My daughter-in-law has a LG front loader and the door has developed a leak so has to clean up water every time. Also has an LG 3door frig with ice-maker-compresser died 2 weeks after warranty was over--ice maker now won't quit making ice cubes so freezer is full of ice all the time. She will never buy LG again. I just got a Maytag toploader that has to use the HE soap--takes forever to do a load with all the sensing and pauses but do like the dryness of the load.
