Washers, clothes washers battle

drobertson · January 30, 2017, 11:26:59 AM

Well bout 8 years ago after our old reliable gave up we got the duets with tax return money, thinking it was 1300 or better for the pair, well now the f11 code is showing up intermittently communication error code, well laundry room is tight quarters, my flexibility even tighter these days, got to the trouble shooting tech sheet ran the the two diagnostic test and they ran intermittent, I reckon the fellow from NH on you tube is my last resort unless any of you folks have dealt with this before, replacement part is around 300 bucks, x 2 maybe ecu and the MCU sure wish they made the old style timers on new machines,

Let me just jump in here to say how much I HATE my LG washer.

21incher · January 30, 2017, 01:57:04 PM

I was a part of that thread. Just want to make my displeasure known whenever possible about my LG washer and Englander wood stove in hopes I can save someone else from making the same mistakes.

Kbeitz · January 30, 2017, 06:06:30 PM

Wow... Google says there is 677,427 reviews of dislike on LG
washers. Ouch...

coxy · January 30, 2017, 07:30:45 PM

sawguy21 · January 30, 2017, 07:39:38 PM

She hears that she will be using that wash board on you. :D We had two LG flat screen tv's in six weeks, finally spent the extra dollars for a Samsung. The dealer told us they had cancelled further orders for that model because of all the problems.

Why does an appliance need a computer/ecu?

Don P · January 31, 2017, 12:00:23 AM

To more accurately time the self destruct sequence to the warranty.

Peter Drouin · January 31, 2017, 05:40:34 AM

So what is an LG

I think it stands for lawn & Garden ornament.... That's all there good for.

Don P · January 31, 2017, 06:37:30 AM

:D Lucky-Goldstar a South Korean electronics co, they bought Zenith I think. They make appliances, they don't work worth a flip, but they have pretty plastic figured out.

drobertson · January 31, 2017, 07:57:15 AM

I agree with the pre determined self destruct mode, found out had it happened in Oct I would beable to join a class action that was available three makes were in this suit, LG is one of them, Whirlpool and another, bottom line I like the old school mech timers, they worked

paul case · January 31, 2017, 08:17:35 AM

Buy a Maytag. They are the dependability people. ;D

Unless you just like dong the washer/dryer changeout. I wondered why some brands dont put handles built in to the machines with as much as you have to move them in and out. Moving the washer outside for a working on while it is full of water is my pet peeve.

A garden hose will siphon it out.

Which reminds me of a story about a guy that didn't know that you could siphon water. He thought that gas was the only thing that would siphon. True story!

mburrow · January 31, 2017, 09:20:20 AM

Matag is owned by whirlpoolcorp

terrifictimbersllc · January 31, 2017, 09:30:39 AM

If you think LG is bad try Kenmore Calypso. >:( >:( >:(

Raider Bill · January 31, 2017, 09:48:28 AM

Mine is buried by the dryer with both on top of a pedestal and blocked by a shower stall so in order to get the washer out dryer has to go first. It's a wrestling match.
Next time which will be soon I'm going back to a top load with a crank control and no electronics.

Maybe I'll take Roxie shopping with me. ;)

coxy · January 31, 2017, 12:31:33 PM

I'm with you on the top load some people don't understand when I tell them I don't care if it uses 200gal of water a load its free to me

drobertson · January 31, 2017, 12:57:06 PM

Glad it is working again. My wife always does the sheets, blankets, and towels next. ;D ;D ;D

drobertson · January 31, 2017, 01:52:14 PM

Its running, oh here goes the spin cycle now, I believe its a slight wear factor due to vibrations during the spin on the plug connection, time will tell shortly, it made it through the first spin, 7 min past the last point of failure,
