I’ve been using the LG F4V3VYWKPE 9 kg 1400 RPM washing machine for about 1.5 years, and I’m extremely disappointed. Every time it runs—especially when I walk into the bathroom mid-cycle—there’s a strong burning plastic or melted rubber smell. It’s sharp and unpleasant, and it happens consistently.
I contacted LG’s authorized service, and their explanation left me stunned. They claimed it was caused by using liquid detergent and fabric softener at low temperatures (30–40°C). According to them, the softener sticks to the inner drum and burns during cycles, creating that awful smell. Their suggested solution? Wash at 80–90°C without softener and only with powder detergent, at least once a month.
Honestly, if the machine is this sensitive, it should have come with clear warnings like “not compatible with liquid detergent or softeners under 80°C.” I chose LG for its supposed quality, but I now feel misled and frustrated.

At an 800 RPM spin cycle, clothes come out soaking wet. When I wring them by hand, water drips out. When I used the dryer, the water tank filled to th...
Hello, we purchased an LG washing machine just 4 months ago, and it’s already damaging our clothes. It’s tearing fabric during normal cycles, and despite multiple complaints, no one is taking responsibility. When the service team finally came, they charged us ₺700, only to say there was “no issue” ...
I bought the LG washing machine model F4R3VYW3WE ABWPLTK on June 30th, 2021. I noticed some bumps on the front surface, so on November 14, 2023, I submitted a service request. But even though I waited for two days and didn't get any notifications, the service still didn't come. After I kept calling,...
The door gasket of our 4-year-old LG washing machine is punctured. When we called the service, they quoted ₺4,800 just for the gasket. For those who don't know, this is the most basic plastic part of the machine. Charging ₺4,800 for a simple piece of plastic is unbelievable. Their excuse was that th...
