Hello Kallie2079.
The only thing plastic on the LG - 5.2 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Mega Capacity High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer - Graphite Steel Model # WM8000HVA is the control panel and I suspect this will be true for most if not all washers.
The PCM cabinet on the WM8000HVA is a kind of compound metal sheet rolled with color coating. The base metal is composed of a layer of 0.3mm ~ 1.2mm thickness of cold rolled steel, galvanized steel, or aluminum alloy plate and other metal sheets. The advantages of this are that you get colorful coating, with wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, oil-resistant, easy-wash properties and best of all, a quality unit at a very competitive price...IFV
