[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the washer and dryer 2013 and the machines are still working good.Two service call in that time and both times the washer works great. LG Family
We bought this machine 8 years ago. It has had unbalanced issues within 6 months. 2 years ago the pump would not shut off and we have fixed that several times with a YouTube hack. 1 month ago it would not pump out all of the water and so would not spin. The repair shop said we needed a new board. This was going to cost more than half of what we paid for the washer. We bought a different brand.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We bought this almost 7 years ago. The laundry cycle keeps stopping and I am getting an error message that says IE which I believe means not enough water getting into the drum. When that happens The laundry appears to be soaked and I start a new wash and hit spin only and more water pours into the drum. All the plumbing connections are correct. Is this the beginning of the end for this washer or do you think it can be repaired?
I would recommend this to a friend!

The IE error code means that the washer fills with water slowly or not al all. Possible root causes for this issue are that the water supply taps are not fully open or are kinked, pinches or bent is some way. Or the water inlet filters are clogged or that the water pressure is too low. Before replacing the washer I recommend checking the water lines for possible obstructions, clean the inlet filters, and check that the water pressure is adequate. ^Jennifer

Terrible!

Never cleaned clothes very well at all. Now it is 7 years old and LE error code won't turn off. Won't work at all. Never have I ever overloaded the machine. It was well cared for and looks new still. Too bad it is dead! They build these things to be recyclable so we just spend and spend. Remember when things were built to last.
Pros: Style/Design

The LE error code means that there was a thermal overload protection circuit in the motor has been tripped and does not mean that you overloaded the washer. We recommend allowing the washer to stand for 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool; then restart the cycle. If the LE error code still appears afterwards, then unplug the washer can call for a servicer. Since the washer is out of warranty you would be responsible for labor and any part replacements that are not covered. To schedule repair, please reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter using @LGUSSupport, in the first message include #VOC, your contact and model/serial # and we can schedule service or provide you with a list of servicers in your area. Thanks. ^Jennifer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As long as the machine runs and doesn't need an LG employe to touch it, you will be fine. However if you need LG service, expect the worst to happen.

Unbalanced / Clutch issues

After only 7 years this machine keeps giving error code and now recommended maintenance which will cost about half of the cost when purchased. Buying from a reputable brand that’s been making them for a long time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Drainage problem

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a tech come out and change out the drain pump, but still doesn't drain. He said there could be wiring issue, suggested we replace after only 6 years of use. No problems until this, but hoped it would last longer before needing replaced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sever Balancing Issues
on May 4, 2022
Posted by: Little Red99
from California
We bought this machine about 7 years ago, mainly because we are on a well and want to conserve water and save energy... So much for that. I've disliked this machine almost from the very beginning. I have to place and arrange each piece of clothing in the washer one by one, based on weight, in order to self balance the load before even turning the washer on. Then I have to watch thru the class lid as the machine starts, to make sure it is balanced. If I see it's not balanced, I have to open the machine and rearrange the placement of the cloths; many times I have to do this process over and over again. If the balancing isn't exactly right the washer will take forever spinning and stopping over an over again to "balance" the loan before the wash cycle will even begin. Oh and forbid the load gets off balance prior to the spin cycle. The washer will completely fill with water, empty the water & try to spin again; completing this process over and over again until the load is "balanced". I have literally (and I know the meaning of literally) had a load underway for over 3 hours, before I had to step in and rebalance the load by hand. We will not start a load and leave this washing machine unattended! We would have gotten rid of this washer years ago, but can't justify it if the machine isn't actually broken beyond repair. I've just learned to deal with it. I'll never buy this washing machine again or recommend this style of washing machine.
