LG washing machines are the bane of my existence today because we have a power outage that will last for quite a while, clothes inside the washer, in water, and a locked lid. So far I haven't any way to open the damn thing without taking a hammer to it.
- EasyMark 3y agoooof this is why I bought a generator after the last big outage. Well not unlucky enough to have clothes stuck in a washer but it was still damn cold for 2 days.
- winrid 3y agoHaving a little UPS handy might be useful if you have power outages. You could just plug the machine into it to unlock it. Ridiculous, but an idea.
- tunesmith 3y agoDefinitely trying this. Brought our UPS to the hotel to charge it up.
- tunesmith 3y agoUpdate: it worked! We were able to save our sopping filthy clothes. ;-)
- winrid 3y agoNice :)
- winrid 3y agoBy the way, you can also get a little 1000-2000 watt inverter on Amazon for less than $200. It can run off your car battery. Great for emergencies, cheaper than a generator for short term usage. I've used mine to run a stick welder and air compressor in the middle of nowhere.
