LG Series 9 Front Load Washer Dryer Combo (WVC9-1412)

bearing busted after 6 years. Got OK use out of it but would have hoped for at least 10 years for something $1000+ Replaced with Bosch and appears to dry better. Will see if it lasts longer.

Worst experience ever. Ongoing issues for 6 months been without a washing machine/dryer. Was still under warranty when all issues started. The worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life and I have brought many products before. Never again from LG!! Would like someone to call me back and take me seriously for a review and full refund immediately. It is now 12 September 2025 and still no responses from LG!! Show details

WASHER/DRYER that doesn't wash, drain, scorches clothes and floods the laundry. ANY TAKERS FOR $1400?? – This has been the worst washer/dryer we have purchased in the last 30 years. Retailer and purchase process was smooth until money was taken and the unit was delivered. We immediately noticed the detergent dispenser did not empty, and after a wash cycle it was still full of water. On next use, we need to constantly pull out the drawer, empty,… Read more

and refill. It is a constant mould, hygiene and health risk. We have owned LG front loaders for 20 years, and this was never an issue, but apparently it is now a normal manufacturing design of latest models.

It does not wash well, and sometimes parts of some clothing are still contact dry (not wet) after a full cycle. My $399 LG top loader from 1998 washed better than this model. Also, filter is constantly clogged (too small?) requiring cleaning sometimes after each use.

Worst part, the front door intermittent leaks anywhere from 50 ml puddle of water, to half the laundry being under a puddle. Thankfully, we have a floor waste which prevents large flooding, but when the washer is running, we need to check for floor puddles before entering or placing anything on the floor.

Retailer was contacted within 3 months of above issues. We were deferred to LG as it was still under warranty. LG was contacted, and after a relay of emails, photos, videos, other correspondence of the above faults, no service call was offered without charging us (the customer). We are still awaiting after 12 months, for LG to honour their warranty, for this washer/dryer which was faulty from the moment it left their factory.

So, $1400 PRETTY LOOKING LEMON, which barely washes, leaks and floods my floor, burns clothes on all its dry cycle.

LG so far has not provided a service call to assess the above defects, unless there is a manufacturing cause for their defects.. I am still waiting, after 12 months.

HMMM,,, DEAR LG,,, if a non-washing, cloth-scorching, leaking and non-draining washer/dryer is not defective (ie part of your quality controlled, intended design), THEN WHAT IS??

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MACHINE. A WATER-FILLED ESKIE WITH A LID WILL DO A BETTER JOB!

Very pleasantly surprised! – I was highly sceptical about buying a washer-dryer combo as I’ve never heard a good word spoken about them, but I have to admit I am impressed. I have a young family, so my 10+ year old Electrolux appliances took an absolute flogging. When the dryer finally gave up on me I decided to look at a combo due to the space saving, and I liked the idea of… Read more

an all in one since it was not uncommon for wet clothes to be left sad and abandoned in the washer because I’d gone to bed and forgotten to put them in the dryer.. #mumlife I read all the awful reviews and decided to roll the dice anyway, but fully expecting it to be a dud. About a dozen loads in, everything from linen to delicates has come out dry, undamaged and looking cleaner than ever. I will say this.. read the manual.. take 15 mins and learn how to use it. Sort your clothes and adjust the settings where necessary. This machine has a lot of adjustable settings and options, but when used correctly, it works like a dream. If you want to stuff everything in and just roll the dice on a preset, then don’t be surprised if it doesn’t come out the way you wanted. Size is ample (12/8kg). I can wash a king doona cover, sheet and pillow cases in one go, no issue, could probably fit a bit more.. comes out perfectly dry. Cycle took about 4hrs.. sounds like a long time but that’s not much longer than it was taking in my old machines and I didn’t have to touch it. Normal size load of clothes, tshirts, kids clothes etc takes about 3hrs to wash and dry. I mostly dry clothes on the delicates setting, so it takes a bit longer, but nothing has shrunk. For the most part I barely hear it running. There’s a bit of vibration when it’s spinning hard or if the load is unbalanced and flopping about, but still much quieter than my old machines. I haven’t used all the functions like the refresh or quick wash, and the app is a bit of a gimmick, but the remote start is handy for having your washing ready when you walk in the door. Early days, so fingers crossed I don’t have to walk this back in 12 months time.. but so far, I’m very, very happy with it.
