LG TROMM Washer - Front Load Review Summary

"LG Tromm Front Load Washer is an outstanding appliance design." It doesn't just look good, as it's also "well-engineered," and "highly efficient in its use of water and detergent." This front-load washer "appears capable of handling almost any kind of wash load, fabric, or clothing." The features just don't seem to end, as it also can fit a whole bed set at once. Even husbands report in here that it's easy enough for them to use. The one negative is that the door has to be kept open when not in use to keep the mildew smell away. A few reviewers warn us to not be fooled, as it's the "poorest washer I've ever had." Also check out the LG TROMM Dryer.

Not only does this washing machine look fantastic, but it is amazing how clean it gets my clothes.  My whites are brighter and crisper.  My colors are more vivid.  Love the steamfresh for a quick refresher to clothes that just need to be freshened up.  There are plenty of available washing cyles,... review »

I hate to be the odd man out  here - but  the LF TROMM front load washer  has proven to be the worst  purchase I've ever made  for household appliances.   We purchased Washer/dryer combo with their over-priced pedestals and   the dryer has been trouble  since day 75 with no  support from...

We have owned an LG Front Loader Washer, WM2277HW, product for a few years now and have had problems with it that has been common to many owners of this washer.  When it started leaking from the bottom I was told many things by the manufacturer - I used the wrong detergent, overfilled the cup, blah, blah, blah.  First of all, I only use HE detergent and second of all there is a plastic indicator in the cup showing you the fill line.  Loooooooong story short, after having flooded floors for months and stinky clothes - oh, I guess I left out the worst part - the clothes came out smelling like...

LG TROMM Washer - Front Load (and accompanying LG Dryer) 

Purchased this expensive washing/drying duo and have had nothing but problems from the get go.  Smelly clothes have been something that I would routinely blame on not putting them in the dryer fast enough but even a wash from the evening started in the dryer the next morning shouldn't cause a smell like that!

Next, the washer eventually started leaking.  I thought perhaps one of the kids, we have three, messed with the front-end door but after reading review upon review upon review about a leaky front door seal with no apparent wear...

I purchased the red washer/dryer pair (WM2487HRM) in November 2006 for our new house.  It worked well for us, up until last week when we noticed a pool of water that had started under the machine.  Web searches show that this has been a common complaint on this model.  Most posts suggest that the front door seal is leaking, this however was not my problem.  I decided to take the machine apart in order to avoid a costly service call and discovered that the water was leaking- ever so slowly- from what looks like the "steam generator" at the top of the machine.

Therefore if other people are having...

My LG WM1814CW is ALMOST 4 years old and they want $300 to repair it......Drum stopped turning and flashed error code LE which ended up being a bad control board and sensor. DO NOT BUY!!! Have had problems since the 1st day.

I bought a LG washer 3 years ago and the exterior of the machine is rusting. Under the soap and bleach dispenser the the paint is bubbling, peeling and badly rusting. I have called LG numerous times and found they will not stand behind thier product when there is a defect. Before you buy LG washers remember I told you so.

I have had the w/d pair of LG Tromm for about 2 years.  The dryer is fine, but the washer is not.  The washer always cleaned well enough, that was never the problem, although the length of wash time, even on short wash,  and the amount of vibration was interesting.  The first easily noticable thing was how on opening the door after washing, clean clothes would fall out onto the floor.  I don't like FL just for that reason alone.  As well, bleach can be a real problem.  I wondered why some of my clothes were becoming bleach damaged when no bleach had been added to the wash, I realized the...

My husband and I bought the LG Tromm washer and dryer four years ago, after we became parents and I'm not a fan. Like others, I have had the smell problem and have to leave my door open after each wash load. I still have this problem after using HE soaps which are supposed alleviate the issue. I have a Bosch washer and dryer (that is 9 years old and made in Germany) in my guest house and they have become the machines I use most often. This Korean made crap is something I would NOT recommend, even to my worst enemy.

LG Tromm Front Loading Washer - DO NOT BUY THIS APPLIANCE OR ANY OTHER LG APPLIANCE!!!  We were suckered in by the Best Buys folks and bought the washer, dryer, fridge, and TV.  WE've had problems with ALL 4!!  The washer is horrible.  It wreaks of mildew and it leaks.  There is mold all over the seal, and no amount of bleach or manual cleaning gets rid of it.  it's a flawed design.  Same with the fridge.  LG IS CRAP!  RUN AWAY!  Don't listen to the sales people.  They are either getting kick backs or don't know what they're talking about.

I have had my Lg Tromm for 3 years now and I still love it. The only downside is that you have to leave the door open or it ends up smelling funky.

I've had my LG Tromm for about 3 1/2 years. I've had the motor replaced twice.  The 1st time it was under the manufacturers warrenty.  The second time it was handled under the extended warrenty that I purchased. The repairman told me that this was a problem that they were aware of, like a recall type thing.  Since having those replaced I have not had any problems.  I can put in a queen size comforter with no problem at all.  I love that I can put so much laundry in at one time and it always comes out clean!  With other washers I would always seem to overload them and the clothes would come... review »

We bought an LG TROMM washer and dryer 2 years ago.  We despise them.  Having had a Kenmore for 15+ years with no problems, the LG is a SAD, SAD, SAD comparison.  If you do not take your clothes out of the washer right away, they will smell and you have to wash them again.  This is because water builds up in the unit and turns stale fast. So if you do not do a tub clean with bleach frequently then the unit smells.  The dryer has paint chipping off on the inside rim of the door frame.  Ridiculous for something that is just barely 2 years old.My former Kenmore units looked brand new even though...

A year ago, we moved to a new state, and left all of our old appliances at our old house.  I was excited at the prospect of getting all new appliances, especially a front loading washing machine, in particular the LG Tromm Steam Washer.  I have twins, so laundry is my number 1 priority.  I was thrilled when it was delivered, and I immediately started doing laundry!  Not only am I saving on laundry detergent and water, but I'm also saving on time!  I feel good doing something good for my family and the environment at the same time, and our clothes just feel cleaner, and are lasting longer,... review »

I have owned this unit and the dryer for 3 years now. Only problem I have had is that the Gain HE soap was causing draining problems. When I first bought this I saw many complaints about smell but I have never had this happen. I could only think that it has something to do with the water. We bought this unit in hopes to help with our use of cloth diapers! It has work better than expected and can handle one hell of a load! There have been no repairs done to mine and still keeps ticking! LG has a consumer for LIFE with me!
