Front Loading Washing Machines

I have an LG and loff it.  However, there is something that I'm still trying to figure out.  Hair is found under the rubber insulation lining between the door and drum on the bottom, and when not cleaned out, leaves an odor.  The problem is how to clean that out better without tearing/ripping the rubber.

Water stays in the laundry soap dispensor and needs to be wiped or left open to dry.  We leave the door open, too, when finished.

Recommend getting the pedestals/platforms, if they don't include them, to raise the washer/dryer up.  Make sure to have enough clearance if they will reside under cabinets, like we have.

Help my company stay afloat, buy Whirlpool or Kenmore. They are made in the USA!

LG= not made in the USA. Copycat of Whirlpool's design.

That's kind of what my wife says as well.  And we got a really high end model I believe when we built the house (she picked the appliances after tons of research).

Plus, with the littlest guys clothes (2 year old) socks and such get lost in the small gap near the door and we have had to have a repairmen come out and adjust things because of it.

Other thing is that getting the water right with the soap is a big pain in the azz.  The repairmen gave all sorts of instructions/tips on what works best and it is like a frickin' puzzle.

We got an Asko 10 years ago.  Great washer a bit small.  I had to replace the brushes on the motor twice.  Yes a electric motor that had replaceable brushes. 

Wife wanted  a bigger drum this year.  We got a whirlpool and really like.  Proabably twice the capacity and goes well with our high capacity dryer.  She spends much less time in basement.  

We have the whirlpool Duet pair and LOVE them!  I love how quiet they are...and how much they hold (Very appreciated with a family of 6!).

We have only had them a year so can't comment on dependability - but so far no problems at all....

HA - Nice try!  Not even CLOSE to the most banal and boring post of the year!  Poor effort!  My Spidey-Sense tells me you don't spend much time in COJ!

I totally disagree with the notion that clothes don't get as clean - when my top loader broke (whirlpool) I got the Kenmore front loader (back in 1999 or 2000) it was good but broke and was not worth fixing.

I then got the larger capacity LG front load and gas dryer and adore both.  Have had them about 5 years  

We have the Samsung front loader... lots of bells/whistles... high temp wash... silvercare sanitation...

it does take longer for a wash... but everything seems perfectly clean... we are looking into getting the dryer to match...

as I never wash anything even in warm water, I had no idea why I would spend more than a grand on a washer to deliver "steam plus".  So,  I bought the wirlpool chepest small model for about $600 (duet sport).      It takes 81 minutes to wash, and anything that had a spot on it will keep that spot- so I guess I have to throw those cothes aw....

..  It is more like a clothing "freshener" than a real washer....   i am going to call sears and see if they will take this peice of crap away
