I avoid any LG product ever since I had purchased a Kenmore Elite frig that
was made for them by LG. Interior latches broke because the springs were to
stiff. Roller wheels shafts broke from their mountings. The last straw was
when the interior light didn't shut off when the door was closed, got so hot
that the plastic bezel and lamp mounted deformed and melted. Oh and they had
to send me money every year because them fibbed about its energy usage.
I have replaced it with a Samsung which hopefully, is be better engineered
than the LG, but only time will tell.

Well the new LG washer ate its drain pump. Lasted a couple years max. Of
course it probably did 5 million loads of Laundry during that time. I
wonder if it has a load counter on it.
LG has only one warehouse and its in AL. So we are without a washer until
next week. Kind of unbelievable given they sell the machines at Home Depot.
I should have just bought a pump on amazon prime.

room in the house ;)
Frankly I expected it to, as you say, fuse into a solid block but after 7
or 8 years (closer to 8 I think) its still fine.

Exactly. It’s cheap and does the job, and I don’t have to mess with
storing a big tub of it. Around here there’s a good chance it would
solidify into a giant block if not tightly sealed due to the humidity.

A
couple hours later it’s done and the insides are now lemony fresh!
