Don't expect clean washing

published

The cycles run OK, BUT it is absolutely hopeless for linens, particularly whites, it leaves blotches of dirty lint, lint in the creases and causes a lot, lot more work.

Terrible terrible LG customer service, machine damages clothes.

published

Machine 1 year old and it damages clothes- stretches it and leaves lint on half load.

What is even more of a headache is the LG customer service (offshore) - the most terrible customer service i've ever received- inconsistent, lacks care, poor communication. Called over 12+ times, constantly following up before I am able to get a technician.

For a 7.5kg machine, i put 3 kgs (less than half a load) in and maximum water, they advised I am overloading machine and i need to use more water- what a joke for a 4 star water efficiency!



Their definition of "troubleshoot" is put clothing in bags and don't overload.

I have lost trust in the brand and quality of customer service. Never again LG. Life is not good!

Purchased in February 2021.

Random wash cycles and lint everywhere!

published

Have been unsatisfied with this product and the way it washes. Swishes from side to side, barely cleaning any of our clothes. Detergent left on clothing (even when we have triple checked amounts used). Lint on every wash regardless of tub clean or filter clean. Have tried everything to fix from our end and no luck. Customer service gives same advice but it's obviously just the machine. Family members with same machine have experienced this also. Waiting for it to die and then never buying an LG again!

Ugh I love it!

After pulling out my hair with our Simpson for years I finally decided to try this machine and haven't looked back since. It is super easy to use and oh so quiet.
I think our clothes are finally getting a decent wash too. LG have a customer for life if it keeps going the way it is.

Decent wash but with a downside

published

This washer does do a good job and clothes are cleaned well, but the big disadvantage for us living on tank water is that it weighs the load before it decides how much water to use. This means that any wet clothes that you might have had soaking, or very damp towels, make it use more water. It also means that you can't tip in buckets of water collected as the shower heats up. You can adjust it to a manual wash but I have to get the manual out every time to do this. Plus it makes you do a tub clean occasionally which uses water. I just wish it didn't decide water usage on its own.

LG WASHING MACHINE

published

This top loading machine is performing well and very quiet. It has many water levels and washing cycles to choose. The normal cycle is very long so I ussualy chose the quick wash. One problem with the machine is that the machine is very deep you have to make sure that you are comfortable to reach the cloths at the end before you buy the machine.

LG washing Machine

This washing machine is alright, quiet, and perfect for small family. It has a control panel which allows you to select your mode easily. Even for the water level, so you can save some water when required and when you are washing less clothes. Price is reasonable around 700 AUD.

Excellent

published

I love this machine. Especially that there is no agitator clothes don’t get tangled around the agitator because there is none! But it cleans everything really well love the turbo air drying it’s great in winter. Also love that there are no messy filters to clean and it lets me know when I am due to do a tub clean which takes a while so my advice is to let it do it over night or on a day your not going to be washing.

This is perfect!

This machine is not loud, and it does a good job cleaning my clothes. Drying is average. It is quiet and I forget that it is on. Which is not a problem because it turns off automatically after washes. The only down side is that it takes awhile to weigh the clothes

Ok. But not as good as the salesman made it out to be

published

This washing machine looks good and is very quit. Doesn’t jump around like my old one. Not having an agitator is fabulous for washing duvets however on some of the linger cycles certainly tangle the clothes eve though we were advised that this didn’t happen. Majority of the cycles are really long and the quick cycle whilst only just over half an hour only allows for a low water level limiting the items.

Clothes come out clean, well rinsed out. Never damaged any clothes. Has a gentle cycle and quick wash. Really great washing machine. I have always been happy with this machine. Never had any faults or problems. I like how you have so many choices to wash with as well as the glass top to look on whilst its cleaning.

Great machine.quiet, efficient, good clean wash, had it for quite a few months now.no problems. One thing not covered in manual -- the sign CL which means child lock.to open the lid again when lid locks you have to put finger on the rince button and hold it there for 3 seconds. Marvelous to know it locks if kids fiddle with buttons. Luv this machine.

Love it. Makes life so much easier.

published

Great machine that can do so much. I do shift work and sleep all hours, so this machine fits my lifestyle well. The washing builds up over the week until I have time. I can fit a weeks worth of uniforms, clothes and queen bed sheets with no problems. I find it washes & rinses well, it is quiet and doesn't take long for the clothes to dry on the line. I like the duvet cycle for when you do the mattress and overlay covers, along with the doonas. Ease to use, sort, add detergent and press start.

WTG7532WH (7.5kg)

Bought the machine in April 2016. Lint! Lint! On everything. Lint filter no don't one. Wash the clothes then go outside with a lint brush before bringing the clothes inside. Where does all the lint come from? Previous loads. As for service in Canberra act. One company only. One other Company want service call fee over the phone when you book. The other is sooooo busy can't service for at least another week. As for the LG Care centre, don't think the staff are in Australia. For future reference don't buy it unless it has a lint filter. LG products are good. Question - why no lint filter in this model?

Sounds like your filter at the bottom at the back of the machine. Suspect that could be full, in is further in the outlet pipe I think from memory. Needs cleaning that might solve it??

Hi Kristine, yes it does. Should be on the barrel on the inside on the side somewhere. Don’t know how to explain it sorry. But that where mine is. You have to like pop it open.

Hi, mine is a stainless steel inside but theres nothing else on the side. Just the drum.

no lint filter, hence I posted about dirty washing, impossible to get clean sheets, the lint sticks to the sheets and gets in the creasers, the sheets come out dirtier than when you put them in. Of course you can do a drum clean of two, which uses up 3+ hours of electricity, not good for reducing our carbon foot print. I asked about the lint filter at the time or purchase and was told the machine doesn't need it as it washes all the lint away, which is absolutely not true.
