Product review (1 stars): DEAD After Only 14 Months! -- More Expensive To Fix Than Replace.
My previous machine was a KENMORE Top-Loader that lasted an incredible 18 years.  Then, when it was necessary to replace this antiquated laundry hero, I considered a newer high efficiency machine, and ultimately settled on a not-so-cheap LG WM3370HWA, which lured me in with its advanced features.  I felt it might provide an edge cleaning set-in stains, and handling sizeable loads, while reducing impact on the environment.

After four months, problems began, with the washing machine and matching dryer, so I called LG support, and they had me place my telephone against the machine and push some buttons so they could listen to tones the machine produced, to find out what was wrong.  Okay, so it told them I needed to change detergent amount and settings.  Problem solved. Temporarilly.  Another 10 months... right after the washing machine was off warranty, it began screaming, as loud as an abnoxious high-pitched piercing siren every time it spun the clothes!  I contacted SEARS, where I purchased the LG Washer and they callously informed me... "Well, these machines don't last forever, seems to me, you were just unlucky with the machine you bought, and you just got a bad one, there's nothing we,re going to do about it!." They refused to help me further, refusing to accept any additional calls I placed to SEARS.

I then tried to contact LG directly, and found their support line required that I input a cell phone number where I was willing to receive regular text messages (advertising?) from LG.  The automated LG system then announced if I refused to leave a phone number where I was willing to receive text messages, the call would then end.  I did not respond, and the LG voice responded in a very abrupt, loud tone, GOOD BYE---...

I then checked with a local repair center and duscovered bearings go bad, with corresponding cost equal to what I paid for the washer new.  Unfortunately, since the machine was still fairly new, many of the parts are not yet available on the market and I would have to wait another 3-6 months, for them to be made available by the manufacturer, according to this repair shop.  This simply emphasized  the mistake I made in purchasing an LG Washer.

I strongly advise against anyone considering either an LG WM3370HWA, or any LG product, period, due to observed inability to assure quality, poor longevity and value for the price paid, and for inadequate or non-existent customer support to enable post-sale repair problems.  It concerned me with the WM3370HWA, that following my initial contact, I was not able to locate a single LG Customer Support center, other than the one described.

For these reasons I will not recommend LG under any circumstance.
