Product review (4 stars): LG or not LG.  That is the question.
So far so good.  But my expectations are lower after the original part failed on a 7 year old washer.  So far on a 7 year old LG front loader I have replaced the drain pump (5 years),  the door latch, (6 years) and the drum spider and bearings (7 years). I expect better life from a washer.  Not sure how LG is Consumer Reports most reliable front loader.
