LG Washer
Smelly bad for your health

Terrible LG washing machine. I've had it for 4 years and about 2 years ago it started to smell mildewy. We live out in the country and on a water well system which is high in iron, so I thought it was that!!! I did read the manual and cleaned the filter and drained the water and on and on and on. When I called costumer service they only told me to do what I had already done. Again, kept thinking it was an isolated incident due to my water. They never suggested to get a tech to take a look at the problem, even though I had wasted more money on an extended warrenty>>>>

Then I went on the net and read all the 100s of stories posted by people which mirrored my situation. It is not my water, or anything I have done or didn't do. I leave the stupid door open all the time, my husband and I fight about that all the time as we all keep banging into it. I even take out the soap dispenser after each wash and clean the rubber. I have tried Tilex and Affresh and on and on, it still stinks..

I am sick of the way my clothes smell and the stinky washer. One interesting thing I also discovered was when I took out the soap dispenser while the wahser was running on the spin cycle and I took a look inside the rubber tube with a flash light, I found so much water sitting there that was not draining out!!! It was splashing around. Once the cycle was done, I took a long stick with a towle and when I took the towle out it was soaked and was black!!! I wonder where they tell you about that in the manuel??? Those of you who were unfotunate enough to buy this piece of &- should try this.

The company won't do anything. There are a few class action law suites in the United States against LG and others who have this faulty design. ANYONE KNOW OF ANY LAW SUITES IN CANADA??? OR HOW WE CAN START ONE??? What happened to mold and mildew being a health hazard??? My husband and younger son have sever allergies and this only adds to their misery.

If anyone knows what us Canadains can do about this please post it on this site. PLEASE>...
