LG WM1832CW washer

by Roger
(Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)

This washing machine has been great till now.


Not sure what happened, but the motor stopped agitating and spinning yesterday. The machine is only 6 years old.
Should have gotten many more years out of it.

I ran tests "used the online service manual to do this". Guessing it is either the stator, or the main circuit board.

At this point do I just purchase a new machine with new warranty, and peace of mind or do I get this one repaired? Parts will likely be costly, and if I am dishing out even 1/2 the cost of purchasing a new machine to repair it, I might be better off replacing it all together.

LG again?
That is the direction I am heading in.
Will make inquiries first, re: warranty...

Pros
- was great till it stopped working

Cons
- it stopped working

Deception machine
by: Anonymous

L G 1832 CW machine new in 2000 with extended service contract and was a regular feature for our Sears repairman. It never added enough water to clean work clothes or bed sheets service man assured us it was up to spec. even though he would spend hours watching it running its cycles with some clothes never getting wet. Last year we replaced the drum bearings and seals and at the same time adjusted the water fill level which was a great improvement. Now the motor does not run..... so am considering replacing with a different make. Had two English Electric front loaders before which lasted 20 years each and with good cleaning and little maintenance. As in an earlier comment LG have no interest in their product once it is sold.

LG BLAME ANYONE BUT OUR PRODUCT
by: Anonymous

It was my first purchase of a front loader, so I thought I would by the Mid priced LG Black Steam Washer. I also purchased the extended warranty.

After 18 months while under warranty, I opened the door to hang the washing out and all I got was shards to plastic. LG said not there problem because they say I washed joggers in it (NEVER)

$1867.00 to repair. NO WARRANTY NO REFUND OF EXTENDED WARRANTY.

DO YOURSELD A FAVOUR AND BY A MEILE ALL METAL
NOT PLASTIC JUNK

LG SHOULD HOLD THERE HEAD IN SHAME NO SUPPORT WHAT SO EVER

LIFES NOT GOOD IF YOU BUY LG LIFES GROSE

absolutely dissapointed
by: Anonymous

Our LG is only three years old, it basically self destructed last week. It started getting louder and within about ten minutes made an ongodly sound. When I entered the laundry room there was water pouring everywhere. I waited a week for someone to finally look at it where I found out (after paying $100 for the visit) that at least one of the arms supporting the tub was broken as well as the front tub gasket. Bill for repair estimated at over $600. What an absolute piece of crap - I will never buy another LG product

Poor Quality
by: Anonymous

Stopped working after 6 years. Contacted LG support twice. Their response was that it was normal for a washing machine to last just over 6 years. Won't buy another LG product of any kind.

Only if it would start!
by: Kamloops

I never bought a machine that lasted only 5 years and a few months. I bought this machine washing in 2005 and 3 weeks ago it died on me.
It would not start. The technician replaced the main board and another board on March 21/11. Did a few loads and the spinning cycle was very noisy and tried to to another load and it would not start again. I loved this machine until now.
Only if it would work!

I would not recommend an LG.

LG washers
by: RK

This is a worthless piece of machine. I had also bought it 6 yrs ago. Fortunately, I got the extended warranty from best buy. The sevicement had come twice, replaced the circuit board once and di repair to the power knob another time. don 't buy LG products. go for American machines.
