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.

cjwebber says "Give It To Someone You Hate" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

cjwebber — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:13:38 GMT

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 liquid bleach container still had traces of bleach in it which came out in future loads. BE CAREFUL ABOUT USING BLEACH, YOU WILL RUIN THE CLOTHES IN THE NEXT LOAD. About a month ago the washer began smelling of mildew. I had never had a problem with that in all the time beforehand. It is a real problem, the gasket is sludgy, there is slime on the underside of the drum that I can't reach in...

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 or tear, I realized I was wrong.

The dryer has been repaired twice and sits now ready for a third repair. It's the same thing and I have been, again, errantly blaming the older kids for not cleaning the lint trap. However, after having freaked out twice about a $300+ repair bill for the dryer and sitting here now wondering whether it's even worth it to repair it again ... I am realizing that...

aggravatedinla says "Piece of crap - DON'T BUY LG ANYTHING!!!" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

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. ...

LGJason says "Wife loves it- but already had to repair it!" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

LGJason — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:55:10 GMT

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 troubles with their WM2487HRM or WM2487HWM machines leaking water mysteriously, try replacing the steam generator unit. You can see a picture of this part by googling 3111ER1001D (labeled ever so helpfully as the "Case Assembly"). Mine was leaking at the bottom seam between the plastic and metal -- remember that there is LIVE electricity in this area- do not touch while the unit is plugged......

electricrosegarden says "It is the worst model i have ever purchased" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

electricrosegarden — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:01:20 GMT

We purchased our washer and dryer from Home Depot with an extended warranty.

It is one year and a few months old and the pump is going! The extended warranty is absolutely a nightmare. The worst service ever! I will not get into it, but please think about another model and service. The inside of the door has some plastic rubber and the lint gets in their and get stinky. They suggest leaving the door open after each use? Plus they now have little tablets to put through a cycle without clothes to get rid of the horrible odor.

Just all around not good!

SEARS CANADA - EXCELLENT SERVICE and i would purchase the best now, regardless of price. This has been the worst experience.

janders says "Don't be fooled - poorest washer I've ever had!" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

janders — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:36:40 GMT

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 LG and the washer smells, doesn't drain well and I was told by LG its a common problem - their solution - I must leave washer door open after each use/ wipe out with bleach at least once a week and run an empty load wiht bleach solution . Teh three flange rubber gasket they have installed in all units to eliminate an earlier designs leak issues hold lint, pet and human hair and foster mold and mildew. Why am I washing my washer? Well I'm not - back to a top load (probably Speed Queen or Frigadaire) with fewer bells and whistles - less cost and less electronics to go awry. I don't need to drive my washer - just wash clothes!

The instructions...

EPB says "Excellent cleaning but could be more quiet. " about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

EPB — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 15:26:31 GMT

Does a very nice job cleaning. Started out very very quiet but progresively getting more noisy. Has more features than you need. Save a bunch of money and get a front load Energy Star unit with only the features you're going to use. ...

granvillea says "LG Tromm Front Load Washer is an outstanding Appliance design" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

granvillea — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:55:07 GMT

The LG Tromm WM2487HRM Front Loading Steam Washer is an outstanding example of modern appliance design. It is well thought out throughout and well designed and engineered. It is highly efficient in its use of water and detergent, has an unbelievable array of features and settings and appears capable of handling almost any kind of wash load, fabric or clothing.

It handles all clothing gently and yet cleans thoroughly, it includes a wide variety of options in load handling and cleaning modes but is so easy to use even a husband like me can use it. My wife has in the past frowned on my washing the clothes (imagine that) but with this washer she does not cringe when I approach it with a load of even her most delicate frillies.

We have probably not yet challenged the capacity or the capabilities of the washer and have probably only brushed the surface of its many features, but for every challenge we have thrown it it has come thorugh like a champ. The greasy clothes from the restaurant...

michelenatasha says "wonderful washer!" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

michelenatasha — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:37:19 GMT

I love my LG TROMM front load washer! It is everything a washer should be! It fits my whole bed set in at one time (thank goodness!), uses less soap (which is cheaper and better for my baby's skin), is energy efficient (yes!), has many cleaning options, get stains out great!, and is super reliable! My mom's front loader (that she paid more for) leaks water if she opens it after it's started washing but this one doesn't! This is silly but I really love the beep when a load is done, it's like a little angel song :). The only negative thing (with all front loaders) is that you have to leave the door open to keep the mildew smell away. That's kind of a pain (especially when I forget!) But other than that I can only sing praises!...

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.

Easy to use. No problems whatsoever. I can get at least 2x the clothes done per load than my last washer, not to mention our bedding fitting with no problem. I love the matching dryer equally!...

mommytotwingirls says "Best Washer EVER!" about LG TROMM Washer - Front Load

mommytotwingirls — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:38:55 GMT

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, since there's no agitator "beating them up"!...
