Product review (2 stars): Major repair after 8 months
I was very happy with this washer for the first 8 months.... but then the cleaning lady complained of smoke coming out of the washer.  The local LG authorized service guy came (he was great) and said that 4 major parts need to be replaced including the drum.  The bearing was shot, something he said usually happens to 10 year old washers.  Really disappointed though I'm glad it's still under warranty.  I am going to buy an extended warranty, something I have never done for an appliance, since this one is already displaying issues.

I can no longer recommend LG appliances, sorry.
