washer tub light is A GOOD THING
by: Anonymous

Love this machine. And regarding the comments on the light...4 minutes on the dryer should be more than enough time to get clothes out. There is a reason the washer tub is not automatically lit when the door opens. You are supposed to leave the door open after using the machine so that the interior (especially the rubber gasket) dries, preventing the development of mold. Our former washer, a Maytag Neptune always had the light on when we left the door open. If someone closed the door to turn the light off, mold started appearing on the gasket...and if the door was left open per instructions, we had to replace the bulb constantly!

There is a button option for turning on the drum light. Read your user manual, or just read the fine print on the option buttons.

WE have this baby for 4 months
by: ardo

Hi guys
We purchased the combo (washer and dryer). This is our first front loader machine. We paid 2500$cdn including the underneath stands with an amazing drawer. LG quality is very good. The only complain I can make is with the 1300 rpm spin cycle, I can not see how this machine will survive years of service. We strictly follow the LG manual on how to use the machine, and we are very please to say, with "Tide with bleach" as recommended by "Consumersreports.org" the laundry is always very clean, as others mentionned it is also very gentle on the clothes. I paid with an American Express (Costco) credit card, adding an extra year of full warranty. My first choise was to buy the Miele kit (4800$) with ten years warrranty, but my son had very poor service from Miele on his dishwasher, taking over 2 weeks to get service (300$) and three months later the same problems again. He scrapped it (1850$) and bought a Bosch instead. His Miele laundry kit is over five years old and never any problems.

@the guy about the light
by: Anonymous

u r a complete moron!! is this really a reason to give it a 1 star rating?!?! because it lacks a light?
wow...
U BOUGHT A WASHING MACHINE, NOT A LIGHT!
u damn fool...we dont care about the lack of a light, we care about how the machine washes clothes. reliability of the machine.
Maybe you can take one star off the rating because of the light feature. 2 stars tops!!
and the entire rant of u bitchin' about the machine, u did not mention how the machine worked, how it functioned, how it cleaned ur clothes, nothing.
the most worthless and pathetic review i have ever read.
p.s: I kno this is not a review on the machine, it is a review on the this fool's review.

No light
by: JDM - Bristol, IN

Note to LG: Your energy effecient washer and dryer WM3875HWCA casues me to have to turn on the light in order to get the clothes out. Counterproductive to the energy savings that the unit prides itself on.
I have never owned a front load washer or dryer that did not have a fuctional drum light. Yes, this LG set does have drum lights, but you have to power them on and THEN fumble around to hit the right button. The dryer light stays on for 4 minutes and the you will have to power it back on and find the light button. There is a bunch of buttons on these items. It's a big pain. If I would have know this, I would not have purchsed them. The better half of 3,000.00 spent, and I have to turn on lights to get the clothes out.
Insanely poor engineering.
This is very simple:
OPEN THE DOOR, THE LIGHT GOES ON.
CLOSE THE DOOR, THE LIGHT GOES OFF.
That's how it is supposed to work. Try having someone actually use your products before you put them to market.
