    The product, in the report: I received a recall notice. Can’t reach a person at the toll-free number

    Tried to call your toll-free number. Finally got through to the opening message then was forwarded to a ringing number - rang 50 times. No pickup. Rather discouraging!

    Made Dec 19, 2012, sent to the company Jan 8, 2013, published by CPSC Jan 23, 2013

    The product, in the report: WASHER Serial number begining with 105KW

    I’ve noticed on many occasions that my washer had a very rapid, high speed spin to it, and I wondered if it was going to spin off it’s axis and fly out of the side of the washer. I didn’t think anything more about it till I heard about the recall last night briefly on our local news. I am contacting LG now to get it scheduled for repair.
