Re: LG Washing Machines Gather Mold: Suit

[Guest guest]

Thanks, for the info. I have a Sears front loader. I had heard about this

before and contacted Sears about it. They said my model is fine. I've had it for

yrs. and never had a problem but I'll certainly will keep an eye on it. I

also have it serviced every spring.

A proposed class action [law suit] has been filed against LG Electronics USA

Inc. alleging the company failed to tell consumers that its front-loading

washing machines develop mold and mildew.

Click on those words, and type: " LG Washing Machines " in that field. Then click

on the word " Go " next to that field. It will take you to the story. To read

more than the brief abstract requires " registering " for a free 7 day trial

subscription, which requires making up your company's name, if you don't really

have a company. It's a fascinating legal web site that is worth registering

on.

Oh wow Joe! I have been meaning to post about my

washing machine! I had a repair man to come and fix

my pump on my washing maching not to long ago. When he

opened it up, I could see black in the tub at the top!

I asked him what in the heck was it. He said they all

get " that " and it did not get on the laundry! I asked

how could I get it out and remove it as it was inside

that tub part that holds the main tub. He said it

could not be removed but it was OK. After he left, I

poured a gallon of ammonia in and detergent and let it

wash and then poured a gallon of vinegar in and let it

wash, all in hot water. My husband has very greasy

clothes so I am hoping it was just grease but this

concerns me much. What in the world could it be..do

you all think it could be mold???? If the repair main

is right about they all get " this " then we all have

mold or black stuff in our washing machines! Because

one can't get to this matter, I have no idea what it

is.

I'm not familiar with the LG machines other than the very

impressive and humorous advertising I recently saw on the big

screen in Times Square. I had a top loader get smelly years ago.

I found detergent, grease, hair, lint and whatever else is in dirty

laundry collected between the agitator tub and the container tub

around it, especially near the ends of the agitator shaft.

There is a simple prevention to most mold and BACTERIA

growth problems (although LG may be different):

Leave the washing machine lid open after using so

everything dries out faster than mold and BACTERIA can

grow. If drying doesn't prevent it (after 15 years for my old

machine) it will at least dramatically delay problems.
