LG's are truly dread full. I urge everyone with one to email/get in touch with LG.
I hope NO ONE gets hurt in future.
I cannot believe how cheaply they are made, for how well they look on the outsides, I hope front loader ones aren't as bad, otherwise LG is truly ruining its high reputation.

The load is balled up in what looks like a sheet. The 2004 LG front loader I had would never allow itself to spin with an unbalance that extreme. Does anyone know what the balance sensing mechanism is like in these? Looks like they just need a lever to pop the timer dial out. Pitiful indeed.

Glad I never owned any of their cheap appliances.
Oddly enough, the only LG product that has been well built are their phones. [this post was last edited: 4/8/2012-19:53]

LG Products
The funny thing is that I just replaced my LG CP, and the thing lasted almost 5 years [ I kept thing that I was going to have to stop mean mouthing LG products ] Anyway when I upgraded to a new smart phone at the Sprint store they told me that I had only had the phone a little over two years as I had forgotten that it had to be replaced once. I guess I am just like all those MT owners that say that this machine was NEVER repaired and we haul them away and find several replaced parts in them. O well LOL.
Mean while I will keep my eye out for an LG TL washer so we can do a sight and sound video of it blowing up, maybe this would be good at Kevin's wash-in.

John, I was thinking the same thing! We need one for Kevin's (yard) to experiment with. Or maybe exploding washer-play on Jon's lawn at the Cape...
Seems to me it always seems to be the same thing..
I bet you this person washed bedding on the normal cycle. I see what looks like a blanket in the tub...
I still find it amazing that these machines can destroy themselves like this..
I wonder how many more youtube videos have to be made before they do a recall?

Television!
This guy needs to contact his local TV News and have them do another story about these machines.
I especially appreciate not only the self destruction, but trash the house too, why don't ya.
Shame they're such PRETTY machines.

Sounds like the owner has to do some talking to the dealer where he bought the washer from--this should be a warrantee-refund issue.And talk to his insurance company adjuster.Would think LG should be responsible for a replacement washer-possibly dryer if it no longer works from damage-and damage to the house.Won't buy LG machines no matter how pretty they look.Hope my new LG phone battery doesn't explode in my pocket!I may look into getting a diffrent brand of cellphone.Samsung seems to be pretty good.

This is very disturbing for at least three reasons.
One, could you imagine if someone was near the machine while it started to tear itself apart? Would you even want to go and pull the power? Two, that a machine would allow itself to self-destruct like that. Three, that LG could potentially blame the consumer for not choosing the proper cycle and therefore avoiding any responsibility or liability.
If that machine wasnt enclosed I cant imagine what it might have done.

Walls
Thanks goodness the dryer and the wall were there to stop it. It could have pulled the hoses off and flooded the house.

Easter Egg Landry Hunt
Yeah, you just gotta go collect it, that's what makes laundry day fun. OR.... fill it with easter eggs in the yard and invite the neighborhood children over later for a hunt.
Some banter that would surly follow...
"It was a terrible washer, but a wonderful random vector generator..."
"The LG Easter Egg placer is perfect for your family events: simply load, press start, stand back 500ft. and voila! The kids will never find all of these eggs."
(Also works with the soon to be ex-boyfriends possessions in one of the heart-breaking "on the lawn" scenes)
"I'm one sock and 2 pillow slips short... oh there it is [looking up at ceiling]... Anyone seen the cat?"
"It appears that we have been transported back to 1973..."

Exploding LGs
Malcolm and Tim you guys are too funny, Jason has me on the lookout for an LG TL washer that hasn't already exploded so we can do some basic research. OUTSIDE the shop.

To Combo52:
Good luck!
Personally, I'd like to see this happen:
Guy: "Uhmm... My washer blew up.. Please exchange."
Shop: "OK."
-A little while later-
Guy: "My washer blew up again. Please exchange."
Shop: "Uhmm... That's a little unusual... but OK.."
-A little while later-
Guy: "My washer blew up yet again. Please exchange."
Shop: "What the heck are you doing to blow up three washers?!?!"
-Shop watches guy blow up washer-
Shop: "Oh. Wow. Here, why don't we sell you on these nice new Speed Queens..."

I guess its going to be for the exploded washer-next step-LG washer vs KRUSHER!Can the owner select the type of krusher to be used?Lets see-Marathon Galaxy,Leach 2R,EZ Pack Goliath,Pak-Mor,ETC.
But it's not only LG

LG washer vs KRUSHER
I dont think it would take such a heavy duty krusher to do this one, I reckon a good solid kicking with steel toe cap boots will finish it off no problem plus it has already done most of the work already ;-)
I wonder if LG stands for "Low Grade"

Or lets take that blown up LG washer to the "range"Some target practice on it will reduce it to metal bits for recycling-what metal thats in it-rest plastic!At the quality of metal today--a .22 would easily shoot thru it!
Perhaps they should pack the machines with a trash bag, like x-mas trees!

Shame on Maytag
Im guessing whoever that guy spoke to was not someone high up the chain. This is what is great about the internet and modern technology. Word of this gets out immediately to a wide audience. This type of failure and lack of responsibility from the manufacturers is deplorable! They need to be held accountable.

LG is truly ruining its high reputation
I wasn't aware they ever had "high reputation" common saying over here is that they're expensive POS!

Just so you guys know I do have a sense of humor XD
Although this is not a toploader, this is such a great video! I found this months ago when I was researching new machines. Enjoy!

Question
Why is it that a lot of these machine's suspension systems are always hanging the machine tub from the top instead of just supporting from the bottom like on DD machines, Speed Queens, older Maytags, you get the idea.
