most likely connected to to the same drain as the washing machine so they do not need to be drained manually.

    They are also 2x+ the price. It also appears they have no ventless electric, and only resistive. So higher cost to use for direct electrical, and since it vents, it will pull warmed / cooled air from your home that you need to now adjust. For me (using gas, but same problem), that is 1.5-2.5x the number of times my furnace cycles while the dryer is running. You could buy two full sets of the one from this episode, it would be faster and cheaper to run still. At this point, resistive heating makes it a non-starter.

Also, lots of people online complaining about them seem to mix them up with condensing and even heater-element dryers.

    It’s super important to keep the heat pump filter and coil clean from dust. Hopefully a well looked after machine will last a decade. They get dusty really quickly, recommend checking the filter every other wash when you first get one to determine how often it needs attention.

    I have an LG washing machine, after 2 years, the surrounding metal around the soap tray is all rusted out because the tray can't contain the water and it spills everywhere. Same issue reported by so many. I guess that's what happens when you let AI do the testing and robots build your washer. Our old washer was from the 80s/90s, handmade likely and still worked fine, we just opted to "upgrade" to save on water. Now water goes everywhere, fun.

    @@fallout560 Well, the Giga press is used to make Megacasting, which is a part of chassis. Normally that part is made from ~70 parts that are welded together, so when it gets damaged, you can't replace for example 20 of them. It is not possible to repair this part of chassis on normally manufactured car and it is not possible on a Tesla. Also, when this part of chassis gets damaged in a crash, the car is most likely totalled. I can't belive there are still people who don't know this, 4 years and millions of manufactured cars since the introduction of Giga press.

    In a previous life I was a manufacturing engineer. Worked in a production facility much like this as we upgraded to autonomous manufacturing (we went from about 500 units a day to about 3500) but didn't have materials handling robots. What was most amazing was the head count didn't go up - it actually went down. So did the hourly wages. The company transferred skilled staff to other lines that had not yet been updated, but you knew as time went on, they would not be rehiring technical jobs like welding, fabricating, etc. Essentially, the hourly workers swapped out tooling, moved items around, cleaned up, or packaged items. There was a small maintenance staff. There were a lot of high paid engineers around the new equipment, but once it was running they were there only for maintenance issues, etc. American manufacturing is as good as anywhere in the world, but our higher labor costs means almost fully automated factories make the most sense for consumer products and heavy duty manufacturing. Specialty and low production products are different, but labor costs is why there are so many more jobs like that overseas.

    Appliance Repair Technician here! LG appliances have such a bad reputation for breaking down in the first 5 years of ownership, that many independent repair shops refuse to work on them. LG made refrigerators for over a decade with bad compressors, which would cause costly failures of nearly 100% within the first 5 years. When LG was forced by class-action settlement to cover the repairs for those refrigerators, they did so with more bad compressors. This was obviously a poor solution, as the replacement compressors also failed within 3-5 years. The reason this information is not readily available is because LG then spent an undisclosed large sum on marketing to "clean up" their online reputation. While I can't blame solely LG, their practices contributed heavily to the rapid degradation in overall quality of residential appliances available in the residential U.S. market. GE Appliances is also owned by Chinese company Haier, and has taken a steep dive in quality.
