LG Washing Machines Reviews

My washer makes clothes smell very, very bad. Nothing helps. It is also very shaky which doesn't help leveling either. Finally, the pump makes a terrible noise.

We have not received any money as promised by LG representatives for the inconvenience of not having our dryer. I have had approximately $50 in clothes since ruined due to not having my dryer. Since our insurance could deny a claim for any damage due to that dryer, we have basically lost the cost of the dryer, which I believe we paid $2200 for the set with extended warranties (which I believe are now a bunch of crap!). If an attorney is reading this, I would very much like to know if I can sue over this. I don't think it is unreasonable for a person to ask for a new dryer after it almost burns your house down - especially when the dryer is only a few months old.

Have LG Tromm Model # WM2277HW and dryer Model # DLE5977W. After taking clothes out of washer, there are what appear to be oil spots on clothes. Have re-washed and they are permanent. Not everything gets the spots, just some of my clothes, and it doesn't happen every time.

The stains do not come out at all. They are permanent. So, I have to keep buying clothes, sheets, whatever I wash.

Before Christmas 2005 we purchased a LG Tromm frontloader Model: WM2277HW, from Best Buy. The salesman at Best Buy told us this was the best washer we could buy, that is was an awesome machine. And that it would be perfect for us, since we, run on a slow day, two loads of laundry.

I purchased an LG front loader washer from Best Buy 4 years ago. It is turning my white clothes dingy, gray/brown. There are also mysterious stains that show up on my white clothes. It doesn't matter how much bleach, etc. I put in the washer--they get more and more dingy. Best Buy is coming out to look at it this week as we have a 5-year warranty.

This machine has made me sick to my stomach on many occasions the mold odor is so strong in my laundry room. I can hardly stand to use this machine.

June 2006 we bought a house with a laundry closet that required stackables. So I gave up my used $200 Kenmore toploaders that had been serving me well for years and got an LG front loading washer & dryer. I was actually sort of excited to get such a cool high-tech washer and dryer. Oh the money and water I was going to save! Oh how clean my clothes were going to get with this great machine! And I'd save on detergent? What a win-win situation!

We bought the LG 4WM2277HW washer and dryer on 5/6/06. From the first week on, our clothes have smelled. As all the other complaints I've read, there is always a sour and moldy smell not only inside the washer but also permeating our clothes. Bleach, vinegar, baking soda, every brand of HE laundry soap, Febreze...NOTHING makes the clothes smell good.

My husband and I purchased a LG frond load washer WM2277HW and dryer set Jan 23 2007. At the end of Feb/beginning of March the door lock took approx 10 min to release following washing clothes. A service person came and changed the switch - didn't help, ordered the electronic control panel, it came in about a month later. LG send the wrong part. The service man was able to get the washer to work anyway. This process took approx 6 wk to 2 mo.

Purchased front load washing machine two months ago. I anticipated that the machine would leave a little moisture inside but not a substantial amount of standing water. I have to literally scoop out the water and towel dry the interior. This is a nuisance not to mention a safety hazard.

We purchased an LG washer and dryer in November 2006. The washer has a mildew smell and we have cleaned mold out of the washer. We run the washer with bleach and the smell continues. Neither Home Depot nor LG will do anything about it. Do NOT purchase an LG washer.

So far LG electronics is giving me the runaround on my new front loader washer and dryer. The washer has water pouring out the front, needs a new motor and control panel.

We purchased an LG washer & dryer in February 2006. We first noticed a smell shortly after they were installed and the odor became increasingly worse. We contacted the repair service and were advised that this was a common problem with the LG washer. We were told to clean the trap and run a bleach load once a week. What a joke, it didn't work. I contacted customer service at LG and was told to run a bleach load once a week and clean the trap. Also to leave the door open. I informed them that we were doing that and it made no difference. I also told them that there was a black mold on the door seal. They said just wipe it off with a bleach rag.

Stinky clothes. I've had to run about 5 times more the amount of cycles. Resulting in more dryer time. Stressed and fed up.

Bought the front loading washer to be more economical...using less soap and water. This washing machine leaves a terrible smell on your clothes and towels. Inatially I thought it was something I did wrong. Since I have washed laundry for many years in many different machines. Also it leaves our clothing dirtier than before we washed them. It leaves stains on our clothing that was not there when I put the laundry in the machine. It was not until reading many other consumer reviews that I was not alone with this terrible situation. Especially since the cost of these washing machines is greater than a lot of other options out there.

Purchased LG front load washer m/n WM2277HS on 3/25/07. Horrible rancid smell from wahser that is now attacking cloths. Have followed advise of running machine through wash cycle with bleach as indicated, zero results. Keep door open all the time, zero results. Have looked at hundreds of complaints on internet about the same problem with zero results from LG. We must join together and make LG eat every one of these washers or come up with a solution that works. Any attorneys out there wanting to file a class action suit should count me in.

Thousands of dollars in damaged clothing. Thousands of dollars in wasted water, not to count the time it takes to run this washer and dryer.

(2) This is a new complaint I have not seen as of yet...this washing machine utterly DESTROYS MY WHITE CLOTHES. It leaves them with a DINGY GRAY COLOR THAT WILL NEVER COME OUT. It doesn't matter how big or small the load is or weather I use hot or cold water or if bleach is used or not. It makes no difference. I have put brand new blouses and undergarments in the washer and they are never white again. My husband works in a hospital and must wear white uniforms. These uniforms have become completely dingy and gray after washing and only become worse and worse till he just cannot wear them anymore because it becomes so embarrassing. He then has to get new uniforms.

Clothes have stunk for almost two years. Cant just wash and go... have to leave door open, wipe rubber seal, run extra empty bleach, vinegar, and Sunlight loads increasing my water comsumption, plumbing problems due to residue, and to think I spent over $2000 so I could have a matching set.

Machines still under warranty, less than six months old. The dryer will not dry my clothes and the washer smells like mold, as does my house.

This washing machine is over the top with problems. It holds dirty water and smells badly which infects the clean clothes. The large seal holds dirt and water and needs cleaning out after every wash load. Ridiculous! It sounds like a turbo jet is coming down the hallway during the spin cycle.

Our LG Clothes Washer has excessive vibration during spin cycles. The whole house shakes! Nail pops everywhere, cracking grout on the tile floors, things dancing off shelves, light fixtures rattle, etc.

Purchased the LG Washer & Dryer about 3 years ago. The washer leaves clothes smelling like mold. The washer itself stinks like mold. Stopped using both machines about a year ago. Purchased a standard top loader and installed it in the basement. The dryer took literally hours to dry. The sensor setting never worked. Called LG several times. Did everything they suggested bleach, Tang, cleaning out the gasket after each use. My husband who purchased these for the businesses he manages, had to replace them. Useless. The $2000 LG pair are paper weights only.

Dealing with the mold issue in my front loading 15 month old LG Tromm - wondered why all my towels keep smelling once they get wet...after looking at my washer more closely noticed the grime, mold and build up around and under the gasket. LG recommended vinegar, bleach, running the sanitary cycle blah, blah - nothing works. They then referred me to an authorized technician who took the gasket off and could not put it back on. I spent all day on the phone to LG and the useless technicians they referred me to as their authorized reps. Finally, found someone who put the gasket back on, but he admitted the mold problem won't go away, the best you can do is to clean if after every wash!! I've got time to do that with two toddlers at home!! Won't ever buy LG again

We purchased an LG front loader washing machine from hhGregg with an extended warranty contract. The moldy smell after several months was so bad after every wash. If you leave clothes in there for even a couple of hours they smell. I have to use bleach between cycles to rid the smell. Customer Service told me that mold is not covered by the warranty contract and I'd be charged for the call. I told her this isn't just mold but has to be a machine defect causing it....she was like too bad. Unbelievable. LG should offer a fix.

I have problems with my LG waher and dryer. Dryer will not dry clothes on the sensor setting and the washer leaves greasy black residue on clothes. LG has sent out service people who freely admit that they don't know how to fix these machines.

I purchased an LG front loading washer and dryer from Best Buy in Kalamazoo, Michigan in December of 2003. By February of 2004 my dryer was making a terrible noise and I called the 800 number for LG and after several tries they scheduled an in-home service call. The person that they sent had never even seen an LG appliance before. (Now we had called a dealer that handled LGs before we purchased these appliances as they were very expensive and we had never spent that much money on a washer & dryer before. They gave them rave reviews. When we called them to service ours they didn't come to our area for service.)

These two items were very expensive and I have had more repair problems! No one works on them and when they do, they are very expensive. I hate these products! Don't buy them!

Right now we can not clean our clothes without them smelling like mold. We will have to wait until the local repair service comes out before we can wash our clothes and we do not know if that will even work to remedy our problem.

Purchased a LG washer & dryer from Best Buy. Have had the dryer replaced with in one year. The washing machine leaves clothing smelling like old rags. I have cleaned the gasket--keep the filter clean-run white vinegar thru machine-nothing works--Both machines are junk. LG gives no support-Best Buy is no better.

I must drive 50 miles round trip to a laundry facility every saturday, I must put money aside for the cost of using a public washer and dryer and the use of extra gas for my car, not to mention my time.

On May 1-st 2006 I bought an LG washing machine. Since the first month the machine start smelling like rotten water.I have called LG many,many times and enyone who answers there gives different suggestions.I have been running water and bleach each time before waching my loundry, I have been using expensive HE soap,I have been leaving door open...nothing helps. And the service with LG is more than terrible.I have been waiting 5 weeks to service my washing machine and today a guy called me and said I can run hot water and bleach.The explanations of me had been doing it didn't help. I am very frustrated with LG.

Bought the LG washer and dryer and had the door rattling loudly at first. Took 3 repair calls to fix. Then the musty smell started. Each time a repair guy came out it was something we were doing wrong. Too much soap, not enough soap. We have had a smell in the dryer, the repair guy told us not to use softener sheets, use liquid. Use it a couple of times and the washer stunk up the whole house. Next tech said never use liquid softener even though the machine has a dispenser. He said liquid softener goes rancid in the filter trap.

Purchased LG Washer and LG Dryer spring of 2005. Replaced gas valve ignition set June of 2006, and since then the dryer will not dry clothes. Now the incident has occurred again.

We purchased the LG front loader washer/dryer combo one year ago. Since then, it has leaked three times and leaves my towels smelling like mold. Also, water is always present in the fabric softener cup when the cycle is complete. A repair tech told me that I need to use he detergent (which I have used and still have had the problem). He said the suds from the regular soap build up, causing leakage and leaves the film behind. I've been instructed to wash to cycles w/o clothing, using vinegar, which I have not yet done. Now, I'm my wash cycle stops and I get a signal LE. I've just phone the repair company again and I'm waiting to see what happens next.

I have been noticing a musty smell when I open the washer door - it never goes away, even though I leave the door open to air dry the washer between washings. There is also about 1/2 of residue water in the detergent tray after the washing is complete. I have cleaned out the drains, the gasket and the detergent trays but they do not fix the problem.

We purchased an LG washer and dryer in April 2004, and are experiencing our third breakdown. The two previous dryer repairs cost us over $500.

Defective design with dryer rollers. Noisey operation with a $1,000.00 dryer is unacceptable. I have been in contact with LG countless times with documentation to back it up. Six different repair companies attempted repair but ALL failed due to poor design in rollers. ALL STATED LG ENGINEERING HAS ADMITTED NO FIX AVAILABLE. Seven sets of rollers and a dryer replacement should be proof enough.

Five weeks ago LG Washer started leaking during spin cycle. Called repair service 1st call couldn't see a problem. Washer leaked again, I ran before second call2. repair man agreed said he would talk to LG. Couldn't use machine for over a week,repair man came, put in part recommended by LG. Ran machine next day leaked again. Repair man came, said he couldn't fix contacted LG they told him to order same part again. Now waiting. Washing Machine under warranty , 1st year, so LG is responsible. When part arrives, in a week,if that doesn't solve the problem then repair man will file a Can't Fix form. It will then take LG 21 days to Process the Paper( that is there official position) and then I can order a replacement. TOTAL TIME without a washer will be 8 weeks. Does anyone find that reasonable??

Washing machine flashes error message 1E..water inlet error. There isn't a water inlet error because there is plenty of water (stagnant) in the machine each load. We've drained the water from the machine at least 10 times to no avail. This is a Tromm unit that cost over $1000 with tax and we are disgusted with this appliance. Our tile floor is shot because we drain the Tromm about 3x a week and the buckets overflowed 2 x!

I purchased an LG Front Loading Washing Machine. Since I purchased this washer, all my clothes (especially towels) stink like a musty mold smell. There are similar complaints all over the internet.

Bought the Tromm steam Washer & Dryer ( $1500 + tax just for the washer!). The dryer blew up within the first week.

I have an LG front loader washer. I loved this appliance with all my heart until the gunky and smelly mold/mildew build-up began. Now I am always trying to wipe up and it always comes back. LG customer service told me that the manual says to dry the gasket after each use.

I purchased a new LG Front load dryer on February 28, 2006 from Home Depot. It was delivered to my home approximately two weeks later and set up by a subcontractor hired by Home Depot. On April 23, 2006 and withput warning my dryer suddenly failed. I called LG to report the matter. a technician came to my home and advised the power cord was not installed properly and shorted out the dryer. He conferred with LG's technical support and ordered parts. he came back to work on the dryer. installed the ordered parts and new power cord. The dryer would not operate.

I purchase a Washing Machine Model WM2075Cake LG TROMM. It was delivered Tuesday, when I started using it I noticed It was leaking. I called Bestbuy to observe were the leak was coming from the returned on thursday with a new machine, they took the old one. The new one started leaking immediately from the front of the machine,again I called Best Buy -- they started to say these are great machines that this is very unusual then he start telling me that the machine leaks because I dont have a water catching pan under my machine. I told him 2 buckets of water are not suppose to come out of a machine. My carpet got wet and water leaked from the upstairs laundry room to the downstairs kitchen.

My LG washing machine broke down after 13 months use. Had a 2yr guarantee, tried to call the services centre usine number given on back of manuel, eventually got through after 2 days to be told they hadn't dealt with LG for 4 yrs!! Eventually got through to service centre Fri 7/04/06, company called ServiceLine, arranged for someone to call out Tues 11/04, took day off work they never showed up. After much to do the service call centre arranged for someone to call out at 8am the following morning, he left at 8.45am saying I needed a part & if it was in stock he would get someone to drop it in tomorrow, but instead of ordering it there and then he waited until the end of the day.

I have purchased a LG Washing machine Model WM2442H and found this model of have some problem. The Option “Pre-Wash” with the any selected factory programs will not have enough water to washing all clothing in the full load condition. The full load mean like 18-20 lbs. of clothing or 18prices of full size of bath towers. I have replaced the machine twice and same problem. Service call to LG and the answer is this model of machine should loaded 11 lbs of clothing in dry condition, otherwise will be too much.
