Okay today the second day of using the LG washer I notice where the water goes in thru the main wash area (you know where you add the detergent) that there is gathering some splattering of black spots that look like oil or ink. I know it is not coming from the water in my home because there were no problems of oil or ink in my old top loader washer.
I'm wondering if there is something the water is traveling over in this model that is flowing thru it's channels.
I hope it never make it to my clothes.

I also have an LG frontloading set. The installers told me specifically to run the washer on the hot cycle a couple times to clean out any residue that may have collected during production, processing, warehouse, shipping, etc. I was also told that everyone that gets a new washer should do the same just to be sure that there's nothing left in the hoses or pipes to get on clothing. I ran the sanitary cycle a couple times before I actually washed anything. I hope it works for you.

If you haven't already bought one, don't! I bought one of those expensive, newfangled, energy efficient (water stingy) Whirlpool sets. It was a nightmare. Moldy smelling , lint covered streaked up, wrinkled up clothes that you couldn't hang dry because it took the dryer to get all the lint off. Luckily, Lowes took them back. I did some research before I picked new ones. I got a G.E. Profile top load washer ( model # WPRB8050D) and dryer set.It was hundreds of dollars cheaper and it has almost as much load capacity as the other ones but it has an agitator and uses plenty of water. It has enough capacity to wash a king size comforter, even with an agitator. What I learned is, that it takes WATER to get your clothes clean! What you save on water on the others, you spend on higher priced high efficiency detergents anyway. I also learned that I like agitators.If you are considering getting a front loader or any of those water miser types, I suggest you put " moldy smell in front load washers" into your search engine. I love my washer and dryer. I'm eternally grateful to Lowes for bailing me out of this one. I can't imagine having to keep that set. I think I would have sold it in a yard sale. If it ever gets to where those HE sets are all you can buy, I'll have mine repaired till the day I die. Pick wisely. It's a pretty long term decision
