A good buddy of mine is in appliance repair - he said that he never
gets calls on the LG Tromm series of cloths washers/dryers. We had a
Maytag front loader before the LG and it was JUNK. Within 6 years it
was "done". Terrible design and we were actually happy when it wore out
so we didn't have to deal with it anymore.
The LG Tromm has been great for 4+ years, and other than cleaning the
lint trap, hasn't needed a thing in the way of service.

This is a personal consumer/user question regarding front loading
clothes washing machines.
I know many testing organizations compile lists of Best Buys based on
features and the results of short term, limited testing, but the
reports of those LIVING with and USING a machine provide a lot of very
useful data for the propsective purchaser.
Has anyone had ANY brand of front load washing machine (and dryer, for
that matter) that has been, for a year or more, Pain Free (no repairs,
no balance problems, no problems getting clothes clean, no control
malfunctions), and the machine hasn't had problems that could not
readily be resolved under warranty, or by owner or technician provided
service if out of warranty? Has anyone had a recent acquisition (say,
less than 3 years) NOT cost them a large sum of money in repair or
parts costs?
I have a 17 year old top load Maytag that could now use a number of
replacement parts (things do wear out over time and with heavy use),
so I'm considering a new "better" washing machine (although some
needed parts are still available through ApplianceClinic.com, a good
source). From what I've read while researching washers on the web,
NONE of the new models from ANY manufacturer seem to last more than a
few weeks before something goes wrong. Seriously! If you go to
ConsumerAffairs.com and search on any brand washer, you'll be
confronted with so many horror stories that you may NEVER feel
confident about spending cash on a new machine. There are nearly as
many horror stories about warranty and service repairs, as well.
Therefore, I'd like to know if there is anything really positive to be
said by consumers about modern clothes washing machines in regard to
durability and / or the manufacturer's acceptance of responsibility to
the consumers.
Thanks,
Jerry aka LGO
