Washing Machine - Layton,UT

I have had that happen before as well. As for getting the washer to just spin, there should be a setting that says "spin". If so, just turn the knob to the "spin" option and that should just take it through spinning again. Mine does that on occassion but not enough to worry about getting another washer YET!.

As for the clothes still being dirty or smelling like pee, perhaps the washer is too full. After watching me do laundry TONS of times, my 8 yr old decided she wanted to do it WITHOUT help. Well, I went to put the laundry in the dryer and noticed that it was VERY FULL. I didn't think anything about it until I started pulling clothes out and noticed some were still dirty. I pulled out half of them, rewashed and then repeated with the other half. So, make sure its not over full and if its not, I would have someone come out and look at it.

Wow, for a few months old, it better be under warranty by LG. I have also just bought a front-loader. I have found that sometime the heavy loads are really hard to get all the water out. The heavier the load, the smaller the load. Of course, others have mentioned a clogged filter. Check that out.
As for the clothes not getting clean, make sure that all the settings are right for stains. As for the clothes that are peed on, may I suggest a speed cycle as a pre-soak, then a regular wash. Or maybe just an extra rinse and spin cycle.

I did come across some very disturbing information that you should know about your washer. There may be a mold problem that you might not know about, and LG is involved in a class action suit over this. If you want to find out more, this is one link I have found http://www.murrayfrank.com/CM/NewCases/LG-Electronics.asp

If you just bought it, it should be under some kind of warranty. Typically, new appliances like that come with at least a standard 1 year factory warranty against defects. It sounds like something is actually wrong with it, not just that you're not using it right or something. Definitely ask the store you bought it from what their options are, and if they won't help, contact LG directly. With the model and serial numbers on the machine, they can tell you what kind of warranty is on it. And if you have the receipt still, most likely they are bound to warranty it for a year from the date of purchase. Definitely check it out because those machines are supposed to work really great and not give you problems like that.

Your filter could be clogged. The same thing happened to my washer and when I was just about to call a repair man we did a little research on line and found out that the filters in fount loading machines often get clogged. So I took off the bottom panel and unclogged the filter. It now works amazingly, it was not hard to unclog or work on and it saved a lot of money doing it myself. If you have any more questions please e-mail me. I hope you figure it out soon. It is no fun to have a washer that dose not work with a potty training child.
