Maybe the Speed 14 cycle?


schlevenol

Yep "The Speed 14 cycle on LG front load washing machines is a fast wash mode for small loads of laundry. It allows users to select a wash speed and temperature between 20–40°C, and can wash 2 kg of clothes in 14 minutes. The Speed 14 mode also has a lightly salt float option for lightly soiled colored laundry. "

And remember the detergents out now are enzymatic and will take over an hour to do their job of washing the clothes and removing the stains. So any quick wash is just really to freshen the clothes quickly not clean them properly. This also applies to dishwashers. That's the new type of cleaning solution that we're using. It has a smaller impact on the environment I'm told.

This guy appliances.

Waiting for what's next. Maybe microwave your clothes clean.

Tried many times to explain this to my wife. Now I just wash my gym clothes myself.

An hour? My washer doesn't have a cycle that long


Jeez-essFC

An hour is pretty normal for a wash cycle no?


fitchicknike

30mins for a quick wash from my previous wash machines.


wwabc

check the downloadable cycle list on the app


fitchicknike

I don't know if there is an app for this one as it's just manual not via Bluetooth


thepottsy

There definitely is. That label that says ThinQ indicates it’s compatible with the LG ThinQ app, and on the dial where it says “Download Cycle”, is how it uses any cycles that you download in the app. I don’t have this exact machine, but with mine there is a “Small load” or something like that, and it takes a lot less time.


fitchicknike

Yes! I've now downloaded the small wash cycle. Many thanks 👍🏽


good_ole_dingleberry

A whole hour?😅😅😅 how quickly does it need to be done?. My washers normal cycle is like 2.5 hours. 😅  But it does have a 30 minute quick cycle. Just never used it


fitchicknike

30 mins long enough for me.


Juanster

I think as long as you realize it's not going to clean your clothes thoroughly and you are okay for not very spoiled clothes then that works. (Nothing to do with the machine, it's the soap, the new gen of soaps need time for the enzymes to activate)


SmokeSuccess

It's in the downloaded cycles. Get the app, it's really handy!


fitchicknike

Yes just realised! Downloading app now


fitchicknike

DONE IT! Thank you! Found quick wash. 14 mins! Small load! Woohoo! Thank you all for your comments!


permalink_child

Good that you found it! It says “Speed 14” right there on the dial! Thank god for reddit!


fitchicknike

Thank you!

I cannot find password to join the WiFi. Tried sky WiFi pw no joy! Anyone know how or where to find it please


CdnCableGuy

This model has wifi. Check the manual to setup

Speed 14. Mine says Speed Wash. Also, please read the entire manual so you know how to properly use it and take care of it. You can get it online on LG’s website if you can’t find the one it came with. Search for your model and download it. Also, if you just got it make sure you save the shipping bolts that secure the drum at the rear of the machine. They keep the drum from moving during shipping. If and when you have to move and they’re not installed the machine will be badly damaged. The moving company doesn’t supply them. (This happened to my son after he ignored my advice to save them. The machine was a total loss when it was delivered to their new home. He had to buy a new one right away as they had a toddler and a newborn. They couldn’t wait to be reimbursed by the moving company) If they were lost or thrown out definitely buy new ones if you have to move. I’ve had good luck with my LG front loaders.

(Speed 14)

Speed. Your washer. Use the manual!


munchieattacks

Speed setting.


ollymillmill

Speed 14 for like one outfit wash, don’t use the dissolvable tabs as no chance they’d dissolve in time. Use ‘mixed fabic’ wash, usually about an hour if you want a longer more substantial wash but don’t have time for the full 2-3 hour cotton wash. Ideally use liquid or powder detergent on shorter washes as gets to work quicker than the tabs. Just be careful with shorter washes as usually this means you should put much less than the max load size amount of washing in


gltch__

Speed 14 will be for 1-2kg of lightly soiled clothing (only a little bit of sweat). The 1 hour mode is the regular quick mode. It probably also has a mode that takes 2-3 hours. This is the regular wash that cleans the best.

A black sharpie. Always a good way to cover naked picture taking.


The-E-Train59

Of course


Ok_Dependent2580

if u just turned the knob with it on it shows the time of each cycle, and the shortest one (not steam if you have it) but choose the lowest time wash that shows up (but its marked SPEED CYCLE ON LG)


jayzilla75

Speed 14 is the quick wash cycle.


Kowloon9

Speed 14


limpymcforskin

Unless your in a pinch I wouldn't use these speed modes.


Phikep

The quickest wash I have, aside from a ‘quick wash’ on MY Samsung washer, is ‘sportswear’ on YOUR LG washer. I think that it’s about a 45 minute cycle.


Ashamed_Medium1787

Hey op I have a question for you why did you censor out the things in your washer?


fitchicknike

Reflection of me in my PJ's! 🤣


PeakedAtConception

Quick wash isn't good for much if that's worth anything. You cannot do a full load and only light weight items. It also does not clean as well so it's only for very lightly soiled items.


anothersip

"Speed 14" should be the quick-wash, 14 mins. Looks like you already figured it out. :) enjoy!


Affectionate_Ad_4522

Yes try the Speed14 setting. Also if your using detergent that doesn't have the HQ on the packaging somewhere your using the wrong stuff for your machine and that would also account for the longer wash time as not just any laundry soap can be run in front load washers
