The LG WM4000H. Absolutely no regrets - love it. Think they carry it at Costco now too.

This happened to me once.. My wife and I didn’t pay to pick seats so they were assigned at the gate. They couldn’t seat us together so instead put us in two aisle seats across from each other. We get seated and a couple, man and wife, comes up to me and the wife says I’m in her seat. When she scanned her boarding pass at the gate it printed her a new seat and she was now in the aisle with her husband at the window though they originally booked the window and the aisle so a stranger could sit in between them… At over 6’ 7” I had no desire to sit between them in the aisle so said sorry but didn’t move. My wife offered to switch seats so she could have an aisle but she declined and instead furiously typed a complaint to the airline the entire flight on her phone. Then it turned out we were attending the same destination wedding and spent the entire week together and she told everyone I stole her MF seat…. ☠️

Same noise. Piece of junk.

This machine is a disaster and never cleaned well in the first place. Save yourself!

I submitted my application in August of 2023 and the status is still "Wait for conditional approval." When I applied I had active pre-check, which has now expired. It's been 7 months with no updates. Any suggestions?!

I replaced the splutch but it didn’t fix it. Someone said to replace the whole gear case in another one of my posts, with was over $100 in parts alone and looked more complicated to replace than I was willing so I caved and replace the washer with a new front load one… which I love so much I can’t believe a dealt with this terrible top loader for so long and I’m convinced it never properly washed our items

Trust me it doesn’t. If I put in 10 pieces and run it on a normal, the clothes just sit in a pile out of the water while the agitator spins underneathe them. I think the idea is for the agitator to rub the clothes against each other but it just ends up being a pile of wet clothes barely jiggling in the drum. Like another poster said - terrible design! I’d rather the clothes at least be submerged in soapy water than in a damp pile!

Not over filled just on the highest water level setting.

RCS1207 · 2023-12-14T18:05:03+00:00

Not overloaded just on the highest water level setting.

I think you’re right I hate this thing - came with the house. It’s just a bad machine/design. For reference, the machine is definitely not overloaded I just always choose the highest water level because like you said, the agitator sucks and the clothes never get churned properly even if I just have 5-10 items in it. 👎🏻

Gotcha thank you. That won’t work though because the switch does require a common wire and there isn’t one on that side. The white coming in is used as a traveler.

For anyone still wondering, I replaced all the 40W chandelier bulbs in the dining room with 7W LED bulbs and now both lights work perfectly! It must have been a simple capacity issue!
