LG WM2233H Front Load Washer Review

    I bought the LG washer after moving to my new house in July 2008. I had read reviews and blogs online about various front loaders. I have to admit I was a little nervous about spending a lot of money for a washing machine. So far I am pleased with my purchase but I have also learned a lot.

   You must clean the rubber seal in the washer every two to four weeks. I have also learned to check the rubber seal every time I wash. My husband left some nails in his pocket which ended up trapped in the rubber seal. This resulted in occluding the little holes in the front which led to a small trickle of water under the washer door. You should also clean your washer every two to three months on the sanitize mode with vinegar especially if you have hard water. Leave the washer door open overnight to dry the washer drum at least once a month to avoid odors. Wipe the inside bottom of the washer door so a film will not build up and create a small water leak. Remove and clean your filter every three months and make sure you seat the filter back correctly. I did not do this correctly once and ended up with water everywhere.

   Use HE laundry detergent only. I was also informed that you only need two tablespoons of detergent, fabric softener and bleach. If you use more than this you will acquire a soap build-up on your clothes. I learned these tid bits from an LG service technician when I did not seat my filter back correctly.

   In conclusion you will save money on water, detergent, liquid fabric softener and bleach. Read the manual and keep the washer clean and free of debris from items left in pockets. I would highly recommend this product.
