MF so it is obviously a well known built in LG fault, I can assure you that no LG product will ever enter my house My daughter in law bought a new LG washing machine 12 months ago, 3 months later it dumped water all over the floor, she rang the repair man and he told her on the phone that she must have left a coin in a pocket and as soon as they go into spin mode the coin gets flung out and smashes a hole in the outer plastic drum. This is not covered by warranty as it is classed as operator error ( nothing to do with inadequate design) and the cost of replacing the drum was about the same cost as a new machine. 3 month old machine went to the tip. It is buyer beware with LG products
