Source-linkedVerify source — Best Buy review

Best Buy 1-star review by Lizzielizzy (title: "Already damaged"). Less than six months in, the door gasket was damaged and the washer leaked. Owner said LG refused warranty repair, leaving an ~$800 washer that would cost another $200+ to fix despite normal clothing loads.

Spider / drum assembly corrosion failure

Aluminum spinner / spider; outer drum assembly

18 months

$679

Source-linkedVerify source — Best Buy review

Best Buy 1-star review by GeeWhiz (title: "Broke @ 18 Months, Repair Costs More Than New One!"). Owner reported the aluminum spider corroded and broke at about 18 months. On this model the outer drum is cemented rather than bolted, so the fix requires replacing the assembly for about $679 plus shipping and tax in parts alone—more than replacing the washer.
