LG top load washer

UPDATE:

  • This case was dismissed March ane, 2021.

A class action lawsuit claims LG Electronics superlative-loading washing machines have defects that crusade the automobile to stop in the centre of a launder cycle due to an "imbalanced load."

Plaintiff Diana and Sherman Kroop claim they purchased an LG HE Summit-Load Ultra Capacity Washing Machine, with model number WT4870CW from a Florida Habitation Depot in 2013.

They claim they started experiencing the "imbalanced load" error on their washing car 1 year afterward purchasing the product. They also say that they contacted LG only were given the "proverbial runaround."

The Kroops say LG told them that they never heard of the problem and explained the "proper" style to load the washing automobile. However, the instructions they received from LG did non ready the error bulletin, nor correct the imbalance defects.

The plaintiffs had to resort to using a laundromat considering the defect became "unbearable" and incurred more $27 in laundromat expenses because they could non use their washing automobile, according to the LG class action lawsuit.

The Kroops also contacted Dwelling house Depot and were told to phone call Asurion, a warranty visitor, considering they bought an extended warranty when they purchased the washing motorcar. Asurion reimbursed the couple for their out-of-pocket expenses but told the Kroops the company could not do anything about the imbalanced load defect.

The couple claims that LG still has not fixed the imbalance load defect. In fact, the Kroops say that during the week the LG course action lawsuit was filed, the washing machine could non complete a load consisting of two king-sized sheets, 3 pillowcases and a few towels.

"Consumers have reported that one load of laundry could take upwards to five to 6 hours due to the washing machine stopping the wash in the middle of a cycle numerous times," the LG class action lawsuit alleges.

The class action lawsuit claims that LG has known most the "imbalanced load" defect since January 2012 when the company started receiving complaints from customers. In addition, LG issued a service message to its dealers in Feb 2013 but the bulletins were not issued to the public, co-ordinate to the plaintiffs.

Another service bulletin was distributed to dealers in February 2014 calculation other LG models that were affected by the imbalance defect. Once more, the message was allegedly not distributed to the public.

The Kroops say LG updated the software in the washing auto in December 2013 to alleviate the trouble, which would better identify the trouble. Now, consumers were told to rebalance the load in the machine, rather than the product going direct into the spin wheel.

"LG knew, or was reckless in knowing, at or before the time information technology sold the start unit of measurement that the LG Washing Machines contained the Imbalance Defect. LG had sole and exclusive possession of this knowledge," claims the LG class action lawsuit.
