Product review (1 stars): LG Machine Didn't Stand the Test of Time
So here's the deal. My LG is now 5 years old. For the first couple of years I was happy as a clam. It played a sweet little song when the cycle was done which made me skip while doing laundry and I thought "this machine is amazing." Then one by one things started happening. The first was the alternate features were no longer available. Then things would stay wet. Then grease stains would somehow appear on the clothes. Then it got louder and louder and LOUDER AND LOUDER. When the repairman told us the price to fix the drum bearings I was astonished...$600 for parts alone and another $300 at least for labor. I'll get a new machine and it will NOT be an LG. I have a front load Kenmore that I bought 15 years ago that is still going strong with only 1 small repair. This LG cleaned well while it worked, but once things started breaking, it went downhill fast. I expect a clothes washer to last longer than 5 years when you pay as much as I did. So, I am not happy with this machine for it's value in relation to it's lifespan.
