The LG model has taken the Thor improvements and
added more features. The controls are electronic, which allow
Delayed Start, Child Lock-out, electronic display of minutes
until completion, etc. The LGs have utilized a Direct-Drive
motor which is quieter. The internal configuration of the Direct
Drive motor has afforded 25% more capacity than the Thor model.
However, this increase in capacity does not mean that the LG
does full-size loads. This model of LG also has an automatic
sensor for ending the dry cycle as well as a timed dryer too.
Both the Thor and LG WD3243RHD are appropriate for studios and
one bedroom layouts only. There is a "work-around"
available to active customers of Oasis Appliance, if you want
to add these least expensive machines in 2 and 3 bedroom layouts.
