Product review (3 stars): Not a genuine LG replacement. Weak magnet works, but barely holds the door ajar
Pros:
  It fits
  Relatively inexpensive when compared to the list price of the actual LG replacement part

Cons:
  Magnet is weak in comparison to the original, so it barely holds the door when it's set ajar
  Spring is kinda weak, but not a super big deal
  Not exactly the same as the original, so if you thought you were ordering a genuine LG part, you'll be disappointed

This magnetic washing machine door "plunger" definitely isn't the same as the original LG.  From a distance, they look pretty similar, but when you look at them more closely, you can see there are differences.  This one fits, and it does stay loaded in the door.  Unfortunately, it just BARELY has the strength to hold the door ajar, which is its primary job, and a pretty important one:  helping to promote airflow in order to minimize the growth of fungus.  If only the magnet were stronger (like the original) it would deserve more than three stars--even though it's clearly a knock-off, not genuine LG. We'll see how well it holds up...

If you're experiencing mold smells, be sure to:
1) remove clothes immediately at the end of their cycle, so your clothes aren't sitting damp in the washer for an extended time;
2) leave your door ajar (never keep your door closed except when a wash cycle is actually running);
3) disinfect your drum regularly using the tub clean cycle and bleach and/or a commercial washing machine disinfecting cycle.  Even chlorine bleach doesn't kill everything because it can't get everywhere inside the machine, and it can't penetrate certain hydrophilic molds and thick biofilms even when it can reach them for a short period of time;
4) clean out the filter/drain at the bottom of your machine regularly (this is frequently overlooked, but remember the washer ALWAYS keep some water at the bottom, and this is one place microbes can grow;
5) avoid using commercial fabric softeners in the wash, as many of these have oily/greasy (nonpolar) ingredients that stick to interior components (drum, plumbing, etc.) and basically feed microbes. They can build up on the interior of the washer where you can't see it unless you disassemble your washer.
