I purchased the Tromm Dryer less than 2 years ago and have recently been experiencing a problem with it. I began making a terrible thumping noise and upon further investigation we discovered that the Dryer drum is cracking at the seam. I have reviewed some other blogs and discovered that this problem is not uncommon. I spoke with an LG supervisor and they said they would not cover the repair because it is out of warranty (they only cover for one year). At any rate, this is a significant design flaw and LG needs to address it. Until then, I would not recommend this product. I believe a $1200.00 Dryer should last a lot longer than 2 years!
