LG WTG1034WF (White)

Terrible terrible machine! I can’t reach the clothes for starters the drum is so deep, I should have checked before I purchased it. Didn’t think that a big brand like LG would be so ergonomically challenged. It can not wash more than 2 towels and a sheet on the biggest load! I got a big machine because I need it. Error codes daily, when it’s out… Read more

of balance it continues to go through the rinse cycle like it will do it all day if your not home, wasting so much water. Do not buy this machine. My Electrolux 7kg front loader ran rings around this hunk of junk. LG should be recalling them and reimbursing people who bought them. Unfortunately I will never buy anything LG again.

Very disappointed with this machine I’ve had it for a few years now just waiting for it to die so I can justify spending the money on a new one. The water auto sensor doesn’t work You have to manually set each load because it doesn’t use hardly any water or way too much, the sensor for overbalancing doesn’t work instead of stopping it will… Read more

continue to keep going and walk itself across the floor. It twists up clothes and sheets and wash quality is not great lots of lint. There is no lint filter that you can remove lint. It’s underneath the machine and you have to tip it up and do major Work to do any lint removal. I had the earlier model of this type of machine and was so happy with it. It lasted 12 years and the only reason we got rid of it was because we had a mouse get into the electrics. I thought it was a safe bet to buy another one, big mistake. Had a technician out under warranty. The technician agreed with me that the auto-sensing didn’t work when he submitted this to LG they denied it and wouldn't do anything about it under warranty. Went through Harvey Norman they tried very hard to help us with it but got no cooperation from LG .So much time wasted with their warranty team arguing the point showing them pictures and videos we just gave up. The wash times are incredibly long for a top loader. You cannot just do a rinse only, you have to go through a whole program, when you lean over it to adjust the wash you wipe out the program that was on and you have to start all over again, poorly designed and not a very good recommendation LG considering all the other products I’ve had of theirs have been great.

Puts mould all over washing, 7 months old. Was told by LG i need to do a tub clean every 2 to 3 weeks. 9 hour tub cleaning lol VOIDED WARRANTY. Told me I have neglected the machine. They said that the fabric softener builds up with the washing liquid. I told her I use vinegar as fabric softener she said the acid in the vinegar would have the same effect lol. Show details

This LG Has No FEAR – It has been used every day for 3 years + This washing machine is nothing short of the "God of War" in the realm of laundry appliances. Much like the fierce deity from ancient mythology, it embodies power, strength, and unyielding performance. From the moment you engage its cycles, you can sense its relentless determination to conquer dirt and… Read more ·  1

grime. With each revolution, it unleashes a torrent of cleaning prowess that rivals the mightiest of warriors. Stains tremble in its presence as it effortlessly obliterates them with the precision of a battle-hardened warrior.

But it's not just about brute force – this machine possesses a strategic intelligence akin to the gods themselves. With a plethora of wash settings and options, it tailors its approach to suit the unique demands of every garment, ensuring that each item emerges victorious and unscathed from the cleansing battlefield.

Much like the divine beings of legend, this washing machine commands respect and awe with its awe-inspiring presence. Its sleek and imposing design dominates the laundry room, exuding an aura of majesty and authority.

In conclusion, this washing machine is a true titan among appliances, embodying the ferocity and prowess of the mythical God of War. If you seek a laundry companion that will vanquish stains with unmatched might and precision, look no further – for "i" have found my champion.

A very good washing machine – It has about every cycle that you can think off, from sports wear/heavy duty all the way to light duty (hand wash) the only thing that we don,t like is the depth of the inside of the washing machine. from the top to the bottom, it is 600 mm (60 cm) or 24 inchers, to reach for your clothes, just set and forget, it is as easy as that. And it locks the lid (child proof) when it starts. L.G WTG1034WF

Good machine so far – Purchased this machine after our Beko front loader died (i do not recommend that brand at all). We wanted a top loader with no agitator and this has good water and power ratings plus it was on sale. I have only done a few loads in it so far and nothing really large. The drum is massive and would be hard for a shorter person to get clothes from… Read more ·  1

the bottom of it, i am 5'7. The machine is quite noisy i think but as it is downstairs this isn't a major issue for us. It seems to give a good clean and i am loving it so far. I did read people had issues with lint but so far we haven't. My sister has an LG front loader and has had it for over 10 years and it still works fine so am hopeful we will get at least that long from this as i have found the brand to be very reliable.

Terrible washing machine! – I would give zero stars if I could. We purchased the first of these machines back in 2022 from Harvey Norman. The first made a lot of noise the first time we used it. We were told at first that that was normal but having had LG machines in the past we knew it was not normal. We then had to have a technician come out to evaluate who confirmed that… Read more

there was a fault with these machines! We were then offered a replacement by Harvey Norman of the same machine. The second machine has had noise issues, doesn't fill with water properly, has problems on the spin cycle, doesn't balance properly with a heavy load and has had circuit issues. My partner has had to do repairs himself a few times and we have had to buy parts to make repairs already to a machine less than two years old. Stay away from this machine!

Absolute garbage. I will never buy an LG product again – After a year of owning this machine I have decided to buy a new Fisher & Pykel. I wish I read all these reviews before buying the LG. This is by far the worst washing machine I’ve ever owned. The machine walks around my laundry while spinning, at least until the hoses reach their limit. If it doesn’t go for a walk, it will stop spinning and show… Read more

an error. Constantly have to re-arrange clothes to try and get it to spin. Constantly banging. You cannot leave this machine to complete a wash cycle on its own. Never finishes without some kind of error and needing a reset. Whether it’s a spin error or water level error. Anyone under 6 feet tall can’t reach the bottom of the tub. I wont bother with a technician. It will just be all lies anyway. I will cut my losses with this piece of rubbish and never touch an LG product of any kind again.

DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE – I should have looked at reviews before purchasing this machine. The water doesn't fill to the correct level, thus prompting the E1 error. Doesn't balance large loads properly and walks away while still continuing to spin. Clothes are still dirty and I find there is laundry powder still left on clothes. Struggles blankets and will come up with E1… Read more

error. Washing times are too long, thus you have to manually put in a shorter cycle. When taking out clothes or adjusting the unbalanced load, you have to lean over the touch panel ( because of deep washing barrel) and you will rest or turn it off with your torso or breasts. I did realise that the barrel is really deep and smaller people like myself need a step to reach into the bottom of the barrel, that I can compromise on. What a waste of money and time, I am really disappointed that a long standing company can produce such a crappy piece of machinery, especially when you are a leader in such technologies. Well not any more I guess. These machines need to be recalled and replaced.

BUYER BEWARE DON'T BUY – Bought this lg 10kg washing machine in may 2023 from Harvey Norman not what we wanted the sales person must of been a used car sales guy as we had samsung and at the time we had issues with dented ones from the store and in the end they only had thus one it's noisy doesn't clean clothes, clothes are always smelly I'm 6 foot tall and still can't… Read more

reach the bottom of the machine spoke to Harvey Norman 1st 2024 to send out an technician after seeing all the reviews I doubt anything can be done

Worst machine ever, will never buy LG again! – Gees where do I start? It has taken me a year to get to the point of writing a bad review, the issues ket mounting up. Now I’m laughing (crying) reading everyone else’s they have all the same problems! Glad it is not just me! Clothes don’t wash properly, started using fabric softener to make them smell better and half the time the dispensor fills… Read more

with water after a wash so the fabric softener drains into the tub. If you are short you need to dive in to get clothes out or use tongs! Leaning over the front of the machine your chest will change the settings, I even child locked it with my breasts once! Cannot do a load of towels without becoming unbalanced and walking halfway across the laundry. Or it fills with water again to try and rebalance only to not succeed and repeat. Honestly the water this thing wastes! You have to turn water off at tap to do a spin only. Takes forever to fill! Auto water level is useless, always under guesses and tries to wash your clothes in no water. Because I now have to use fabric softener when I never have in my life, machine is getting dirty under lid and around drum. I cannot clean the surrounds properly. What a piece of junk, can’t wait to buy a new one. I’ll just write off the $1000 I paid for it. Only purchased it because the Fisher and Paykel I wanted was going to take 2 months to come in. I should have waited.

Don’t Buy It!!!! – Purchased this one month ago for elderly lady. Has not worked properly stops mid cycle at times. Have to re-set it. Clothes come out dirty still doesn’t clean them. Called store and nothing they could do except send technician fro LG to test machine which advised if they found nothing wrong with it would have to pay a fee of a few hundred dollars.… Read more

That’s a lot of money for pensioners. Advised to take photo and video but I’d still need technician to come out. Just wasting customer time and going in circles. Not worth being loyal customer these days. Expected better quality from a well known expensive brand. Don’t recommend purchase.

Very disappointed – After owning fisher and paykel washers for years with zero issues we decided to upgrade to LG. Big mistake. This machine does not have auto sensor water filling?!?! You have to basically guess and hope for the best. The cycle length is ridiculous. Over an hour for a few items?? The depth of the drum is not user friendly at all!! I need a step to get to the bottom. Show details

Worst LG machine ever – My previous 10kg lg washer was awesome, loved how you could soak items, there's no cycle for soaking, each cycle literally takes hours and the machine is not full of water, it will say 10 mins to go but its more like 45mins!! the bowl is so deep compared to my last washer, I have to stand on the side of the machine and stand on my tippy toes to… Read more

be able to get clothing out. Why did lg change the cycle's?? I will never buy lg washer again, we only bought this one because my last one was great, i had it for around 7-8 years and it died!!

**Absolute Junk** Do Not Buy, especially from Harvey Norman! – We purchased this piece of junk from Harvey Norman Airlie Beach in June 2022. Unfortunately my partner didn't read the reviews about this machine on Product Review, which is my god send for avoiding buying lemons like this washing machine has turned out to be. We started seeing issues with the machine within weeks of owning it. It doesn't fill… Read more

up with water, so we have to use a hose to manually fill it. It doesn't wash your clothes clean and the cycles are way too long. The bowl is so deep that it's very difficult to reach to the bottom of the bowl to get the clothes out, and we are tallish people. You have to lean to the side of the machine and not the front, so you don't accidentally touch the front panel and set off all the buttons. Now the touch pad screen isn't working at all, we can't turn the machine on, zilch, nothing!! Dead as a dodo.

We rang Harvey Norman and they said they will send out a technician, we are still waiting and with only days left to Christmas and all our family coming to visit we have to now borrow a washing machine from our son! Who said, I told you to buy the Fisher and Paykel machine mum ....sometimes we need to listen to our kids more! We paid $1200 for this piece of junk, I won't be giving up until Harvey Norman fix it or give us our money back. LG what were you thinking when you made this machine, you need to remove this piece of junk from the market and go back to the drawing board so you're not inconveniencing so many people, do the right thing by us good people.

Stay clear – This washer is the worst I have ever owned. Continuously knocks and bangs with a light load and is a total reject. LG tech was sent and he advised not to wash any towels. The machine is always out of balance even after rearranging the washing. I had a previous LG 10kg and it did not miss a beat. Totally frustrated with this piece of junk. Show details

$1000's DOWN THE DRAIN – We bought the LG Washing Machine in 2019, as our old Hoover Washing machine had broken down after 16 years of service. We were told that LG is a good brand for washing machines and that it was good for a growing family, so we paid our money and had it delivered. We had no problems with the washes and all was going well, until March this year… Read more

(just 2 years and 5 months on) the START button stopped working. I got our Service Guy to come in and take a look, he said it was the electronics and so he ordered the part (or so he thought) and when he installed it, the part was faulty. It had taken two weeks to come in and now we were in for another wait. So I emailed LG Customer Care and they wanted an assessment done on it; our Service Guy did it, but then LG said they wanted one of their people to do it; so we had to organise for one of their people to come in and the technician said the same thing. Once he brought the parts (he had two, stating that they have parts similar to another model and he wasn't sure which one would work); it didn't matter because both parts didn't work. However, he made some adjustments with the buttons on our original part (allowing for the START button to work, but not the Time Delay) and we were somewhat happier, as we had a machine we could use.

Now, five months later, we're back to where we were: a machine with a START button that doesn't work - so that's a $1052 almost 3 year old machine, sitting in our laundry, while we have to use a laundromat to wash our clothes. Upon contacting LG Customer Care, they have done very little to attempt to remedy the situation other than making sure that they know that I am inconvenienced and they are sorry.

The machine has a 10 year warranty on the motor - what good is a running motor if the rest of the machine won't work? We've gone from a machine that lasted 16 years to one that couldn't even get to 3 years - talk about your throw-away society! We're very disappointed and will not buy LG again.

BUYER BEWARE - LG1034WF 10kg Washer – I love LG products; in fact I recommend them to my friends, and I have a number of them in my home. Last week (24/08/2022), I took delivery of a 10kg Top Loader (LG1034WF) to replace a 12 year old LG Front Loader that was still working beautifully. The reasoning was to enable the 4 guys who use the machine to have a larger machine, with a bit more… Read more

grunt, and the ability to add clothes through the wash cycle, if need be. I noticed that the outlet hose was a larger diameter than regular outlet hoses so it cannot be attached directly to the u-pipe under the laundry unit. Problem number one. The next morning came a 'test load' of laundry. The outlet hose was placed 100mm (4") down into the bypass on the stainless trough. The wash cycle finished and the machine began to drain. To my absolute horror, water was spewing back up the bypass, and running onto my floor! Problem number 2. I quickly paused the machine, and placed the outlet hose directly into the laundry unit (45 litre trough). The laundry unit quickly filled, and when the water came to within 25mm of the top of the trough, once again I paused the machine! Problem number 3. How could I possibly leave this machine to wash unattended? LG are willing to send out a technician, but I'm sorry, that's not good enough! There are clearly issues with the pump/outlet, and the flow pressure, and I'm not willing to be further inconvenienced. There are too many risks already; I've only completed 2 loads of washing, and had to be in the laundry on both occasions. Please just take it away! NB: There are no blockages in the drainage system. I checked that as my first troubleshooting option. It is modern PVC piping that exits directly through the adjoining wall into the wastewater system. Never had an issue like this before!

Faulty – After 3 washes I have had to wash 2 of them again, sand still on clothes and marks on work uniform, i think i got a faulty one, the store have been good listening to the issues Show details

Dreadful – Only after 3 months use there is definitely something off with the way this machine drains water, which is making my clothes smell. I can’t find a filter to clean - apparently only a tech can do this. I live remote so not able to get someone to look at it. The tub clean is so unbelievably ineffective despite running for 5+ hours. I used to only… Read more

trust LG…not anymore. I thought maybe I bought a lemon but I can see from other reviews I’m not alone in having made a very expensive, bad purchase.

Overall is the Worst Ever – Did a lot of research, but was a total disaster decision. Wanted to be "boss of the wash" (remember that slogan?) Cannot leave it operating alone. Changes set program regularly. Longest running, most inefficient wash. Show details

Loyal LG customer no more – Having had a good experience with LG machines in the past, we decided to purchase this machine for our growing family. Just 5 months after purchase (12/21), the machine is not usable as the pump has stopped working, furthermore the jet spray function has never worked and the water level function is faulty. After calling the LG support line we… Read more

have been palmed off and left waiting indefinitely for a repair date. We have now been two weeks without a washing machine and counting. We have been literally begging for a replacement or store credit so that we can buy a new machine (and have our kids wear clean clothes!), but the people on the LG customer support line just say they will escalate the case then we call back and no one has a record of our original call. What kind of circus is this? I am beyond disappointed with the quality of this machine but furthermore the lack of customer service and ethics exhibited by LG. Unfortunately having to explore lodging an ACCC complaint.

The worst machine ever – A few months after buying this piece of.... The clothes smell very bad after washing and drying It's embarrassing to go out and stinky to wear these clothes I spent a lot of money to get rid if this smell and I have tried everything and nothing worked. So I'm stuck with more than $1000 washing machine which is wasting space and money and… Read more

energy and water for nothing I put one star rate because to submit your review You have to put at least a star Personally I wouldn’t even give this product -5 stars Don't BUY LG WASHING MACHINE

Hate it – Automatic water level doesn't even cover the load A regular wash takes over 1 hour 30 minutes Buttons on front so when you lean over you press them & change the settings Limited downloadable cycles, not enough customisations Show details

Waste of money – Bought this machine from Harvey Norman, jet spray system is not working And not mention on what cycle it will work as I watched it from start to finishing cycle 2nd problem is on quick it has give you only 2 option spin low or medium can to to high or ultra , very bad I called to customer service they said it work in rinse , but it won’t Show details

Disappointed is an understatement – Having only had this thing for one week and this machine is useless , instructions are few yet the machine is complicated. Water level is totally inaccurate, the length of the cycles are ridiculous to say the least .. I would gladly exchange it for an actual washing machine, you know … one that actually washes clothes in in an acceptable time ..… Read more

I really really hate it and will never recommend this useless imposter and poor excuse for a washing machine..l

The freight train rolls in again & again – I purchased this washing machine in May 2020 & is the worse washing we have ever purchased. It is the loudest washing I have ever heard running, so bad it sounds like a freight train coming. It tangle the clothes Does not put enough water into the machine It would be good to get some decent answers & service from LG This was a big mistake buying this machine Show details

Worst Washing Machine ever – Water level is not enough to wash clothes properly. We also have to do a separate Ultra Spin when the cycle has finished because if we don't we can still wring water out of the clothes with our hands. The settings will not allow us to do an Ultra Spin within the cycle we choose. For example, we select Cold Wash, Quick Wash and try to select Ultra… Read more

Spin but it does not accept it, and only allows us to do a High Spin which is why we then have to do an Ultra Spin after the washing cycle has finished. Many people have looked at the manual to see if we are doing something wrong, but we are not. Its just has a mind of its own.

Lint filter – Does this model have a lint filter can’t find one anywhere in the bowl the machine works great but can’t understand how to clean the lint filter and why does my softener and detergent dispenser fill up with water after a wash Show details
