    Don’t Buy an LG Washer!

    We purchased this washer in March 2023, so it is just over 2 years old. For the first 1 1/2 years, I was very happy with the washer because it was easy to use, had a lot of cycle choices, the finish was good, and laundry came out clean. However, beginning in fall 2024, things went downhill. First, the control panel had to be replaced because the Start button wasn’t working properly. This was repaired under the extended warranty. Second, the machine started leaving black and brown smudges on the washed laundry. LG blamed me for using too much detergent and fabric softener, but I haven’t changed the amount of product I use in years and I never had this problem with two previous HE washers. I have run the Clean Tub cycle about 13 times over the last 6 weeks, but the problem still happens constantly. Geek Squad has replaced the impeller plate and there was no evidence of detergent sludge that LG blames for these smudges. The tech found grease around the drive shaft under the impeller plate, cleaned it up, and put the machine back together. This fixed the problem for less than two weeks. Geek Squad has ordered a new basket (tub?) and it is due to be installed this week. In the meantime, nearly every load of laundry comes out with black smudges and I spend a lot of time scrubbing them out with Goo Gone and Dawn and hoping they will come out clean when I rewash them. At this point, I am very disappointed with this washer and with LG and wish Best Buy would just declare it a lemon and replace it under the extended warranty.

    • Brand response from LG Digital Customer Care
      Posted .

      Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience with the LG Washer (WT7900HWA) model. We understand your concern about dealing with ongoing issues, especially after having such a positive start with the unit. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customers' needs and expectations.

      The presence of black or brown smudges on laundry, especially after the impeller and drive shaft have already been addressed, can sometimes indicate residual grease or buildup deep within the wash tub system. In cases like this, replacing the inner tub (basket), as already scheduled, may be the right step forward, particularly if there’s seepage from the drive system. While the Clean Tub cycle helps with routine maintenance, this situation appears to go beyond that.

      We’d like to ensure your concerns are fully documented and reviewed from our side as well. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so we can connect directly, monitor the progress of your current service, and explore the next best steps with you, including speaking with our team about any further resolution options that may be available. ^Juvy LG

    Washer is wonderful, all the bells and whistles. Not sur if i will use every feature. The only reason im giving 4 stars is its so big. I am 5’2” and i have to stand on a stool to get my laundry out. As i cannot reach the bottom. Or my husband has to help me. I wish i would of gotten one size smaller for that reason. It washes bedding great!

    We put this washer in a beach house with the primary goal of washing lots of towels and sheets at the same time. It performs better than anticipated. The WIFI features are an added bonus because it pushes notifications to our phones whenever a cycle is done.

    Performance - Excellent Quality. Design- The designers could add some LED lights under the to door, and the control panel could be designed a bit better with LED backlight instead off operation indication.

    This set is very nice looking. It is large capacity and washes even better than the previous model I had. I would recommend this set on looks and performance. It is more costly than others but wull worth it in operation and performance.

    Still learning how to use all of the setting My wash comes out very clean. The spin cycle is extremely strong, which I now have to sort my clothes and wash on different cycles. However, the machine works very well

    This is one of the best fridge you can buy. It saves water, electricity, less maintenance and very quiet too. The Wi-Fi app was very useful and easy to use. It also has steam wash too.

    One month old…no problems. Great size for bedding and large loads. Like the speed wash as well. Deep tub can be a problem for us shorties…. Love the black steel color! Hopefully it’s life is as maintenance free as my Samsung front loader (11 years)!

    I love this new washer! It’s quick and can do my bedding. You don’t need to use the short wash as the normal cycle adjusts itself and ads or reduces the time needed.

    We replaced a LG front load washer we had from 2008 that was still working but we wanted more capacity and to move away from the crud that builds up on the door seal. The open middle with no agitator give us more capacity to wash bigger loads and the balance mechanism measures the weight of the load to not use too much water or time. Excellent for a family with two small children and a lot of weekend loads to wash.

    I switched to a top loader because the front loader was full of mildew and had a bad odor. I cleaned regularly and left the door open.
