We bought this front load washer and matching dryer (electric) to replace a much older LG set. This set runs much quieter and have found the savings in our electric bill not withstanding the change from an LP dryer to electric. We have consistently bought LG appliances for our home and now sold home in Mexico. We also changed out our non LG stove and refrigerator that came with our current home. We have not once had to have a service all. We anticipate the same with the new washer/dryer set.
