A:Answer YES.... graphite steel. Finish and paint are bubbling and peeling directly under the detergent dispenser drawer. But thats ok, LG told me told me that even tho some have reported it, there is no service bulletin for it and therefore, if it happens after 1 yr, you have to live with it! Purchased in Oct 2022. HOW CAN LG design a product coating that peels when exposed to moisture and chemicals in the exact area where those things are SUPPOSED to be present. The smaller spot on the right is rusting. I never even use bleach! Oxiwash in the drum only!
