"I bet the spinning rinse is very effective with that huge force of water.
I wonder if it also does this during the wash? "
The Harmony does. Not quite that fast though.

When will people learn that you cannot wash everything on th
It looks like it was set for Hot/Cold, High Spin, and a Cotton/Normal Cycle.
It looks like it was set for Hot/Cold, High Spin, and a Cotton/Normal Cycle.
The guy on the video says he had a comforter and a few other things in there, but the instructions say to only was small loads (Like a comforter by itself.).
He should have used the “BULKY/BEDDING” Cycle.
This is right out of the manual:
Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle for items such as pillows, COMFORTERS and other articles which have difficultly absorbing water. ONLY WASH SMALL LOADS to make sure there is plenty of room for the load to move during washing. Keep like items together; DO NOT MIX large bulky items with SMALLER CLOTHING ITEMS. Failure to follow these instructions may result in DAMAGE to the clothing or to THE WASHER.

As for the error…
The real error was “USER ERROR,” but it sounds like the guy is blaming the machine for his own stupidity. What do you think?
The guy says the error is LE, but it looks like TE to me. So maybe it’s not his fault because he cannot read so he couldn’t read the manual. Maybe LG should offer a DVD w/ this washer. The thermister was probably jerked out of it’s socket. This is from the manual also:

Hmmm...
I don't know too many machines that will basically self distruct simply by selecting the incorrect cycle. If anything, the machine should be smart enough to detect a dangerous condition and either take corrective action or shut down and throw an error code.

I was just watching the video and all I can say is WOW! I couldnt imagine a washer self destructing like that and that was his 2nd LG washer that did that. It looks like the strut mounts are plastic in the machine. That could be one hell of a weak point...I know, I know...ya think! LOL..but seriously I wonder how many LG washers did this. What a mess.

Design Flaw
If it truly is a design flaw, look for a ton of the Kenmore Elite version to show up at the nearest Sears scratch and dent shop near you. LOL!

Damn, how fast does that thing spin? We've done some pretty unbalanced loads in our Harmony, and it has never done anything remotely approaching that.
I agree, a washer should NOT EXPLODE because you put a comforter in it on the wrong cycle. It should absolutely shut itself down before this can happen.
Oh my goodness!
Do you have to replace the washer after each comforter wash?
The entire machine fell apart!!!!!
I could understand one issue or one part failing. But the entire washer falling apart???
I read quite a few post on the internet of consumers complaining of how flimsy the outer "casing" was. Several people complained of dents from their knees hitting the machine while moving.
Wow.

If you continue watching his video series, you'll see the washer also "removed" the front panel of the dryer. The wash action is pretty cool, though. These cascading waterfalls will probably give you the cleanest outer tub ever - but DO use HE detergent!

User Error...I think not.
Damn...no washer should do that if your are washing normal everyday items like a comforter.
LG scares me and I wont even consider their merchandise anymore.
It seems they try to get away with making the cheapest product out there with no regard to quality or safety.

Glad there wasn’t a gas line close by and that no one was hu
If you store papers, or a pizza box from the previous night in the oven and someone turns on the oven without looking the next day. Then who’s at fault for the fire? The person that put the paper/cardboard in the oven. The person that turn on the oven without looking in it. The manufacturer of the oven because it allowed the user to turn on the oven without opening the door (Maybe the oven should have had a lockout that causes the oven not to turn on until the door is opened. If a washing machine cycle has completed and the lid has not been opened then some washer models will not let the user start another cycle until the lid is lifted.)
People that don’t follow directions make everything more expensive for us all. I’m sure LG will replace the washer and dryer and the consumer will end up paying for it in the end. I wonder what the guy did to destroy his last washer.
Washing a heavy coat in a Direct Drive Kenmore/Whirlpool washer can destroy the lid switch when the washer spins. The washer gets so out of balance (No unbalance sensor) then the tub jumps up and knocks the lid switch off of its mount and breaks it. I’ve know 2 people that had this happen. One on a high end Kenmore computer touch model and the other on a stackable compact Whirlpool unit. Neither was coved by the manufacturer.
People that don’t follow directions scare me. I know a few people like this and nothing is ever their fault. Does anyone know anyone else like this?

WOW......I just seen the store toy display....that was cool as hell, I asked the salesman if the real one worked like that.....and he directed me toward the real one hooked up.....
This is Cabrio meets Calypso........great wash action teamed with the waterfalls from 5 locations.......
this is what I have been waiting for, vigorous water action plus enough water to saturate, and suds/waterfall recirculation....I loved it!!!....I was thinking Speed Queen TL, but this may change my mind......only issue that may affect that would be how well built and how long it will last.........

Apparently until you wash a comforter on the normal cycle.

In the agitation phase of the wash or rinse cycle, does the basket itself oscilate or does the basket stay stationary and the impeller oscilate alone?
Regarding the self destructing Waveforce, in 50 years of obsessions with washing machines, I have never seen a machine bang itself apart. I've seen them walk and then eventually shut down on unbalance switch. MY LG front load won't even let it go into spin if it is not correcly balanced. How could that even happen?

Like GE Harmony
If the wash action is anything like the GE Harmony. And I believe it is similar but maybe a bit more aggressive. It will alternate phases of just impellar propulsion and the basket locking with the impellar and generating the 'wave force action'.
