  • I tried brass quick connect hose fittings but the ball bearings kept denting the brass and the fit got worse and worse.

    I replaced them with some stainless steel quick connect fittings I found on ebay from a power washer supply place. They have held up much better. The main drawbacks are cost and the seal is non standard so you would need to stock up spares/ hope they keep selling them.















  • Anecdotally, I loathe my LG and am trying to figure out what to replace it with.

    I have replaced the drain pump on it 5 times, because they did a terrible job designing the strainer basket, and the impeller is very fragile. It only takes a few strands of long hair to reach 3/4" past the strainer basket to tangle and break the impeller.

    It’s also an all in one, but the dryer functionality was clearly designed as a bolt on afterthought. There’s no lint filter so inevitably lint builds up and choked off airflow. Then the air temp gets hot enough to melt the front boot.

    When we first got the unit, our 40psi water pressure ruptured two internal hoses because lg couldn’t be bothered to use fiber reinforced hoses. Dealing with potential water damage so lg could save a few cents is not worth it.

    I will actively avoid LG going forward.
