I purchased a washing machine from WS in February. Interestingly at the time, sales staff told us that most of the washers they sold were either unreliable or only had a 5 year expected life. I chalked that information up to a desire to sell an extended warranty. I did purchase a “major component “ service plan and was told that no matter what, that plan guaranteed WS would send a repair person to my home, but if it was not a major component, I would have to pay the repair cost. I’ve had my $1,000 LG washer for four months and it won’t drain - the drain is not clogged; the drain pump has failed. WS will contact LG under the warranty and in 2-3 weeks, LG may help us. WS does not consider a drain pump a major component of a washer and will not send someone to repair, even if I pay for the repair. It is beyond sad that 1. WS knows they sell poor performing appliances and 2. WS won’t assist customers in any meaningful way when those appliances fail - even when customers have paid extra for that assistance and are willing to pay repair costs. I never write bad reviews- I try to address issues with the company. In this case, it was not possible, so I want to help others who are considering making an appliance purchase make a better choice of appliance dealer than I did.
